Safety
•
Connect charged battery positive (+) to stalled battery
positive (+).
•
Connect charged battery negative (–) to stalled
telehandler ground. Make the connection to the stalled
telehandler ground last.
•
Connect jump start cable to stalled telehandler ground
a safe distance from the battery to prevent sparks near
the battery.
•
Jump start only with a power source with the same
voltage as the stalled telehandler.
•
Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled
telehandler to prevent them from operating when the
power source is connected.
•
Electrolyte contains acid and could cause serious
personal injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.
•
Wear proper personal protective equipment, including
safety glasses.
Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid,
which is poison and could cause severe chemical burns.
Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use
protective gear when handling batteries. DO NOT tip a bat-
tery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.
If contact does occur, follow these First Aid suggestions:
•
External contact
- Flush with water.
•
Eyes
- Flush with water (including under the eyelids) for
at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immedi-
ately. Flushing must begin immediately to avoid per-
manent eye tissue damage.
•
Internal contact

to dilute stomach contents. Do not induce vomiting.
Get medical attention immediately.
IMPORTANT - In case of internal contact, DO NOT give fluids
that induce vomiting.

Warning
Wear eye protection when starting a
telehandler with jump start cables. Improper
jump start procedures could cause the
battery to explode, which could result in
death or serious injury.
•
Never jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode. Let
the battery thaw out before charging.
•
NEVER jump start the telehandler when travel select
lever is in gear, which can cause the telehandler to lurch
forward or backward, and could result in death, serious
injury, or property damage.
•
To avoid injury or death when jump starting with
another telehandler, make sure the two (2) telehandlers
are not touching.
•
DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each
other.
Jump Starting
When performing inter-vehicle starting pro-
cedures, ensure booster vehicle gear selector
lever is in neutral (middle) position, parking
brake is applied, and wheel chocks are placed
under tires. Failure to comply may result in in-
jury or death to personnel.
Warning
When installing and removing the jump start-
ing cable, ensure loose ends of cable do not
come in contact between with any metal sur-
faces, or personnel. Failure to comply may re-
sult in injury or death to personnel.
