1993 Volvo 960
CAUTION: Improper hook-up of jumper cables or use of other than 12-volt batteries could result in
damage to equipment and/or battery.
Check that cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of negative circuit. Note the position
of the battery terminals and using jumper cables, first connect booster battery positive (+) terminal (1) to
car battery positive (+) terminal (2). Then connect booster battery negative (-) terminal (3) to a
stationary solid metal part on the engine at a point away from the battery (4).
Do not connect booster cable to any part of fuel system or any moving parts. Avoid touching hot
manifolds. After engine has started, remove first the negative (-) terminal jumper cable. Then remove
the positive (+) terminal jumper cable.
WARNING!
To reduce the possibility of explosion, never expose battery to open flame or electric spark. Do not
smoke near battery. Batteries generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Battery fluid
contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If
contact occurs, flush affected area immediately with water.
Obtain medical attention immediately if eyes are affected.
WARNING!
Failure to follow the instructions of jump starting can lead to personal
injury.
