system, then open the hood.

vehicle's 12-volt battery + terminal.

cable to the booster battery + terminal.

u

Use a 12-volt booster battery only.

When using an automotive battery

select a lower charging voltage than 15-
volt. Check the charger manual for the
proper setting.

to any other part.

turns over slowly, check that the jumper
cables have good metal-to-metal contact.

Jump Starting Procedure

Jump Starting

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be
careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the
cable ends to touch each other while attaching or
detaching the jumper cables.

12-volt battery performance degrades in cold
conditions and may prevent the engine from starting.

WARNING

A 12-volt battery can explode if you do not
follow the correct procedure, seriously
injuring anyone nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking
materials away from the 12-volt battery.
