Auxiliary starting receptacleSome Caterpillar machines may be equipped with auxiliary starting receptacles. All other machines can be equipped with a receptacle from parts service. A permanent receptacle is always available for jump starting.There are two cable assemblies that can be used to jump start the stalled machine. You can jump start the stalled machine from another machine that is equipped with an auxiliary starting receptacle or with an auxiliary power pack. Your Caterpillar dealer can provide the correct cable lengths for your application.
Determine the reason that the engine will not start. Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS7768 for more information on using the 6V-2150 Starting/Charging Analyzer. Use this procedure even if the machine does not have a diagnostic connector.
Lower the work tool to the ground.
On a stalled machine, turn the start switch key to the OFF position. The brakes are applied automatically. Turn off the accessories.
On a stalled machine, be sure that the battery disconnect switch is in the ON position.
Move the machine that is being used as a power source close to the stalled machine. The jump start cables should reach the batteries on both machines. DO NOT ALLOW THE MACHINES TO CONTACT EACH OTHER.
Open the hood behind the cab in order to access the auxiliary starting receptacle. Stop the engine on the machine that is the electrical source. (If you are using an auxiliary power source, turn off the charging system.)
Connect the appropriate jump start cable to the auxiliary starting receptacle on the stalled machine.
Connect the other end of the jump start cable to the auxiliary starting receptacle of the machine that is being used as a power source.
Start the engine on the machine that is being used as a power source or energize the charging system on the auxiliary power source.
Allow the machine that is being used as a power source to charge the batteries for two minutes.
Attempt to start the stalled engine.Reference: For more information, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Starting".
Immediately after the stalled engine starts, disconnect the jump start cable from the power source.
Disconnect the other end of the jump start cable from the stalled machine.
Conclude the failure analysis on the starting charging system of the stalled machine, as required. Check the machine while the engine is running and the charging system is in operation.
