Jump Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure
could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could re-
sult in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
NOTE:
Make sure at all times that unused ends of
jumper cables are not contacting each other or
either vehicle while making connections.
Connecting The Jumper Cables

cable to the remote positive (+) post of the
discharged vehicle.

jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper
cable to the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post
of the vehicle with the discharged battery .
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the nega-
tive (-) post of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the bat-
tery to explode and could result in personal
injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts.

booster battery , let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then start the engine in the
