11 OPERATION OF THE ENGINE B Observe Following Guidelines when Starting with an Auxiliary Battery. 1. Bring the second machine with the same battery voltage as near as possible to the excavator. THE MACHINES MUST NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER. 2. Put the levers and pedals of both vehicles in the neutral position and the lock lever in the "Lock" position. 3. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves. 4. Remove the battery caps from both batteries. (If present) 5. Cover the battery opening with a cloth. Make sure that the cloth does not touch the battery terminals. 6.
Connect the terminal of the red jump lead with the plus terminal of the empty battery and connect the other end of the cable to the plus terminal of the auxiliary battery. 7. Connect the black cable to the minus terminal of the auxiliary battery. 8. Connect the other end of the black cable (coming from the auxiliary battery) with the excavator frame as far away as possible from the empty battery. 9. Start the engine of the second machine and let it run for a while. Start the excavator with the empty battery. 10.Disconnect the jump leads in the opposite sequence (Steps 8, 7, 6). 11.Remove the cloth and replace the battery caps. A This excavator has a negative earthed 12 Volt starting system.
A Only use the same voltage when using an auxiliary battery. A Using a higher voltage will cause serious damage to the electrical system. When using an auxiliary battery, only the compatible (same) voltage is permissible. B Precautions in case of overheat To avoid personal injury: A Do not open the radiator cap during and just after operation. Hot water may gush out and get you burned. Wait long enough until the radiator cools down. If by any change cooling water gets heated up to the boiling point or over (overheated), the whistle at the reserve tank drain hose end blows. In such case, take the following steps. 1. Stop operation in a safe condition. (Disconnect the engine's load.) 2.
Do not stop the engine suddenly. Keep the engine idling under no load for about 5 minutes and turn it off. 3. Keep yourself enough away from the machine for another 10 minutes or while steam is given off. 4. Make sure there is no hazard of getting burned. Pinpoint and remove the cause of overheat, referring to "TROUBLESHOOTING". Then get the engine restarted. (1) Remove battery caps (if present) (2) Empty battery (3) Put a cloth over the battery openings (4) Jump leads (5) Auxiliary battery
