Slave start only with a 24-volt battery source.
Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled
machine. Otherwise, the lights and accessories
operate when the slave source is connected.
When starting from another machine, make sure
the machines do not touch to prevent damage to
engine bearings and electrical circuits.
Severely
discharged
maintenance-free
batteries
do not fully recharge from the alternator alone
after
slave
starting.

charged to the proper voltage with a battery
charger. Many batteries thought to be unusable
are still rechargeable.
NOTICE
This machine has a 24-volt starting system. Use only
equal voltage for slave starting. Use of a higher voltage
will damage the electrical system.
