Pipe Thread Fittings

To install National Pipe Thread (NPT) fittings:

1. Apply sealant sparingly to male pipe threads only, avoiding the first few

threads at the end of the fitting.

Note:

Do not use Teflon tape or excessive amounts of sealant. System
contamination will result.

2. Install fitting and tighten per Table 3-8.

Jump Starting Procedures

CAUTION:

• Improper jump starting procedures can cause an explosion resulting in

personal injury.

• Sparks near batteries can cause explosions.

• Do not allow jump cable ends to touch each other or the machine.

• Battery acid can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.

Always wear eye protection when jump starting a machine.

• Always connect battery positive (+) to battery positive (+) and battery

negative (-) to ground on the machine. Make the final ground connec-
tion away from the battery.

• Allowing the two machines to touch during jump starting can cause

damage to bearings and electrical circuits.

• This machine has a 12 volt starting system. Use the same voltage (12

volts) for jump starting. Use of higher voltage can damage the electri-
cal system.

• Never charge a frozen battery.
