DANGER 

Jump starting a weak battery that is cracked, 
frozen, has low electrolyte level, or an 
open/shorted battery cell, can cause an 
explosion resulting in serious personal injury. 

Do Not jump start a weak battery if these 
conditions exist. 

2.  Make sure the booster is a good and fully 

charged lead acid battery at 12.6 volts or 
greater.  Use properly sized jumper cables (4 to 
6 AWG) with short lengths to reduce voltage 
drop between systems.  Make sure the cables 
are color coded or labeled for the correct 
polarity.

 

    

CAUTION 

Connecting the jumper cables incorrectly 
(wrong polarity) can immediately damage the 
electrical system. 

Be certain of battery terminal polarity and 
jumper cable polarity when hooking up 
batteries. 

NOTE:

  The following instructions are adapted from 

the SAE J1494 Rev. Dec. 2001 

– Battery Booster 

Cables 

– Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice 

(SAE 

– Society of Automotive Engineers). 

   

WARNING

 

Batteries contain acid and produce explosive 
gasses.   

1. 

Shield the eyes and face from the batteries 
at all times.

 

2. 

Do Not lean over the batteries.

 

NOTE:

  Be sure the vent caps are tight and level.  

Place a damp cloth, if available, over any vent caps 
on both batteries.  Be sure the vehicles do not 
touch and that both electrical systems are off and at 

the same rated system voltage.  These instructions 
are for negative ground systems only. 

3.   Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive 

(+) terminal of the discharged battery.  

4.  Connect the other end of the positive cable to 

the positive terminal of the booster battery. 

5.  Connect the black negative (-) cable to the 

other terminal (negative) of the booster battery. 

6.  MAKE THE FINAL CONNECTION ON THE 

ENGINE BLOCK OF THE STALLED VEHICLE 
(NOT TO THE NEGATIVE POST) AWAY 
FROM THE BATTERY.  STAND BACK. 

7.  Start the vehicle and remove the cables in the 

reverse order of connection (the engine block 
(black) connection is the first to disconnect). 

RAISE THE CUSHION FOR REAR ACCESS 
Service Interval:  As required 

The cushion can be raised for rear access to the 
machine for maintenance or adjustment. 
1.  Lower the platform. 
2.  Raise the cushion.  
3.  Perform any maintenance or adjustment on the 

machine. 

REMOVE REAR COVER BELOW LEG 
CUSHION 

1.  Raise the leg cushion 
2.  Remove the two, three pronged knobs 
3.  Remove the cover.
