5.10 Battery Jump Start Procedure
Occasionally, it may be necessary to jump start a weak battery. If jump
starting is necessary, the following procedure is recommended to
prevent starter damage, battery damage, and personal injuries.
Jump starting a battery incorrectly can cause battery to explode,
resulting in severe personal injury or death. Do not smoke or allow
ignition sources near the battery, and do not jump start a frozen
battery.
Electrical arcing can cause severe personal injury. Do not allow
positive and negative cable ends to touch.
5.10.1 Disconnect engine load.
5.10.2 Use a battery of the same voltage (12V) as is used with your engine.
5.10.3 Attach one end of the positive booster cable (red) to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery. Attach the other end to the positive
terminal of your engine battery.
5.10.4 Attach one end of the negative booster cable (black) to the negative
5.10.5 (–) terminal of the booster battery. Attach other end of negative cable
to a solid chassis ground on your engine.
NOTICE : Jump starting in any other manner may result in damage to
the battery or the electrical system.
5.10.6 Push down on the throttle foot pedal, turn the engine keyswitch and
hold it until the engine starts.
NOTICE : Cranking the engine for more than 5 seconds can cause
starter damage. If the engine fails to start, release the keyswitch and
wait 10 seconds before operating the starter again.
NOTICE : When using lights or high amperage draw accessories, idle
the engine for a period of 20 minutes to bring the battery to charge
state.
