OM2033 Safety - Section 20 General Safety Page 20-7 STARTING WITH BOOSTER CABLES ALWAYS wear safety glasses or goggles when starting the machine with booster cables. When starting from another machine, do not allow the two machines to touch. Be sure to connect the positive (+) cable first when installing the booster cables. Disconnect the ground or negative (-) cable first when removing them. If any tool touches between the positive (+) terminal and the chassis, it will cause sparks. This is dangerous, so be sure to work carefully. Connect the batteries in parallel: positive to positive and negative to negative.
When connecting the ground cable to the frame of the machine to be started, be sure to connect it as far as possible from the battery. TOWING WHEN TOWING, FIX WIRE TO HOOK Towing in the wrong way may lead to serious personal injury or damage. When using another machine to tow this machine, use a wire rope with ample strength for the weight of this machine. Never tow a machine on a slope. Do not use any towing rope that has kinks or is twisted. Do not stand astride the towing cable or wire rope. When connecting a machine that is to be towed, do not let any one come between the towing machine and the machine that is being towed.
Set the coupling of the machine being towed in a straight line with the towing portion of the machine, and secure it in position. (For towing method, see Section 3, Operating Instructions, TOWING)
