BATTERIES
Safety
Battery gases are explosive. Avoid sparks while charging
batteries. Do not disturb connection between batteries until
charger is turned off.
Another source of explosion lies in the reverse connection of
charging equipment. This hazard is present with all types of
chargers, but particularly in the case of high-rate equipment.
Carefully check the connections before turning on the
charger.
Jump-Starting a Battery
The 999 with Tier 4 Final Engine has remote battery
terminals as shown in Figure 7-1
.
Improper use of a booster battery to start a crane also
presents an explosion hazard. To minimize this hazard, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Connect one end of each jumper cable to the proper
battery terminals on the crane to be started. Do not allow
cable ends to touch.
2. Connect the positive cable to the positive terminal of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the remaining cable to the frame or block of the
starting vehicle. Never connect it to the grounded
terminal of the starting vehicle.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard!
Batteries can explode with great violence and spraying of
acid if a spark or flame is brought too near them. The
room or compartment in which batteries are stored must
be ventilated and away from flames or sparks.
Chemical Burn Hazard!
Battery electrolyte can cause severe burns. If electrolyte
comes in contact with eyes, skin, or clothing, the area
must be immediately flushed with large amounts of water.
Seek medical attention in event of an electrolyte burn.
Always wear eye protection when servicing batteries.
