Emergency starting
Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid
harm to yourself or damage to your
vehicle or battery, follow the jump
starting procedures. If in doubt, we
strongly recommend that you have
a competent technician or towing
service jump start your vehicle.
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12-volt starting
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair by use
of a 24- volt power supply (either
two 12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt motor generator set).
Battery
Never attempt to check the electro
-
lyte level of the battery as this may
cause the battery to rupture or
explode causing serious injury.
Battery
䳜 Keep all flames or sparks away
from the battery. The battery
produces hydrogen gas which
may explode if exposed to flame
or sparks. If these instructions are
not followed exactly, serious per
-
sonal injury and damage to the
vehicle may occur! If you are not
sure how to follow this procedure,
seek qualified assistance. Auto
-
mobile batteries contain sulfuric
acid. This is poisonous and highly
corrosive. When jump starting,
wear protective glasses and be
careful not to get acid on your
-
self, your clothing or on the vehi
-
cle.
䳜 Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery is
frozen or if the electrolyte level is
low; the battery may rupture or
explode.
䳜 Do not allow the (+) and (-)
jumper cables to touch. It may
cause sparks.
