Troubleshooting
STARTING ENGINE WITH JUMPER LEADS
NOTE
• The current-supplying and the discharged batteries must have
the same nominal voltage.
• The capacities of the current-supplying batteries must not be
significantly less than the capacities of the discharged batteries.
• The cross-section of the jumper leads and the cable terminals
must be selected according to the size of the batteries.
WARNING
The battery contains strongly aggressive battery acid which
may spill and burn your eyes!
Carry goggles and rubber gloves if you work on the battery.
Immediately wash off battery acid from eyes or skin using
plenty of water and go to see a doctor.
CONNECTING THE JUMPER LEADS
CAUTION
A short circuit can damage parts of the electrical installation.
It may occur in the following situations:
• If you join the positive and the negative pole of the battery
while they are conducting (e.g. with a tool).
• If the operationable and the defective machine have contact
with each other and if current is supplied immediately after
connecting the positive terminals.
• If a terminal slips off and comes in contact with the machine!
Attach the terminals firmly and make sure durig connecting
and disconnecting the jumper leads that
• both cable ends neither touch each other nor the machine;
• both machines do not touch each other.
1. Turn the start switches of both machines to '0' (OFF).
2. Connect one terminal of the jumper lead (A) to the positive pole
(+) of the empty battery (L).
3. Connect the other terminal of the jumper lead (A) to the positive
pole (+) of the charged battery (V).
4. Connect a terminal of the jumper lead (B) to the negative pole (-)
of the charged battery (V).
WARNING
Danger of explosions! If you connect the last terminal to the
engine block of the defective machine, sparks are generated
which can ignite the gas which has formed inside the battery!
For this reason, connect the last terminal with the widest
possible distance to the battery.
5. Connect the last terminal of the jumper lead (B) to the engine
block of the machine with the discharged battery.
