Starting the engine

Never use start spray

WARNING! Never use start spray or similar prod-

ucts as a starting aid. Explosions could occur in

the inlet manifold. The consequence could be

personal injury.

Starting with auxiliary batteries

WARNING! Batteries (especially auxiliary batter-

ies) contain hydrogen which is highly explosive

in contact with air. A spark, which can be formed

if the auxiliary batteries are wrongly connected,

is enough to make a battery explode and cause

damage.

1. Check that the auxiliary batteries are connected

(series or parallel) so that the rated voltage corre-

sponds to the engine system voltage.

2. First connect the red (+) jumper cable to the auxil-

iary battery, then to the flat battery. Then connect

the black jumper cable (–) to the auxiliary battery,

and lastly to a place some distance from the flat

batteries, such as the negative cable by the main

switch or the negative cable connection on the

starter motor.

3. Start the engine.

WARNING! Do not move the connections when

you attempt to start the engine (risk of arcing),

and do not stand and lean over one of the batter-

ies.

4. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order

from installation.

WARNING! The ordinary cables to the standard

batteries must not be loosened on any condition.
