(black)
terminal of the good
(charged) battery.
• Lastly, connect the other end of the
second jumper cable
to
a solid,
stationary, metallic point on the
engine of the vehicle with the
discharged battery
but
at a point
away from the battery -
18
inches
(450 mm) or more from the battery,
if
possible.
Do
not connect it
to
pulleys, fans or other parts that
move.
Beware
of touching hot
manifolds which can
cause
severe
burns.
(The
MOUNTING
BRACKETS for the Delcotron
generator, or the air conditioning
compressor, generally make a good
point
for
this
final
ground
attachment point. Take care that the
jumper cable does not contact
moving
parts on or near the generator
or compressor.)
6. Start the engine on the
vehicle
with the
good (charged) battery and run the
engine at a moderate speed.
7.
Start the engine of the vehicle that has
the discharged battery.
8. Remove the battery cables
by
reversing
the above sequence exactly.
Start
by
removing the last clamp first; that is,
remove the jumper cable from the
engine
of the
vehicle
with the
discharged battery
as
the first step.
ENGINE
COOLANT
Your cooling system may overheat during
severe
operating conditions. This may
occur when:
• climbing a long hill on a hot day;
• stopping after high speed driving;
• idling for long periods in traffic; or,
• towing a trailer.

If
the "HOT" light comes
on
(or, if you
have a temperature
gage,
the needle
goes
into the warning zone):
• Turn your air conditioner off
if
it
is
on.
• Put the transmission in "Neutral"
if
stopped in traffic.
If
the light doesn't
go
off (or the needle
doesn't start
to
drop) within a minute or
two:
• Pull over to a
safe
place and move your
shift
control
lever
to
''PARK''
("Neutral" with manual transmission).
Then put on your parking brake.
• DON'T TURN OFF
THE
ENGINE.
INCREASE THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED
until it sounds like it's going about twice
