Step 2.
Connect the opposite end of the positive jumper cable to the strong, booster battery’s positive
terminal.
Step 3.
Connect one end of the negative jumper cable to the strong, booster battery’s negative terminal.
(Fig.

)
Step 4.
Finally, connect the opposite end of the negative jumper cable to a safe ground on the uncharged
vehicle.
Step 5.
Start the disabled motorcycle.
Step 6.
Quickly but safely remove the cables in the reverse order that they were applied; namely a
sequence of steps 4, then 3, then 2, then 1.
THE RECOMMENDED SAFE GROUND ON THE DISCHARGED BATTERY'S VEHICLE IS THE ENGINE CASE BOLT.
• NEVER CONNECT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE NEGATIVE CABLE TO THE DISCHARGED BATTERY'S NEGATIVE
TERMINAL. A SPARK IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE BATTERY COULD RESULT, CAUSING AN EXPLOSION.
• NEVER CONNECT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE NEGATIVE CABLE NEAR THE BATTERY VENT TUBE.
HYDROGEN GASES PRESENT MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION FROM A RESULTING SPARK.
CAUTION:
Connecting the opposite end of the negative jumper cable to or near painted, chrome plated, or polished
surfaces could cause permanent charring or discoloration.
