Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive
(+)
end of the jumper cable to the positive
(+)
post of the
discharged vehicle.
NOTE:
Do not jump off fuses. Only jump directly off positive post.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive
(+)
jumper cable to the positive
(+)
post
of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative
(-)
end of the jumper cable to the negative
(-)
post of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative
(-)
jumper cable to a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and
the fuel injection system.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative
(-)
post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result
in personal injury. Only use the specific ground point, do not use any other exposed
metal parts.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
CAUTION!
Do not connect jumper cable to any of the fuses on the positive battery terminal.
The resulting electrical current will blow the fuse.
6. Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative
(-)
end of the jumper cable from the engine ground of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative
(-)
jumper cable from the negative
(-)
post of the booster battery.
