3-18 BA 6001/9001/10001 En – Edition 2.0 * * 6001b330.fm
Operation
When the engine has started ...
☞ Check whether all telltales have gone out:
☞ Let the engine warm up
At cold temperatures:
☞ Increase the engine revs slowly
☞ Do not run the engine at full load until it has reached its operating temperature
Engine warm-up
Once it has started, let the engine warm up at slightly increased idling revs. Run the
engine without load during the warm-up phase (drive lever in neutral position). During the
warm-up phase, check for unusual noise, exhaust colour, leaks, malfunctions or damage.
In case of malfunctions, damage or leaks, park and secure the machine, and find out the
cause for the damage and have it repaired.
Jump-starting the engine (supply battery)
Safety instructions
• Never jump-start the engine if the battery of the machine is frozen – danger of
explosion!
☞ Dispose of a frozen battery!
• The excavator must not touch the jump-starting vehicle when connected with jump
leads – risk of sparking!
• The external power source must deliver 12 V; higher supply voltages will damage the
electric system of the vehicles!
• Use only authorised jump leads which conform to the safety requirements and which
are in perfect condition!
• The jump lead connected to the positive + terminal of the starting battery must never be
brought into connection with electrically conductive vehicle parts
– danger of short circuit!
• Route the jump leads so they cannot catch on rotating components in the engine
compartment!
Procedure
☞ Drive the jump-starting vehicle close enough to the machine so that the jump leads can
reach to connect the two batteries
☞ Let the engine of the jump-starting vehicle run
☞ First connect one end of the red jump lead (+) to the + terminal of the flat battery, then
connect the other end to the
+ terminal of the starting battery
☞ Connect one end of the black jump lead (–) to the – terminal of the starting battery
☞ Connect the other end of the black jump lead (–) onto a solid metal component fimly
mounted on the engine block or onto the engine block itself. Do not connect it to the
negative terminal of the flat battery, as otherwise explosive gas emerging from the
battery can ignite if sparks are formed!
☞ Start the engine of the machine with the flat battery
Once the engine has started:
☞ With the engine running, disconnect both jump leads in exactly the reverse order (first
remove the
– terminal, then the + terminal) – this prevents sparking in the vicinity of
the battery!
