Alternative Starting Procedure:
A weak or discharged battery will not supply the amount of CCA (Cold
Cranking Amps) necessary to initiate and maintain cranking the engine while
supplying the required voltage to start the engine. If the engine fails to crank, or
cranks slowly due to a weak chassis battery, there are electrical back-up systems in
place that will increase chassis battery voltage.
Battery Boost Switch:
The Battery Boost switch engages a heavy-duty solenoid to electrically connect
the house batteries to the engine battery in the event the engine won't crank or
cranks slowly. The solenoid is designed for short-term high current intermittent
use. Engaging the boost solenoid for an extended period will damage the solenoid.
