8.3.4 STARTING ENGINE WITH BOOSTER CABLE
Start the engine with booster cable as described below.
[1] CAUTIONS IN CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING BOOSTER CABLE
• Never let the (+) terminal come into contact with
the (-) terminal when connecting the cable.
• Wear goggles and rubber gloves when starting the
engine with the booster cable.
• Do not let the donor machine and machine in
failure come into contact with each other.
Because the battery produces hydrogen gas,
sparks around the battery can cause an explosion.
• Do not make mistakes in connecting the booster cable. Note that there will be some sparks
when making the last connection. Make this connection at the location as far as possible
from the battery.
• Do not let the booster cable clips contact each other or the machine when disconnecting
the booster cable.
CAUTION
• Use booster cable and clips of appropriate size for the battery size.
• The battery in the donor machine and machine in failure should be of the same capacity.
The starting system of this machine is 24V.
• Check that the cable and clips have no breakage or corrosion.
• Connect the clips securely.
• Verify that each operation lever is at the neutral position.
