Note: BE SURE the jumper battery is a 12-volt D.C. battery.
1. Turn the keyswitches of both vehicles to OFF, be sure the vehicles are in
“neutral” and NOT touching each other.
2. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on the
disabled loader first. DO NOT allow the positive clamps to touch any metal
other than the positive (+) battery terminals.
3. Connect the other end of the positive jumper cable to the jumper vehicle’s bat-
tery positive (+) terminal.
4. Connect the negative (-) jumper cable to the jumper vehicle’s battery negative
(-) terminal.
5. Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connection to the disabled loader’s
engine block or loader frame (ground) – NOT to the disabled battery’s negative
post. If connected to the engine, keep the jumper clamp away from the battery,
fuel lines and moving parts.
6. Start the loader. If it does not start at once, start the jumper vehicle engine to
avoid excessive drain on the booster battery.
7. After the disabled loader is started and running smoothly, have the second
person remove the jumper cables (negative (-) jumper cable first) from the
jumper vehicle’s battery and then from the disabled loader while being sure
NOT to short the two cables together.
Allow sufficient time for the skid-steer loader alternator to build-up a charge in
the battery before attempting to operate the loader or shut the engine off.
