Service and Maintenance – cont’d
Jump Starting
Before jump starting the vehicle, be aware of the following:
WARNING: Hydrogen and Oxygen gases are produced during normal battery operation. This gas
mixture can explode if flames, sparks, or burning substances (cigarettes, etc.) are brought near the
battery. When charging or using batteries in an enclosed area (including the vehicle engine
compartment) always provide ventilation and shield your eyes. Keep children away from vehicle
batteries. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. In case of acid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing, flush immediately with clean water for a minimum of 15
minutes. If acid is accidentally swallowed, consult a physician immediately. Give the person large
quantities of milk or water, followed by milk of magnesia, a beaten egg, or vegetable oil.
WARNING: To avoid any possibility of injury, extreme care should be exercised when
connecting jumper cables to a discharged battery.
When the starter motor will not crank, or does so very slowly, connect a 12-volt booster battery,
following these instructions and precautions. Make the connections in the numerical order shown.
Disconnect the connections in the reverse order shown.
CAUTION: Do not allow the vehicles to touch.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the battery of the vehicle to be started. Doing so could damage the
operational vehicle’s electrical system while jump starting.
Note: Make connections in numerical order (disconnect in reverse order eg 4, 3, 2, 1).
1. Position the vehicles so the jumper cables will easily reach both batteries and the engine block of
the vehicle to be started. Do not allow the vehicles to touch.
2. Ensure all unnecessary electrical accessories on the disabled vehicle are turned off while jump
starting.
3. Turn on the blower motor of the operational vehicle to remove voltage surges.
4. Shield your eyes using safety goggles or similar eye protection.
5. Ensure jumper cables are not in the way of moving parts as you make the jumper cable
connections
a. Connect one end of the first jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged
battery.
b. Connect the other end of the first cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.
c. Connect one end of the second jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the booster
battery.
d. WARNING: Making the final cable connection could cause an electrical arc which, if made
at or near the battery, could cause an explosion.
e. Connect the other end of the second cable to the engine block of the disabled vehicle. Do not
connect the cable to the negative terminal.
6. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine at a moderate speed.
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
8. Turn off all electrical components and reduce the engine speed to idle on both of the vehicles to
prevent possible damage to the vehicle electrical system.
9. Remove the jumper cables in the exact reverse order from which they were connected. With the
jumper cables removed, the vehicle accessories can be used.
If the starter motor does not crank the engine sufficiently with the booster battery attached, further
diagnosis of the engine and starting system is required.
