Correct jump starting . . .
16
1. Use the correct jump start cable for petrol engines and
diesel engines.
2. The capacity of the starter battery delivering current
(e.g. 45 Ah) must not be significantly less than that of
the discharged starter battery.
3. Only batteries of the same nominal voltage (e.g. 12 V)
can be connected together using the jump leads.
4. No bodywork contact must exist or be set up between
the vehicles.
5. Sources of ignition (e.g. open flame, burning cigars,
cigarettes or electric sparks) must be kept away from
the starter batteries (danger of explosion).
6. Keep distance from the starter batteries (danger of che-
mical burns). The electrolyte of the discharged wet bat-
tery is liquid even at sub-zero temperatures.
7. The discharged starter battery must not be disconnected
from its associated on-board electrical system during or
for a jump-start.
8. Switch off the vehicles’ ignitions before connecting the
jump-start cable. Handbrakes must be set. With manual
gearboxes, put the gear lever in the idle (disengaged)
position, and with automatic gearboxes put the selector
lever in the “P” position.
9. Lay the jump lead cables in such a way that the rota-
ting parts in the engine compartment cannot touch
them.
