The battery is located under the cab near the rear of the
undercarriage. See 1, Figure 4-12. Refer to “Tilting the
cab or canopy” on page 3-10 for how to tilt and secure
the cab to gain access to the battery.
Battery cables must be clean and tight. Remove any
acid or corrosion from the battery and cables using a
sodium bicarbonate and water solution. Cover the bat-
tery terminals and cable ends with battery-saver grease.
Note: The battery is maintenance-free and requires no
other service.
Using a Booster Battery (Jump-Starting)
Figure 4-12 Battery Location
• Keep arcs, sparks, flames and lighted
tobacco away from batteries. When
jump-starting from a booster battery,
make final connection (negative) at
engine frame away from the battery. Bat-
teries can create flammable gases.
Sparks or open flames can cause this
gas, and the battery, to explode.
• DO NOT jump-start or charge a frozen
battery. Warm battery to 60°F (16°C)
before connecting to a charger. Unplug
charger before connecting or discon-
necting cables to battery.
When jump-starting from another machine,
be sure the second machine is not running
if the glow plugs are used on unstarted
machine. High voltage spikes from a run-
ning machine can burn out the glow plugs.
Damage to the alternator can occur if:
• the engine is operated with the battery
cables disconnected,
• the battery cables are connected when
using a fast charger or when welding on
the machine (When welding on the
machine, remove both cables from the
battery and ground the welder to the
machine frame near the repair area), or
• battery booster cables are connected
incorrectly.
The booster battery must be 12 volt.
