7. Check the battery caps for correct placement
and for correct tightness. Make these checks on
both machines. Make sure that the batteries in
the stalled machine are not frozen. Check the
batteries for low electrolyte.

NOTICE
Do not allow positive cable clamps to contact any
metal except for battery terminals.
Note: Some positive cables and some covers for
positive terminals are red for correct identification.
8. Connect the positive jump-start cable to the
posit
ive cable terminal of the discharged battery.
9. Batteries in series may be in separate
comp
artments. Use the terminal that is
connected to the starter solenoid. Trace this
cable in order to make sure that the cable is
connected to the starter.
10. Co
nnect the positive jump-start cable to the
po
sitive
te
rminal of the electrical source. Use the
procedure from Step 149 in order to determine
the correct terminal.
11. Con
nect one end of the negative jump-start
cabl
e to the negative terminal of the electrical
source.
12. Ma
ke the final connection. Connect the negative
cable
to the frame of the stalled machine. Make
this connection away from the battery, the fuel,
the hydraulic lines, or moving parts.
13. S
tart the engine on the machine that is the
elect
rical source. Also, you can energize the
charging system on the auxiliary power source.
14. Allow th
e elect
rical source to charge the
batteries for 2 minutes.
15. Attempt to start the stalled engine. Refer to
Operat
ion and Maintenance Manual, “Engine
Starting”. See the beginning of this topic. Allow
the electrical source to charge the batteries for 2
minutes.
16. I
mmediately after the stalled engine starts,
disconnect
the jump-start cables in reverse
order.
17. Co
nclude with a failure analysis on the starting
charging
system. Check the stalled machine, as
required. Check the machine when the engine is
running and the charging system is in operation.
