b ‘Jump Starting’
When connecting a slave battery (A), to boost a discharged
battery (D), on the machine ensure that:
• The slave battery (A) is of the same nominal voltage as the
machine’s battery.
• The interconnecting cables (B & C) are of sufficient capacity
to carry starting current.
• The cables are connected between battery terminals in the
following order,
1st - Slave Battery Positive (B+) to Machine Positive (D+)
2nd - Slave Battery Negative (C-) to Machine Earth
1
(E-)
• IMPORTANT - It is essential to avoid sparks when
connecting cables to a discharged battery. The battery
generates inflammable gases and may pose as a fire risk.
• The engine speed is reduced to minimum idle speed before
disconnecting the jumper cables.
• The machines battery cables must never be removed while
the engine is running.
A - Slave Battery D - Machines Battery
B - Positive Jump Lead E - Negative Jump Lead to Chassis
C - Negative Jump Lead F - Machine Chassis
1. Machine Earth - Earth point should be made on the engine or
chassis (F), away from the discharged battery (D).
b
A frozen battery may explode if charged or the machine is
‘jump started’ and the engine run. To prevent the battery
electrolyte freezing, keep the battery fully charged
