components have used so much power
that there is not enough to start the engine.
If the high current draw electrical
components, such as the cab heater,
refrigerator, coffee percolator, microwave
oven or tail-lift are used, it is recommended
that you obtain batteries of an adequate
higher capacity in consultation with your
dealer.
Welding
For welding on the vehicle and/or
superstructure, see the "Bodybuilders
Manual". Not following the welding
instructions can cause damage to the
electronic components.
Jump Starting Vehicles
How to Jump Start a Battery
Jump starting a vehicle is not a
recommended practice due to the various
battery installations and electrical options.
However, if the vehicle battery is
discharged (dead), the vehicle may start by
using energy from a good battery in
another vehicle. This is termed jump
starting.
WARNING
Batteries contain acid that can burn
and gases that can explode. Ignoring
safety procedures may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
WARNING
Never jump start a battery near fire,
flames, or electrical sparks. Batteries
generate explosive gases that could
explode. Keep sparks, flame, and
lighted cigarettes away from batteries.
Failure to comply may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
WARNING
Never remove or tamper with battery
caps. Ignoring this could allow battery
acid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or
painted surfaces. Failure to comply
may result in death, personal injury,
equipment or property damage Be
careful that metal tools (or any metal in
contact with the positive terminal) do
not contact the positive battery termi-
nal and any other metal on the vehicle
at the same time. Remove metal jew-
elry and avoid leaning over the battery.
WARNING
When jump starting using a battery
booster, it is best to jump start with an
equivalently powered vehicle. Verify
that the booster battery has the same
volt and cold cranking amperage spec-
ifications as the dead battery before
attempting to jump start. Failure to
comply may cause an explosion result-
ing in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage.
