follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and

precautions.

CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any
other booster source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.

Remote battery posts are located on the right side of the

engine compartment for jump-starting.
