Got my MEP-803 in today!

Mine had the can adapter and hose but was missing the pickup tube. I threaded a piece of 3/8" aluminum tube 1/4" NPT to fit the adapter thread. I don't foresee ever using it. I keep a pump with nozzle in one barrel to fill my tractors. The MEP runs so long on a tank of fuel I just use my barrel pump to top it up when needed.

I also got the plastic lug wrench and a couple sections of grounding rod. AND a ziplock bag full of water that had the last maintenance records in it. Hard to believe that enough condensation could build up to FILL a bag full of water. I was able to dry the documents out and they were still readable.

Cut a few inches off the lug wrench and it is actually usable.

Also have the ground rods and ground wire and lug wrench. Don’t think this thing ever saw any use the battery lugs were wrapped up and never had marks anywhere

Some of those items are self explanatory, but would you mind elaborating what the individual parts are like say left to right?

I voted for T but if B wins guess we will be changing these tool names at some point. Just kidding a lot of crap out there.
Enjoy your new machine. Wonder how long it will be before it hatches another green machine.

Allows you to parallel 2 sets

Forgive my ignorance, but in another post about a fella choosing the right unit Light in the Dark made it very clear that the 802/803 units didn't have the smarts to be able to be paralleled, only the larger units could do that trick.

No.

The adapters allow one to use an OLD type Slave Cable, (jumper cable) to be used with the NEW type Slave Cable connections, when jumping one set with dead battery's, from another source of 24 volts. Truck, gen set and so one. The Slave Cables were redesigned due to safety problems and the fact that they were simply a crappy design. ALL NATO country's have this new NATO connection/cable. So any NATO country can jump off any other NATO equipment with dead battery's.

Thats what i was talking about.

Bad habbit due to work, we are not allowed to jump start equipment, we can parallel start assist though (same damn thing, but to some corporate lawyer it isnt).


My apologies if it seemed deceptive
