gradual warm up of the
engine oil and a better
lubrication.
• In case of engine jump-
starting, remove the
connecting cables (see following chapter).

JUMP-STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTICE
Do not start the engine using a quick charge
booster to avoid any damage to the electronic
boards.
DANGER
When jump-starting the engine through the
battery of another machine, make sure that the
two vehicles cannot collide to prevent formation
of sparks. Batteries give off a flammable gas and
sparks may burn it and cause an explosion
Do not smoke when checking the electrolyte
level.
Keep any metal object like buckles, watch
straps, etc. clear of the battery positive (+)
terminal. These elements can short between
the terminal and nearby metal work and the
operator can get burned.
The booster supply must have the same rated
voltage and output of the battery installed on
the handler.
To jump-start the engine:
• Turn any users off by the special control levers.
• Put the gear lever to neutral and engage the
parking brake.
• Ensure the machine battery
A
is connected to
the frame earth, the terminals are well tightened
and the electrolyte level is regular.
• Connect the two batteries as shown in the
figure. Connect first the positive terminals of the
two batteries, then the negative terminal of the
booster supply
B
to the machine frame earth.
• If the booster supply is installed on a second
vehicle, make sure that the latter does not touch
the handler.
To avoid damage to the electronic
instruments of the machine, the engine of
the machine where the booster supply is
installed, must be stopped.
