5.3.3 Additional engine heaters
During cold weather, we recommend using either an engine block heater or another type of auxiliary heater. Switch on
the heater well in advance before starting the engine. Using a heater will significantly reduce engine wear and emissions
during cold starts, and also improves cabin heating.
Battery gases may explode. Do not smoke near the battery and ensure no
naked flames or sparks are present.
If the machine’s battery is frozen, do not try to start it with an auxiliary
battery. Carefully follow the instructions provided.
Provide auxiliary power using jump leads from the battery of another machine as follows:
1. Ensure that the main power is switched OFF.
2. Drive the assisting machine close enough to the multi-purpose machine to allow the cables to connect them. THE
MACHINES MUST NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER.
3. Set all controls to neutral on both machines.
4. Use protective glasses and rubber gloves.
5. Use the red jump lead to connect the positive terminals of the auxiliary battery and the machine battery.
6. Connect one end of the black jump lead to the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery.
7. Connect the other end of the black jump lead to the frame of the multi‐purpose machine.
8. Turn ON the main power switch.
9. Start the engine of the machine providing the power, and let it run for 2–5 minutes.
10. Start the engine of the multi-purpose machine.
11. Detach the jump leads in reverse order (7, 6, and 5).
