• Take care not to invert the cables and connect the earth cable (-) last, as far from the battery as possi- ble. • Remove the cables with great care; prevent the cables disconnected from the battery from touching other parts of the machine, in order to avoid the explosion of the hydrogen. IMPORTANT • The cables and pliers must be suitable for the current load that must be transferred. • The battery to be used for the starting must have greater capacity or at least the same capacity as the battery of the machine to be started. • Make sure that the cables and pliers are neither corroded, nor damaged. • Make sure that the pliers hold the terminals firmly.
