8.4 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 and (-) terminal come into
contact with the other when connecting the cable.
• Wear goggles and rubber gloves when starting the engine
with the booster cable.
• Do not let the normal machine and machine in failure
come into contact with the other.
Because the battery produces hydrogen gas, sparks
around the battery can cause 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 the other or
machine when disconnecting the booster cable.
CAUTION
• Use booster cable and clips of appropriate size for the battery size.
• The battery in the normal machine and machine in failure should be of the same capacity.
• Check that the cable and clips have no breakage and corrosion.
• Connect the clips securely.
• Verify that the operation levers are at the “NEUTRAL” position.
[2] CONNECTING BOOSTER CABLE
Connect the booster cable in the numerical order shown
in the figure on the right.
1. Turn the starter switch of both of the normal machine
and machine in failure to the “OFF” position.
2. Connect a clip of the booster cable (A) to the (+)
terminal of the machine in failure.
3. Connect the other clip of the booster cable (A) to the (+)
terminal of the normal machine.
4. Connect a clip of the booster cable (B) to the (-)
terminal of the normal machine.
5. Connect the other clip of the booster cable (B) to the
engine block of the machine in failure.
