STARTING THE ENGINE
Starting With A Boost
WARNING
When starting
from another machine,
make sure the machines do not touch.
This prevents sparks near the battery,
which could ignite the hydrogen gas given
off by the battery, causing the battery to
explode.
Always wear eye protection when starting
a machine with a boost.
To prevent possible personal injury, use
care when removing the cables from the
machine that has been started. Do not al-
low the cable ends to contact each other
or the machine.
Electrolyte is an acid and can cause per-
sonal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.
The machine to be started should be
parked on level ground with all equipment
lowered.
If this is not possible, the wheels must be
blocked securely, so that the machine
cannot move.
CAUTION
These machines have a 24 Volt starting
system. Use only the same voltage (24 Volt)
for boost starting. Use of a welder or higher
voltage will damage the electrical system.
