Operation
8. The engine oil pressure warning indicator light should go OFF
within five seconds after starting. If the light remains ON, turn the
ignition switch OFF immediately and check the oil level or change
to a lighter weight oil. Consult the engine manufacturer’s manual for
alternative oils for cold weather operation.
Jump starting at the batteries or battery replacement is required when the
batteries are discharged to the point where the batteries will not crank the
starter.
The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. The vehicle used for jump
starting must have a negative ground electrical system. To jump start the
vehicle, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
discharged battery.
2. Connect the other end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the posi-
tive (+) post of the booster battery.
3. Connect one end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the negative
(-) post of the booster battery.
4. Make the final cable connection to the furthest point from the batter-
ies.
5. Follow the steps in “Normal Starting” on page 58.
6. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of their connection
(i.e. negative cable ground connection first, etc.).
Jump Starting
WARNING:
NEVER jump start the vehicle directly to the
starter solenoid. Death or serious personal injury could result from
the vehicle lurching forward or backward and running over the per-
son attempting to jump start the vehicle directly to the starter.
WARNING:
To avoid death or serious personal injury when
jump starting with another vehicle, be certain that the two vehicles
are not touching. Never jump start a frozen battery as it will
explode. Keep sparks, flames and lighted smoking materials away
from the battery. Lead acid batteries generate explosive gases
when charging. Wear safety glasses when working near batteries.
