Battery handling
When removing batteries, always disconnect
the negative cable first.
When fitting batteries, always connect the positive
cable first.
Dispose of old batteries in an environmentally
friendly way. Batteries contain toxic lead.
Do not use a quick-charger for charging the
battery. This may shorten battery life.
Jump starting
Do not connect the negative cable to the negative
terminal on the dead battery. A spark can ignite the
oxy-hydrogen gas formed around the battery.
Check that the battery used for jump starting has
the same voltage as the dead battery.
Turn the ignition and all power consuming equipment off.
Switch off the engine on the machine which is providing
jump start power.
First connect the jump start battery's positive terminal (1)
to the flat battery's positive terminal (2). Then connect the
jump start battery's negative terminal (3) to, for example,
a bolt (4) or the lifting eye on the machine with the flat
battery.
Start the engine on the power providing machine. Let it run
for a while. Now try to start the other machine. Disconnect
the cables in the reverse order.
