OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS F106.6 / F106.6A / F156.6 / F156.6A Assisted starting (with jumper cables)
10000264-en
Prior to assisted starting Read and observe the section:
Explosion hazard
"Assisted starting, safety instructions".
When the negative terminal is connected to ground, a strong current flows through the jumper cables. Sparks produced in the contact area may ignite gases escaping from the discharged battery.
• Switch off all consumers at the receiving machine (empty batteries) and switch the key-switch to 0.
The negative terminal must therefore be connected to ground as far away from the discharged batteries as possible.
• Switch off all consumers at the supplying machine (charged batteries) and switch off the engine.
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must not get into contact with each other. The jumper cable attached to the positive pole of the battery must moreover not get into contact with conducting parts of the machine:
• The capacity of the supplying batteries must not be essentially smaller than that of the discharged battery.
A discharged battery can freeze in already at –10 °C. Before connecting the jumper cable, it is absolutely necessary to defreeze the battery. There is otherwise a risk of explosion.
Risk of short-circuit. Do not lean over the batteries:
Risk of injury from caustic agents.
Connecting the jumper cables • Connect the red jumper cable to the positive pole of the empty battery (1, Fig. 1), then to the positive pole of the charged battery (2). • Connect the black jumper cable first to the negative pole of the charged battery (3), then to a bare-metal part of the machine (4).
