Set
parking brake and place automatic
transmission
in "Park"
(neutral for manual
transmission).
Turn off lights, heater and
other
electrical
loads.
Observe charge indicator. If indicator is
light or yellow replace battery.
Caution:
Do Not
attempt
jump starting when Indicator Is
light or yellow. If charge indicator is dark and has a
green dot In the center, failure to start is not due to a
discharged
battery and cranking system should be
checked.
If charge indicator Is dark or red bail appears In
center,
proceed as follows:
1. Attach one jumper cable to positive terminal of booster
battery and the other end of the same cable to positive
terminal of the
discharged
battery.
Warning: do not permit vehicles to touch each other
as
this could establish a ground connection and
counteract
benefit of this procedure.
Connect
one end of the other jumper
cable
to Negative (-)
Post
of booster battery. Connect the other end of the
jumper cable to a good ground on the vehicle
with
the
discharged
battery.
Make
sure
a good connection is made,
free of
dirt
and grease.
Warning: Do not connect the cable to the negative
post
of the discharge battery.
Take
care
that
clamps
from
one cable do not inadvertently
touch
clamps
from
the other cable. Do not lean over the
battery when making
connection.
The negative connection
must
provide good electrical conductivity and current
carrying
capacity.
Warning: During raid weather when temperatures are
below freezing point, electrolyte In a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not
attempt
Jump starting
because
the battery could rupture or explode. The
battery temperature must be brought up above
freezing point before
attempting
jump start.
