Starting with booster cables
If any mistake is made in the method of connecting the booster
cables, it may cause the battery to explode, so always do as fol-
lows.
! When starting with a booster cable, carry out the starting
operation with two workers (one worker sitting in the opera-
tor's seat and the other working with the battery).
! When starting from another machine, do not allow the two
machines to touch.
! When connecting the booster cables, turn the starting switch
OFF for both the normal machine and problem machine.
There is a hazard that the machine will move when the
power is connected.
! Be sure to connect the positive (+) cable first when installing
the booster cables. Disconnect the negative (-) cable
(ground side) first when removing them.
! When removing the booster cables, be careful not to let the
booster cable clips touch each other or to let the clips touch
the machine.
! Always wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when starting
the engine with booster cables.
! When connecting a normal machine to a problem machine
with booster cables, always use a normal machine with the
same battery voltage as the problem machine.
! For details of the starting procedure when using booster
cables, see "Starting engine with booster cable (3-171)".
