Lead connection order:
1. Connect the red lead to the
positive terminal (1) of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red
lead to the positive terminal (2) of
the discharged vehicle battery.
3. Connect the black lead to the
negative terminal (3) of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the other end of the black
lead to a vehicle grounding point
(4), such as the engine block or an
engine mounting bolt. Connect as
far away from the discharged
vehicle battery as possible,
however at least 60 cm.
Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.

2. After five minutes, start the other
engine. Start attempts should be
made for no longer than
15 seconds at an interval of

approx. 3 minutes with the leads
connected.
4. Switch on electrical consumers
(e.g. headlights, heated rear
window) of the vehicle receiving
the jump start.
