Using a Booster Battery (Jump-Starting)
Note: The machine may be equipped with the remote battery terminal, allowing
for easy access to booster terminals. See “Remote Battery Terminal” on
page 143.
Important: Only complete these steps if the loader cannot be started using the
ignition key switch. See “Engine Start” on page 67.
If the loader does not start because of a “dead” (discharged) battery, start the
loader using a battery jumper cable connected to the battery of another vehicle.
Important: The loader cannot be tow-started because no direct mechanical
connection exists between the wheels and the engine. Attempting to tow-start the
machine may damage the drive system.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery, or it may
explode. A discharged battery can freeze at
10°C (14°F).
Note: Before jump-starting, check that the battery disconnect switch is not turned
off.
The booster battery must have a nominal voltage of 12-volts. The capacity (Amp-
hour rating) of the booster battery must be approximately equal to that of the
discharged battery. Check the label on the discharged battery for the battery
capacity.
Keep metal parts on your clothing and metal
watchbands away from the positive (+) terminal
of the battery — risk of short circuit.
1. Turn the key switches of both machines to OFF. Be sure the machines are in
neutral and NOT touching each other.
2. Connect the positive jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on the dis-
charged battery.
3. Connect the negative jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal on the dis-
charged battery.
Note: If the machine is equipped with the optional remote battery terminal,
connect the cables to the terminal studs on the remote battery terminal. See
“Remote Battery Terminal” on page 143.
4. Connect the free end of the positive jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal
on the booster battery.
5. Connect the free end of the negative jumper cable to a convenient ground on
the machine carrying the booster battery.
6. Start the machine with the discharged battery. See “Engine Start” on page 67.
If the engine does not start immediately, stop cranking after 10 seconds and
repeat starting procedure after approximately 30 seconds.
