Check mirrors and rear view camera (if equipped) on machine before starting operations. Clean off any dirt and adjust view for good visibility. When operating or traveling during poor visibility conditions, follow the preceding work site rules. It may not be possible to adjust all visual aids to see all the way around the machine. Therefore, additional precautions such as flagman, barricades, etc., must be taken to keep other personnel out of the work area. Boost Starting or Charging Engine Batteries Follow these instructions to prevent an explosion or fire when connecting booster cables to batteries: Turn "OFF" all electric equipment before connecting leads to battery.
This includes electric switches on battery charger or battery booster equipment. When boost starting from another machine or vehicle do not allow two machines to touch. Wear safety goggles and gloves while battery connections are made. HAOA310L 24 volt battery units consisting of two series connected 12 volt batteries have a cable connecting one positive (+) terminal on one of the 12 volt batteries to a negative (-) terminal on the other battery. Booster or charger cable connections must be made between the non series connected positive (+) terminals and between the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery and metal frame of the machine being boosted or charged.
The final booster cable connection, at metal frame of the machine being charged or boost started, must be as far away from the batteries as possible. Refer to “Starting Engine With a Booster Cable” on page 3-11, for proper procedure in this manual. Figure 27 Connect positive (+) cable first when installing cables and disconnect negative (-) cable first when removing them. Safety 1-37 DX225LC-3
