3.10 JUMP-STARTING BATTERY
WARNING! Always wear an acid-resistant apron, face shield with goggles and gloves when working with batteries!
Batteries may contain hydrogen gas which is explosive and ammable! Keep ames, sparks and any other
source of ignition away. Batteries also contain acid which is corrosive and poisonous. DO NOT allow battery
acid to contact eyes, skin, or fabrics. Serious personal injury or property damage could result! Flush any
contacted areas thoroughly with water immediately and seek medical attention.
NOTE! The following instructions are for single battery 12 VDC starting systems only. Make sure both compressor
and starting vehicle have the ignition “OFF” before connecting the jumper cables.
1. Remove all vent caps from the battery or batteries in the compressor. Do not permit dirt or foreign
matter to enter the open cells.
CAUTION! Remove vent caps on dead battery if the battery is a maintenance type and add distilled water if
needed. This is not required if the battery is a maintenance-free type that is sealed.
