CAUTION!

Failure to follow these procedures could result in

or the discharged vehicle.

Connecting The Jumper Cables

1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the

remote positive (+) post of the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.

2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper

cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

3. Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable to the

negative (-) post of the booster battery.

4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper

cable to the remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with

Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-)
post of the discharged battery. The resulting electri-
cal spark could cause the battery to explode and
could result in personal injury. Only use the specific
ground point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.

5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster

battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged
