7.6 Use of start assistance terminals
7.6.1 Preparation
 Obtain a start assistance source with the correct voltage and sufficient capacity that is fit for purpose and
place it as close as possible to the machine, yet at a safe distance.
 Obtain suitable start assistance cables with sufficient length and thickness and intact insulation, fitted with
good, preferably insulated clamps.
 Make sure the area is safe, without any water or conductive materials. Make sure there are no loose parts on
the machine or that may fall on the machine.
 Place insulating material to prevent indirect contact with the + terminal (behind red protective cap) and
chassis.
 Remove the remote control battery from the charger on the machine to prevent damage.
7.6.2 Procedure
 Make sure the machine and the start assistance source are switched off.
 Place insulating material between the chassis and + start assistance terminal, if necessary.
 Make sure the start assistance cables are connected to the start assistance source correctly.
 Always hold the + start assistance cable in your hand, prevent contact and do not place it near the – start
assistance cable clamp.
 Prevent the start assistance cables from becoming twisted together; separate them from each other.
 First connect the + start assistance cable by clamping it firmly to the + start
assistance terminal (with the red protective cap). Ensure that the clamp
cannot contact the chassis or the – start assistance terminal (see figure 77).
 Connect the – start assistance cable.
 Verify that the clamps are correctly attached and making good contact.

 Turn on the key switch on the machine, activate the control and, preferably, switch on an electrical
consumer, such as the work lights.
 Switch on the start assistance source and allow the machine to charge for a few minutes.
 Preheat the diesel engine and start the machine. Avoid excessively long cranking.
 Switch off the start assistance source and remove the start assistance cables in the reverse order.
 Place the protective caps back on the start assistance terminals. Replace them if they are damaged.
