4.2. Starting the engine with a booster cable Troubleshooting 4.2. Starting the engine with a booster cable For starting the engine with a booster cable, proceed as follows: Precautions for connecting and disconnecting the booster When connecting the cables, never contact the positive (+) and negative (-) teminals. When starting the engine with a booster cable, always wear safety goggles. Be careful not to let the normal machine and defective machine contact each other. This prevents sparks from being generated near the battery which could ignite the hydrogen gas leaking from the battery. If hydrogen gas explodes, it may cause serious injury.
Make sure that there is no mistake in the booster cable connections. The final connection is made to the engine block of the defective machine, but sparks will be generated when this is done, so connect it to a place as far as possible from the battery. Be careful when removing the cables from the machine that has been started. Do not allow the cable ends to con tact each other or the machine to avoid hydrogen explo sion. NOTE The size of the booster cable and clip should be suitable for the battery size. The battery of the normal machine must have the same capacity as that of the engine to be started. Check the cables and clips for damage or corrosion.
Make sure that the cables and clips are firmly connected. 4-6 WA90-5 – VEAM270100 WARNING WARNING INC ORRECT AE063650
