Safety instructions for
the aluminium jump leads
The capacity of the starter battery that is pro-
viding the power, e.g. 45 A / h, (car B) must
not be significantly lower than the flat starter
battery (car A), if this is not the case it will not
be possible to start the vehicle. There is danger
of overheating.
Only connect batteries of the same nominal
voltage (12 or 24 volt) with the aluminium
jump leads. Otherwise there is danger of short
circuit, as well as danger of damaging the on-
board electronics and electrical components.
The bodies of the vehicles (cars A and B) must
not touch. Otherwise there is danger of short
circuit.
FIRE HAZARD! Keep ignition
sources (e.g. open flame, burning
cigars, cigarettes or electric sparks)
away from the starter batteries.
CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY! DAN-
GER OF EYE INJURIES! Do not bend over
the starter batteries. The electrolyte is also in a
liquid state at low temperatures and regardless
of the charge status.
The flat starter battery (car A) must not be sep-
arated from its corresponding power supply
network during the starting aid process.
The ignitions of the vehicles must be switched
off before thealuminium jump leads cable are
connected, and the parking brake must be en-
gaged. With manual gearboxes, put the gear
lever into the neutral position, with automatic
gearboxes put the gear selector into “P”.
Position the aluminium jump leads in such a
manner that they cannot be caught up in the
moving parts of the engine.

the same capacity. Compare the label information
on the batteries!
