BATTERY SETUP
WARNING — Shock hazards
Disconnect battery cables before inspecting
electrical system and never “spark” battery
terminals to test for charge.
CAUTION — Battery Safety
Use all safety precautions specified by the battery
manufacturer when working with the battery.
This saw was shipped with a wet charged battery (Figure
19). This battery may need to be charged for a brief period
of time as per the manufacturer instructions.
To install the battery on the saw, make sure that the battery
is properly clamped into the battery box. Connect the
positive cables to the positive terminals on the battery first,
then connect the negative cables to the negative terminals.
Figure 19. Battery and Battery Box
The 4030 uses two positive battery cables
and two negative battery cables. One set is
for engine start, and the other is for the raise/
lower pump assembly. Make sure that both
sets of cables are connected to the battery.
Also, LIMIT the cycling of the raise/lower
system on battery power only. Frequent
cycling will diminish the life of the battery.
