KIT- 3156670 - Caterpillar

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.Turn on (close) the battery disconnect switch prior to the boost connection to prevent damage to electrical components on the stalled machine.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 will damage the electrical system.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.Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS7633, "Battery Test Procedure" for complete testing and charging information. This publication is available from your Cat dealer.
Some products may be equipped with auxiliary start receptacles as a standard part. All other machines can be equipped with a receptacle from parts service. Then, a permanent receptacle is always available for jump starting.Two cable assemblies are also available in order to jump-start the stalled machine from another machine that is also equipped with this receptacle or with an auxiliary power pack. Your Cat dealer can provide the correct cables for your application.
Make the initial determination of the machine's failure to crank.
Move the transmission of the stalled machine into the STOP position. Engage the parking brake. Lower all attachments to the ground.
Turn the engine start switch on the stalled machine to the OFF position. Turn off all accessories.
Turn on the battery disconnect switch on the stalled machine.
Move the machine that is being used as a power source so that the jump-start cables can reach the stalled machine. DO NOT ALLOW THE MACHINES TO CONTACT EACH OTHER.
Stop the engine on the machine that is being used as a power source. If you are using an auxiliary power source, turn off the charging system.

Auxiliary start receptacle
On the stalled machine, connect the appropriate jump-start cable to the auxiliary start receptacle.
Connect the other end of the jump-start cable to the auxiliary start receptacle that is on the power source.
Start the engine on the machine that is being used as a power source. If you are using an auxiliary power source, energize the charging system on the auxiliary power source.
Wait for a minimum of 2 minutes while the batteries in the stalled machine partially charge.
Attempt to start the stalled engine. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Starting".
Immediately after you start the stalled engine, disconnect the jump-start cable from the machine that is being used as a power source.
Disconnect the other end of the jump-start cable from the stalled machine.
When the engine is running and the charging system is in operation, conclude the failure analysis on the starting charging system of the stalled machine, as required.
