A coolant, fuel or oil heater or extra battery capacity may be required.At temperatures below -23°C (-10°F), contact your Caterpillar dealer, or refer to the Cold Weather Recommendations Operation & Maintenance Guide, SEBU5898, available from your Caterpillar dealer.Starting with Jumper Cables
Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode.Prevent sparks near the batteries. They could cause vapors to explode. Do not allow jump 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 cables.Improper jump procedures can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury.Always connect battery positive (+) to battery positive (+) and battery negative (-) to battery negative (-).Jump only with a battery source and with the same voltage as the stalled machine.Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled machine. Otherwise, the lights and accessories operate when the jump source is connected.
When starting from another machine, make sure the machines do not touch. This could prevent damage to engine bearings and electrical circuits.Turn on (close) the disconnect switch prior to the boost connection to prevent damage to electrical components on the stalled machine.
Machines with Auxiliary Start Receptacles
Some Caterpillar products may be equipped with auxiliary start receptacles as standard. All other machines can be equipped with a parts service receptacle. A permanent receptacle is then always available for jump starting.Two mating cable assemblies are also available to jump the stalled machine from another machine also equipped with this receptacle or an
