NEVER jump start the vehicle directly to the starter or starter solenoid.
Serious injury or death could result from the vehicle lurching forward or
backward and running over the person attempting to jump start the
vehicle directly to the starter.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury when jump starting with another vehicle, be
certain that the two vehicles are not touching. Never jump start a frozen
battery as it will explode. Keep sparks, flames and lighted smoking
materials away from the battery. Lead acid batteries generate explosive
gases when charging. Wear safety glasses when working near
batteries.
