Welding
For welding on the vehicle and/or superstructure, see the "Workshop manual" and
"Bodybuilders Guidelines".
Not following the welding instructions can cause damage to the electronic
components.
Starting with auxiliary batteries
The engine may be started with the aid of jump leads using the power from separate
auxiliary batteries (approx. 24 V) or from another vehicle with the engine running
(approx. 28 V). When this starting procedure is followed, the battery leads
must not be disconnected. Connect the jump leads first to the positive terminal (+)
and then to the negative terminal (–). To disconnect, first release the negative
terminal (–) and then the positive terminal (+).
In the event that the batteries are fully discharged and the engine is running, it is
important that the jump leads are not immediately disconnected. The engine must
be allowed to run for at least 2 to 3 minutes before the jump leads are disconnected
to prevent damage to the electrical system (peak voltage!).
Proceed as follows as soon as the engine starts running:
- switch on as many power consumers as possible (for example: headlights, fog
lamps, heater fan, etc.);
- remove the jump leads after the engine has run for 2 to 3 minutes;
- switch off the consumers again.
Never start the engine using a fast charger!
