16.3.3 STARTING ENGINE WITH BOOSTER CABLE
When starting the engine with a booster cable, do as follows:
Precautions when connecting and disconnecting booster cable
WARNING
!! When connecting the cables, never contact the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals together.
!! When starting the engine with a booster cable, always wear
safety glasses.
!! Be careful not to let the normal machine and problem machine
contact each other. This prevents sparks from generating near
the battery which could ignite the hydrogen gas given off by the
battery. If hydrogen gas explodes, it could cause serious injury.
!! Make sure there is no mistake in the booster cable connections.
The final connection is to the engine block of the problem
machine, sparks could be generated when this is done, so
connect to a place as far as possible from the battery. (However,
avoid connecting the cable to the work equipment, as
conduction is poor.)
!! Use care when removing the cables from the machine that has
been started. Do not allow the cable ends to contact each other
or the machine, to avoid hydrogen explosion.
NOTICE
!! The size of the booster cable and clip should be suitable for the
battery size.
!! The battery of the normal machine must be the same capacity as that
of the engine to be started.
!! Check the cables and clips for damage or corrosion.
!! Make sure that the cables and clips are firmly connected.
REMARKS:
There are two batteries at the rear of the machine behind the grill. The
battery used for the ground is on the left side of the machine.
