COUPLING 7X1806 - Caterpillar

Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode resulting in personal injury.Prevent sparks near the batteries. They could cause vapors to explode. Do not allow the jump start cable ends to contact each other or the machine.Do not smoke when checking battery electrolyte levels.Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.Always wear eye protection when starting a machine with jump start cables.Improper jump start procedures can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury.Always connect the positive (+) to positive (+) and the negative (−) to negative (−).Jump start only with an energy source with the same voltage as the stalled machine.Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled machine. Otherwise, they will operate when the energy source is connected.
To prevent damage to engine bearings and to electrical circuits when you jump start a machine, do not allow the stalled machine to touch the machine that is used as the electrical source.Severely discharged maintenance free batteries do not fully recharge from the alternator after jump starting. The batteries must be charged to proper voltage with a battery charger. Many batteries thought to be unusable are still rechargeable.Use only equal voltage for starting. Check the battery and starter voltage rating of your machine. Use only the same voltage for jump starting. Use of a welder or higher voltage damages the electrical system. This machine has a 12 volt starting system. Use only the same voltage for jump starting.Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS7633, "Battery Test Procedure" available from your Caterpillar dealer, for complete testing and charging information.
Engage the parking brake. Lower the work tools to the ground.Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped".
Move all hydraulic controls to the NEUTRAL position.
Turn the engine start switch key to the OFF position and turn all accessory switches to the OFF position. Set the engine speed control knob to the low idle position.
Move the machine that is being used as an electrical source near the stalled machine so that the jump-start cables reach the stalled machine. Do not allow the machines to contact each other.
Stop the engine of the machine that is being used as an electrical source. If you are using an auxiliary power source, turn off the charging system.
Ensure that the battery in the stalled machine is not frozen.

Connect the positive jump-start cable to the positive terminal on the battery of the stalled machine.Do not allow the positive cable clamps to contact any metal except for the terminals.
Connect the other positive end of the jump-start cable to the positive cable terminal of the electrical source.
Connect one negative end of the jump-start cable to the negative cable terminal of the electrical source.
