WARNING
Explosive gas is produced while a battery is in
use or being charged. Keep flames or sparks
away from the battery area. Be sure battery is
charged in a well-ventilated area.
NEVER lay a metal object on top of a battery as
a short circuit can result.
Battery acid is harmful on contact with skin or
fabrics. If acid spills, follow these first aid tips:
1. IMMEDIATELY remove any clothing on
touched by acid spills.
2. If acid contacts the skin, rinse the affected
area with running water for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. If acid comes in contact with the eyes, flood
the eyes with running water for 10 to 15
minutes. See a doctor at once. NEVER use any
medication or eye drops unless prescribed by
the doctor.
4. To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use
one of the following mixtures:
• 1 pound (0.5 kg) of baking soda in 1 U.S.
gallon (4 liters) of water.
• 1 pint (0.5 liters) of household ammonia in
1 U.S. gallon (4 liters) of water.
Whenever the battery is removed from the
paver, BE SURE to disconnect the negative (-)
battery terminal connection cable first.
Jump-starting
If the battery becomes discharged or does not have
enough power to start the engine, the paver can be
jump-started. Complete the following steps to
jump-start the engine.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE that the jumper
battery is 12-volt D.C. and that the vehicle
used for jump starting has a negative-ground
electrical system.
WARNING
The ONLY safe method for jump-starting a
discharged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to
perform the following procedure. The second
person is needed for removing the jumper
cables so that the operator does not have to
leave the operator's position while the engine
is running. NEVER make the jumper cable
connections directly to the starter solenoid of
either engine. DO NOT start the engine from
any position other than the operator's position,
and then ONLY after being sure all controls are
in "neutral."
Closely follow the jump-start procedures, in the
order listed, to avoid personal injury. In
addition, wear safety glasses to protect your
eyes and avoid leaning over the battery while
jump-starting.
DO NOT attempt to jump-start the paver if the
battery is frozen, because this may cause it to
rupture or explode.
1. Turn the keyswitches on both vehicles to
"OFF." Be sure that both vehicles are in
"neutral" and are not touching.
2. Connect one end of the positive (+) jumper
cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on the
disabled vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT allow the positive (+)
cable clamps to touch any metal other than
the positive (+) battery terminal.
3. Connect the other end of the positive (+)
jumper cable to the jumper battery positive (+)
terminal.
4. Connect one end of the negative (-) jumper
cable to the jumper battery negative (-)
terminal.
5. Connect the other end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to the disabled paver's engine
block or frame (ground), and not to the
disabled battery negative post. If making the
connection to the engine, keep the jumper
clamp away from the battery, fuel lines and
moving parts.
