4. BATTERY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
BATTERY HANDLING CAUTIONS
The battery fluid includes diluted sulfuric acid, and generates
hydrogen gas, and causes bodily accidents and fires if handle
improperly, so always observe the followings.
• Do not let a cigarette or any fire source approach the battery.
• Always put on protective glasses and rubber gloves before handling
the battery.
• If the battery fluid contacted clothing or skin, immediately wash
away by huge quantity of water.
• If the battery fluid entered an eye, wash immediately with water and
see the doctor as soon as possible.
• If you have swallowed the battery fluid by mishap, immediately drink
huge quantity of water, milk, raw egg or vegetable oil, and see the
doctor as soon as possible.
• Wipe with a wet clean cloth when cleaning the battery upper surface
or related part. Do not use organic solvent or detergent for instance
gasoline or paint thinner.
• Tighten the battery cap fully.
• If the battery fluid is frozen, do not charge battery or start the engine
using other power source. Such act may cause the battery to catch
fire.
• Before charging or starting up using other power source, defreeze
the battery fluid and check that failures such as battery fluid leak do
not exist.
• Always detach the battery from the Machine frame before charging
the battery.
CAUTIONS WHEN STARTING UP USING BOOSTER CABLE
Wrong booster cable connection method may result in fire, so always
observe the followings.
• Start the engine by two persons, with one standing on the driving
operation position in the travel operation panel side.
• When starting using other Machine, be careful to prevent contact
between the normal Machine and broken Machine.
• Keep the starter switch key of both the normal Machine and the
broken Machine in OFF position when the booster cable is
connected.
• Do not connect to wrong side [connecting (+) to (-), (-) to (+)] when
connecting the booster cable.
• Start connecting from (+) terminal first, but start disconnecting from
(-) terminal (ground) first.
• Connect the ground to the (-) terminal of the battery of the broken
Machine when connecting the ground as the last procedure.
See “Operation 8.4 Starting Engine with Booster Cable” for
details.
• Avoid the contact between clips of the booster cable, and contact
between a clip and the Machine when disconnecting the booster
cable.
