Operation 3.7 Troubleshooting Starting engine with booster cable When starting the engine with a booster cable, do as follows: Precautions when connecting and disconnecting booster cable z When connecting the cables, never contact the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. z When starting the engine with a booster cable, always wear safety glasses and rubber gloves. z Be careful not to let the normal machine and problem machine contact each other. This prevents sparks from generating near the battery which could ignite the hydrogen gas given off by the battery. z Make sure that there is no mistake in the booster cable connections.
The final connection is to the engine block of the problem machine, but sparks will be generated when this is done, so connect to a place as far as possi- ble from the battery. GK032231 z When disconnecting the booster cable, take care not to bring the clips in contact with each other or with the machine body. NOTE z The size of the booster cable and clip should be suitable for the battery size. z The battery of the normal machine must be the same capacity as that of the engine to be started. z Check the cables and clips for damage or corrosion. z Make sure that the cables and clips are firmly con- nected.
z Check that the safety lock levers and parking brake levers of both machines are in the LOCK position. z Check that each lever is in the NEUTRAL position. WA150-5H – VEAM934100 3-115 WARNING WARNING
