Jump starting
If the 12-volt booster battery to be used is in another car, check that the
cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of a negative
circuit. Note the position of the battery terminals and using jumper
cables:
•
First connect the booster battery positive (+) terminal (1) to car
battery positive (+) terminal (2).
•
Then connect the booster battery negative (-) terminal (3) to a
stationary solid metal part on the engine at a point away from the
battery (4).
Do not connect the jumper cable to any part of the fuel system or to any
moving parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal
jumper cable. Then remove the positive (+) terminal jumper cable.
CAUTION: Improper hook-up of jumper cables or use of other than
12-volt batteries could result in damage to equipment and/or the
battery.
