4. Attach one end of a jumper cable to the dead battery’s
positive terminal. This will have a large red “+” or “P”
on the battery case, post, or clamp. Attach the other
end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the
good battery.
5. Attach the remaining jumper cable FIRST to the neg-
ative battery terminal (black “-” or “N”) of the good bat-
tery, and then to the chassis or ground of the vehicle
being jump started.
6. Start the engine in the vehicle with the good battery.
Let it run a few minutes. Then start the engine in the
vehicle with the dead battery.
If the engine fails to start,
do not continue to crank the starter but contact the near-
est Authorized Service Center.
WARNING! When disconnecting jumper cables,
make sure they do not get caught in any moving
parts in the engine compartment. Failure to
comply may result in death or personal injury.
7. Reverse the above sequence exactly when removing
the jumper cables. Take care that your first step is to
remove the cable from the chassis or ground of the
vehicle that was jump-started.
Removing and Installing Batteries
WARNING! Always reinstall the battery com-
partment cover (step) before entering the cab.
Without the battery cover you could slip and
fall, resulting in death or personal injury.
Whenever you have to install a battery or remove one, fol-
low these guidelines for the safety of yourself and the bat-
tery.
Ensure all switches on the vehicle are turned Off.
Disconnect the ground cable first when removing a
battery.
Connect the ground cable last when installing a bat-
tery.
Headlamp Adjustment
Follow the procedure below to adjust a headlamp. Vertical
adjustment is controlled via an access hole on the back-
side of the headlamp assembly and a 10mm socket.
Access to this adjuster knob is gained from inside the
fender well. The headlights have vertical adjustment only.
