necessary for the engine to get warm.
CAUTION: If the ambient
temperature is less than 40° F (4°
C), you must let the engine operate
1 minute at idle speed before you

To start the engine when the battery is
weak
WARNING:
Lead-acid batteries can
make explosive gases. Keep sparks,
flames and smoking materials away from
batteries. Always wear eye protection
when around batteries.
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it must
be charged.
If the jumper cables are used for emergency starting,
follow the procedures below:
1. Connect one end of the RED cable to the
POSITIVE (+) terminal of each battery (B-C).
CAUTION: Be careful that a
short circuit does not occur against
the chassis of the product.
2. Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the
NEGATIVE (-) terminal (D) of a fully charged
battery.
3. Connect the other end of the BLACK cable (A)
to good chassis ground, away from the fuel tank
and battery.
To remove the jumper cables
Note:
Remove the jumper cables in the opposite
sequence to how you connect them.
1. Remove the BLACK cable from the chassis.
2. Remove the BLACK cable from the fully charged
battery.
3. Remove the RED cable from the 2 batteries.
