WARNING!

Jump starting can be dangerous. To avoid personal
injury or damage to electrical components in vehicle,
observe the following warnings:

• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn

or even blind you. Don’t allow battery fluid to contact
your eyes, skin, or clothing. Don’t lean over a battery

when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on
skin, flush the area immediately with large amounts of
water.

• Do not use a booster battery or any other booster

source that has a greater than 12–volt system, i.e., do
not use a 24–volt power source.

• Never attempt to jump start a discharged battery that

is frozen, because it could rupture or explode during
jump starting.

• Be sure your vehicle is not touching the jump start

vehicle.

• Observe all Battery Warnings in Section 7 of this

manual, while jump starting your vehicle.
