JUMP STARTING

Location: The battery is located under the fuel tank / battery

box cover (A).

JUMP STARTING

Jump starting at the battery or battery replacement is required
when the battery is discharged to the point where the battery
will not crank the starter.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Batteries also contain other chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer.

Wash hands after handling.

WARNING

Never jump start the machine directly to the starter or the starter

solenoid. Serious injury or death could result from the machine
moving forward or backward.

WARNING

T o avoid personal injury when jump starting with another
machine, be certain that the machines are not touching. Never
jump start a frozen battery as it will explode. Keep sparks and
flames away from the battery. Lead acid batteries generate
explosive gases when charging. Wear safety glasses when
working near batteries.

A

The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. The machine used
for jump starting must have a negative ground electrical system.
T o jump start the machine, proceed as follows:

1 . Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive

(+) post of the discharged battery.

2. Connect the other end of the same jumper cable to the
positive (+) post of the booster battery.

3. Connect one end of the second jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the booster battery.

4 . Make the final cable connection to the engine block or

the furthest ground point away from the battery.

5. Start the engine.

6 . Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of their

connection (i.e. negative cable ground connection first, etc.)

GENERAL SAFETY

PROPER LOAD CHART USE

WARNING

NEVER raise a load and drive to position it. This can cause the

machine to turnover. When placing a load, always move a
loaded machine with the boom angle indicator (B) at 0 degrees
or less. When the machine is as close as possible to where the
load needs to be placed, set the parking brake, raise the load,
then place the load into position.

B

The load chart shows the operating limits of a properly
maintained and operated machine. To use the load chart the
operator must know the weight of the load and how far "out"
and "up" it is to be placed. If the load is heavier than stated on
the load chart, three options can be used:

1. Move the machine closer to the load so that the weight of
the load will fall within the load chart specifications.

2 . Divide the load into smaller pieces so that each piece falls

into load chart specifications.

3. Get a larger machine capable of handling the load within
specifications.
