CONNECTING BOOSTER/JUMPER CABLES
Before attempting to jump start, attach booster cables to
the air compressor and make sure of the following:
Make sure booster cables are of adequate size to match
current capacity of battery.
Source battery (working battery) should be of equal
voltage and amperage as battery being jumped.
When attaching booster cable clamps, make sure clamps
are attached firmly to battery posts. This will prevent
arcing.
Never allow the positive and negative booster cables to
make contact when connected to a live battery.
When connecting the booster cable with the
BLACK
clamp to the air compressor's ground point, the ground
point should be at least 1 ft. (305 mm) away from the
battery.
The following steps outline the procedure for
connecting
booster cables to the air compressor's battery.
1. Connect one end of the booster cable with the
RED
clamp (Figure 59) to the positive terminal on the air
compressor's battery.
Figure 59. Connecting Booster Cables
2. Connect the other end of the booster cable with the
RED
clamp to the positive terminal on the source
battery (working good battery).
3. Connect one end of the booster cable with the
BLACK
clamp to the negative terminal on the source battery.

REMOVAL OF BOOSTER/JUMPER CABLES
The following steps outline the procedure for
removing
booster cables from the air compressor's battery.
1. Remove the booster cable with the
BLACK
clamp
(Figure 60) from the negative ground point (chassis
ground/frame) on the air compressor.

clamp from the negative terminal on the source
battery.
3. Remove the booster cable with the
RED
clamp from
the positive terminal on the source battery.
4. Remove the other end of the booster cable with
the
RED
clamp from the positive terminal on the air
compressor.
