G.

Cover open cells of all compressor batteries with
clean dampened cloths before attempting to
jump start.

H.

Attempt to jump start only with a vehicle having a
negative ground electrical system with the same
voltage, and is also equipped with a battery or
batteries of comparable size or larger than sup-
plied in the compressor. 

DO NOT

 attempt to

jump start using motor generator sets, welders or
other sources of DC power as serious damage
may result.

I.

Bring the starting vehicle alongside the compres-
sor, but 

DO NOT

 permit metal to metal contact

between the compressor and the starting vehicle. 

J.

Set the parking brakes of both the compressor (if
provided) and the starting vehicle or otherwise
block both sides of all wheels.

K.

Place the starting vehicle in neutral or park, turn
off all non-essential accessory electrical loads
and start its engine.

L.

Use only jumper cables that are clean, in good
condition and are heavy enough to handle the
starting current.

M.

Avoid accidental contact between jumper cable
terminal clips or clamps and any metallic portion
of either the compressor or the starting vehicle to
minimize the possibility of uncontrolled arcing
which might serve as a source of ignition.

N.

Positive battery terminals are usually identified
by a plus (+) sign on the terminal and the letters
POS adjacent to the terminal. Negative battery
terminals are usually identified by the letters
NEG adjacent to the terminal or a negative (-)
sign.

O.

Connect one end of a jumper cable to the posi-
tive (POS) (+) battery terminal in the starting
vehicle. When jump starting 24V compressors
and if the starting vehicle is provided with two (2)
12V batteries connected in series, connect the
jumper cable to the positive (POS) (+) terminal of
the ungrounded battery.

P.

Connect the other end of the same jumper cable
to the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the starter
motor battery in the compressor when jump start-
ing 24V compressors, to the positive (POS) (+)
terminal of the ungrounded battery in the com-
pressor.

Q.

Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the
grounded negative (NEG) (-) terminal of the bat-

tery in the starting vehicle. When jump starting
24V compressors and if the starting vehicle is
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series, connect the jumper cable to the negative
(NEG) (-) terminal of the grounded battery.

R.

Check your connections. 

DO NOT

 attempt to

start a 24V compressor with one 12V battery in
the starting vehicle. 

DO NOT

 apply 24V to one

12V battery in the compressor.

S.

Connect the other end of this same jumper cable
to a clean portion of the compressor engine
block away from fuel lines, the crank case
breather opening and the battery.

T.

Start the compressor in accordance with normal
procedure. Avoid prolonged cranking.

U.

Allow the compressor to warm up. When the
compressor is warm and operating smoothly at
normal idle RPM, disconnect the jumper cable
from the engine block in the compressor, then
disconnect the other end of this same cable from
the grounded negative (NEG) (-) terminal of the
battery in the starting vehicle. Then disconnect
the other jumper cable from the positive (POS)
(+) terminal of the battery in the compressor, or if
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series, from the ungrounded battery in the com-
pressor, and finally, disconnect the other end of
this same jumper cable from the positive (POS)
(+) terminal of the battery in the starting vehicle
or from the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the
ungrounded battery in the starting vehicle, if it is
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series.

V.

Remove and carefully dispose of the dampened
cloths, as they may now be contaminated with
acid, then replace all vent caps.

1.12 IMPLEMENTATION OF 

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT

The energy control procedure defines actions
necessary to lockout a power source of any machine
to be repaired, serviced or set-up, where unexpected
motion, or an electrical or other energy source, would
cause personal injury or equipment damage. The
power source on any machine shall be locked out by
each employee doing the work except when motion
is necessary during setup, adjustment or trouble-
shooting.

A.

The established procedures for the application of
energy control shall cover the following elements
