13.1 Jump starts (with jumper cables)
If the battery is dead, another battery (12 Volt) can be used in
conjunction
with suitable jumper cables to start the excavator.
ATTENTION: The following procedure requiring two people is
the
only safe method for bridging a dead or run down
battery. Two people are required so that the
jumper
cables can be removed without the driver having
to
leave the cab.
Never attempt to connect a jumper cable when
the
battery to be charged is frozen. This can cause
damage or an explosion. Follow the instructions
completely and in the correct order to avoid
injury.
CAUTION:
Check before connecting batteries:
The good battery must also be a 12 volt battery.
Examine jumper cables and terminals for damage, rust,
etc.
1. Turn the ignition keys of both vehicles to "off" and ensure that
the
operating levers of both vehicles are in "neutral position" and
that the
vehicles are not touching.
2. Remove the battery filler caps and ensure that the battery
fluid level
is correct. A clean cloth must also be placed over the openings to
prevent battery acid from boiling over.
CAUTION: If acid splashes onto skin, eyes, or clothing, wash
immediately with large amounts of water.
3. Use jumper cables to connect the positive terminals (+) of
the
batteries. Ensure that cable and terminal are properly
secured.
CAUTION: Never attempt to connect the jumper cable directly to
the
starter solenoid switch, always connect it to the positive
terminal (+) of the excavator battery. Connection of the
jumper cable to the negative terminal (-) should always be
carried out last.
4. Connect a jumper cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
dead or run
down battery.
5. Finally, connect the jumper cable to the negative terminal (-)
of the
battery of the assisting vehicle. Ensure that cable and terminal
are
properly secured.
