Engine Starting with Auxiliary Start (NATO Slave) Receptacle

58 TM5-2430-200-10 Operation Section Engine Starting Engine Starting with Auxiliary Start (NATO Slave) Receptacle 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. The batteries must be 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. 1. Refer to “Troubleshooting, Operational Troubleshooting, 1.
