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. 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.
2. 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 vehicle
3. Connect the jumper cables in the order described below;
• Connect one red clamp of the jumper cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the discharged battery
• Connect other end of the red clamp to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery
• Connect one black clamp of the jumper cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
• Connect the other end of the black clamp to the negative (-)
terminal of the discharged battery
• Crank the engine for starting
• Once the vehicle gets started, carefully remove the jumper
cables in the reverse order of attachment
