Jump starting
Check that cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of negative circuit. Note the position
of the battery terminals and using jumper cables, first connect booster battery positive (+) terminal (1) to
car battery positive (+) terminal (2). Then connect booster battery negative (-) terminal (3) to a
stationary solid metal part on the engine at a point away from the battery (4).
Do not connect booster cable to any part of fuel system or any moving parts. Avoid touching hot
manifolds. After engine has started, remove first the negative (-) terminal jumper cable. Then remove
the positive (+) terminal jumper cable.
