1. Travel the jump-starting vehicle close enough to the machine so that
the battery jumper cables can reach to connect both batteries.
2. Let the engine of the jump-starting vehicle run.
3. First connect one end of the red battery jumper cable (+) to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery, then connect the other end to the
positive terminal of the starting battery.
4. Connect one end of the black battery jumper cable (−) to the negative
terminal of the starting battery.
5. Connect the other end of the black battery jumper cable (−) onto a solid
metal component fimly screwed on the engine block or onto the engine
block itself.
➥ Do not connect it to the negative terminal of the discharged battery,
as otherwise explosive gas emerging from the battery can ignite if
sparks are formed.
6. Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery (max. 15
seconds).
Once the engine has started:
1. With the engine running, disconnect both jump leads in exactly the
reverse order (first the – terminal, then the + terminal).
➥ This prevents sparking at the battery terminals.
