Check the physical condition of the battery. Inspect batteries for cracks, leaks or any other damage. If you find any of
these things, do not jump start the vehicle. Call Mahindra Road Side Assistance or replace the battery. If the weather
is very cold, remove the refill caps and check the condition of the electrolyte. If it seems slushy or like ice, do not
attempt jump-starting until it thaws.
1.
Park the working vehicle near the disabled vehicle. Park the vehicle in such a way that the distance between both
vehicle batteries is as small as practical. Turn off the engine, radio, lights, A/C, fans and all other electrical
components. Make sure that all of these things are OFF in the disabled vehicle, too
Don't let the vehicles touch each other.
2.
Wear safety gear (goggles or face guard and gloves) if you have it.
It may be necessary to remove the disabled vehicle’s battery cables from the battery terminals and clean both
cables and terminals. Use a stiff wire brush to remove all corrosion. Reconnect the cables to the battery terminals
and jump the vehicle.
3.
Untangle and unwind your jumper cables. Like your batteries, your jumper cables will probably have red and black
cables and will have heavy duty clamps to connect to the battery terminals. You must make sure that the red and
black ends of your jumper cables never touch each other once they are connected to the batteries; permitting
them to do so can result in serious arcing and/or damage to one or both vehicles
