Jump Starting With An Auxiliary (Booster) Battery - Viking MT 880 Gebrauchsanleitung

Jump starting with an auxiliary (booster)
battery
Jump starting is not recommended. However, if it must be
done, follow these directions. Both booster and
discharged batteries should be treated carefully when
using jumper cables. Follow the steps below EXACTLY,
being careful not to cause sparks. Refer to the illustration.
1. Both batteries must be of the same voltage.
2. Position the vehicle with the booster battery adjacent
to the vehicle with the discharged battery so that
booster cables can be connected easily to the
batteries in both vehicles. Make certain vehicles do
not touch each other.
3. Wear safety glasses and shield eyes and face from
batteries at all times. Be sure vent caps are tight.
Place damp cloth over vent caps on both batteries.
4. Connect [+] positive cable to positive post of
discharged battery (wired to starter or solenoid).
5. Connect the other end of same cable to same post
marked [+] positive on booster battery.
6. Connect the second cable negative [-] to other post [-]
of booster battery.
7. Make final connection on engine block of stalled
vehicle away from battery. Do not lean over batteries.
8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster
battery.
Wait a few minutes, then attempt to start the engine of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
9. If the vehicle does not start after cranking for thirty
seconds, STOP PROCEDURE. More than thirty
seconds seldom starts the engine unless some
mechanical adjustment is made.
10.After starting, allow the engine to return to idle speed.
Remove the cable connection at the engine or frame.
Then remove the other end of the same cable from
the booster battery.
11.Remove the other cable by disconnecting at the
discharged battery first and then disconnect the
opposite end from the booster battery.
12.Discard the damp cloths that were placed over the
battery vent caps.
Any procedure other than the preceding could
result in:
(1) personal injury or property damage due to battery
explosion,
(2) damage to the charging system of the booster
vehicle or of the immobilized vehicle.
For your personal safety, use extreme care
when jump starting. Never expose battery to
open flame or electric spark – battery action
generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Do not allow battery acid to contact skin,
eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. Batteries contain a
sulfuric acid solution which can cause serious personal
injury or property damage.
When removing or installing battery cables, disconnect
the negative cable FIRST and reconnect it LAST. If not
done in this order, the positive terminal can be shorted to
the frame
by a tool.
To avoid engine damage, do not disconnect battery while
engine is running. Be sure terminal connections are tight
before starting.
