MANIFOLD 2M5180 - 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 battery positive (+) to battery positive (+) and the battery negative (-) to battery 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.
When starting from another machine, make sure that the machines do not touch. This could prevent damage to engine bearings and electrical circuits.Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position prior to the boost connection in order to prevent damage to the electrical components on the machine that will not start.Severely discharged maintenance free batteries do not fully recharge from the alternator after jump starting. The batteries must be charged to the proper voltage with a battery charger. Many batteries thought to be unusable are still rechargeable.This machine has a 24 volt starting system. Use only the same voltage for jump starting. Use of a welder or higher voltage will damage the electrical system.Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS7633, "Battery Test Procedure" for complete testing and charging information.
Use of Jump Start Cables
Determine the reason for the engine's failure to start. Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS7768 for the 6V-2150 Starting Charging Analyzer. Use this procedure if the machine does not have a diagnostic connector.
Move the transmission control to the PARK position on the stalled machine. Lower all attachments to the ground. Move all controls to the HOLD position.
On a machine that will not start, turn the start switch key to the OFF position. Turn off the accessories.
On a machine that will not start, turn the battery disconnect switch to the ON position.
Move the machines together in order for the cables to reach. DO NOT ALLOW THE MACHINES TO CONTACT EACH OTHER.
Stop the engine on the machine that is the electrical source. When you use an auxiliary power source, turn off the charging system.

Check the battery caps for correct placement and for correct tightness. Make these checks on both machines. Make sure that the batteries in the stalled machine are not frozen. Check the batteries for low electrolyte.
Connect the positive jump start cable to the positive cable terminal of the discharged battery.Do not allow positive cable clamps to contact any metal except for battery terminals.
Batteries in series may be in separate compartments. Use the terminal that is connected to the starter solenoid. This battery is normally on the same side of the machine as the starter.
Connect the positive jump start cable to the positive terminal of the electrical source.
