Booster battery
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, make sure the
vehicles are not touching. Turn off all unnecessary lights and
accessories.
2. If required, remove all the vent plugs from the booster battery.
Lay a cloth over the open vents on the booster battery. (This helps
reduce the explosion hazard, personal injuries and burns.)
If the booster battery is an extended maintenance interval battery, it
is not necessary to remove the vent plugs.
3. If the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery is not running,
start it and let it run for about 5 minutes. During jump starting, run
the engine at about 2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal lightly
depressed.
4. Locate positive (+) and negative (−) terminals of each battery.
Connect the jumper cables in the exact order (

shown in the illustration.
1
Connect a positive (red) jumper cable clamp to the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery.
2
Connect the clamp at the other end of the positive (red) cable
to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.
3
Connect a negative (black) cable clamp to the negative (−)
terminal of the booster battery.
4
Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative (black) cable
to a solid, stationary, unpainted metallic point (e.g. engine
hanger) away from the battery. Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is cranked.
