4.10 Battery Jump Start Procedure
Occasionally, it may be necessary to jump start a weak battery. If jump starting is
necessary, the following procedure is recommended to prevent starter damage,
battery damage, and personal injuries.
Jump starting a battery incorrectly can cause battery to explode, resulting in severe
personal injury or death. Do not smoke or allow ignition sources near the battery,
and do not jump start a frozen battery.
Electrical arcing can cause severe personal injury. Do not allow positive and
negative cable ends to touch.
1. Disconnect engine load.
2. Use a battery of the same voltage (12V) as is used with your engine.
3. Attach one end of the positive booster cable (red) to the positive (+) terminal of
the booster battery. Attach the other end to the positive terminal of your engine
battery.
4. Attach one end of the negative booster cable (black) to the negative (–)
terminal of the booster battery. Attach other end of negative cable to a solid
chassis ground on your engine.
NOTICE: Jump starting in any other manner may result in damage to the battery or
the electrical system.
5. Push down on the throttle foot pedal, turn the engine keyswitch and hold it until
the engine starts.
NOTICE: Cranking the engine for more than 5 seconds can cause starter damage.
If the engine fails to start, release the keyswitch and wait 10 seconds before
operating the starter again.
NOTICE: When using lights or high amperage draw accessories, idle the engine
for a period of 20 minutes to bring the battery to charge state.
