engines.
3. Start the engine
with
the
good
batteryand run at a mod-
erate speed.
4. Start the engine
with
the discharged battery.
Once
it
starts, run it at a moderate speed.
CAUTION

in Figure 11.
Begin
at point 4,

points 3, 2 and 1.
Battery
Cables
Poor
terminal connections will cause excessive resis-
tance. Defective cable insulation can cause partial short
circuits.
Both
conditions
may
result in an abnormal volt-
age drop in the starter
motor
cable.
When
this happens,
the resulting hard-start condition will place further strain

Check
cable condition and terminal con-
nections periodically.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
Some
electrical systems are equipped
with
a battery
cutoff
switch connected
between
the positive terminal
of
the batteryand the startersolenoid. The switch provides a
means to cut
off
all circuits from the battery in case
