JUMP STARTING
If the battery is dead, the engine can be started with
jumper cables from another vehicle’s battery.
WARNING!
A battery will produce hydrogen gas, which is
flammable and very explosive. Avoid open flames
and the formation of sparks in the vicinity of the
batteries. Refrain from smoking or cell phone use.
Avoid improper connection of jumper cables.
Observe safety precautions when handling
batteries.
Exercise care near moving engine components and
electrical cables.
Failure to follow these directions will cause
damage to the electronic components and can lead
to a battery explosion and severe injury or death.
WARNING!
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow
this fluid to come in contact with eyes, skin or
clothing. In case it does, immediately flush affect-
ed area with water, and seek medical help.
The battery housing could be damaged. Never
lean over batteries while connecting or jump-
starting. You might get injured.
Read all instructions before proceeding.
