Charging The Flat Battery
1. Check that the jumper leads are properly connected. Ensure that
the jumper leads are not in contact with any rotating parts in the
engine compartment.
2. Start up the working vehicle and allow the engine to run for a few
minutes.
3. Start the engine of the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
STARTING THE IGNITION OF THE
DISCHARGED VEHICLE SHOULD NOT TAKE
LONGER THAN 15 SECONDS FOR EACH ATTEMPT.
IF THE DISCHARGED VEHICLE DOES NOT START
UP ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT, WAIT AT LEAST 1
MINUTE BEFORE TRYING AGAIN.
Note:
If you cannot start the discharged vehicle after several
attempts, contact a garage or qualified mechanic.
4. Once the discharged vehicle has started up, let the engine idle;
this will continue charging up the flat battery. Do not shut off the
discharged vehicle as it may not start up again.
Removing The Jumper Lead Clamps
The jumper leads should be removed in reverse connection order.
Leave the vehicles running, but be very careful when removing the
clamps as the circuit is still live.
1. Remove the black (-) clamp
from the discharged vehicle.
2. Detach the black (-) clamp
from the ground of the
working vehicle.
3. Disconnect the red (+) clamp
from the positive terminal of
the working vehicle.
4. Finally, remove the red (+)
clamp from the positive
terminal of the discharged
vehicle.
5. Drive the discharged vehicle around for 30-40 minutes to recharge
the flat battery.
Note:
Unless the cause of the flat battery is known (for example
the lights were left on), the battery and electrical system should be
checked by a suitably qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
