near. Use only standardized jumper
cables and do not smoke or light a match
upon jump starting.
NOTICE

Jump starting procedure
1.
If the booster battery is installed in
another vehicle, make sure the vehicles
are not touching. Turn off all
unnecessary lights and accessories.
2.
If necessary, remove all the plugs of
the battery for charging and discharged
battery, and cover a cloth on the
openings of the battery. This can help
reduce explosion possibility and injury
to people.
3.
If the engine in the vehicle with the
booster battery is not running, start it
and let it run for a few minutes. During
jump starting, run the accelerator pedal
by lightly pressing it at the running
speed of 2,000 rpm.
4.

of a, b, c, and d.

b. Connect the clamp at the other end of the

terminal (+) on the booster battery.
c. Connect the clamp of the negative (black)
jumper cable to the negative terminal (-) on
the booster battery.
d. Connect the clamp at the other end of the
negative (block) jumper cable to a solid,
