English term or phrase: casualty machine
THE SLAVE AND CASUALTY MACHINE MUST NEVER COME INTO CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER.

Remove the protective cap (, Item 2) from the NATO IVSS (, Item 1) or alternative 2 pin IVSS (, Item 3) of the casualty machine and install the correct slave lead.

Disconnect the slave lead from the casualty machine and replace the protective caps.

le moteur en panne
Explanation:
the engine is the one being restarted;

The idea of connecting the whole vehicle with a tow bar makes little sense as far restarting the engine is concerned, although it might be another episode of the same saga - what to do if the engine won't start with the help of this cable.
