TM 5-3895-383-10 Operation Section 4-33 Engine Starting 7.   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. 8.   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. NOTE:  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. 9.   Connect the positive jump start cable to the positive terminal of the boost source. Use the procedure from Step 8 in order to determine the correct terminal. 10.  Connect one end of the negative jump start cable to the negative terminal of the electrical source. 11.  Make the final connection. Connect the negative cable to the frame of the stalled machine. Make this connection away from the battery, the fuel, the hydraulic lines, or moving parts. 12.  Start the engine on the boost machine. If you are using an auxiliary power source, energize the charging system on the auxiliary power source. 13.  Wait for a minimum of two minutes while the batteries in the stalled machine partially charge. 14.  Attempt to start the stalled engine. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Engine Starting". 15.  Immediately after you start the stalled engine, disconnect the jump start cable from the BOOST SOURCE. 16.  Disconnect the other end of this cable from the stalled machine. 17.  When the engine is running and the charging system is operating, determine the cause of the failure of the charging system of the stalled machine. Starting with Auxiliary Start Receptacle SMCS Code:  1000; 7000 Some products may be equipped with auxiliary starting 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 Caterpillar dealer can provide the correct cables for your application. 1.   Make the initial determination of the machine's failure to crank. Refer to Spec.ial Instruction, SEHS7768, "Use of 6V-150 Starting Charging Analyzer Group". The procedure is applicable even if the machine does not have a diagnostic connector. 2.   Move the transmission of the stalled machine into neutral. Engage the parking brake. Lower the attachment to the ground. Move all controls to the HOLD position. 3.   Turn the engine start switch on the stalled machine to the OFF position. Turn off all accessories. 4.   Turn on the battery disconnect switch on the stalled machine. 5.   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. 6.   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. 7.   On the stalled machine, connect the appropriate jump start cable to the auxiliary starting receptacle. 8.   Connect the other end of the jump start cable to the auxiliary starting receptacle that is on the power source. 9.   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.
