What happens here

To address the excavator's starting issue, various jump-starting techniques are employed. First, a heavy-duty battery charger (Speedway brand) is connected to the excavator's batteries. Additionally, a running Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty pickup truck is used to supply auxiliary power by connecting its battery via jumper cables to the excavator's electrical system, specifically bypassing the main batteries and connecting directly to the starter. Fluid levels, including oil, are also checked in preparation for starting.

Goal: Provide sufficient power to start the excavator's engine.

Tools and materials

  • Excavator Kobelco SK160LC — The equipment to be started
  • Heavy-Duty Battery Charger Speedway — Providing a continuous charge or boost
  • Jumper Cables — Connecting the auxiliary power source to the excavator
  • Pickup Truck Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty — Providing a live battery for jump-starting
  • Engine Oil — Checking and topping off engine lubrication
  • Fuel Diesel — Ensuring the fuel tank is not empty
