may occur or where there are combustible
vapours, gases or dusts.
Danger to life from
electric shock
Before using the jump lead, always check it for
any possible damage. Do not use the jump
lead if you see it is damaged in any way.
CAUTION! Damaged cables represent a risk
to life from electric shock. Contact your service
centre or an electrician if the product is dam-
aged, needs being repaired or has some other
problem with it.
Never open one of the electrical equipment
(cables) or place any objects into them. Such
procedures could put your life at risk from
electric shock.
Q Safety instructions regarding
the jump lead
The capacity of the starter battery that is
providing the power, e.g. 45 A / h, (car B) must
not be significantly lower than the flat starter
battery (car A).
Only batteries of the same nominal voltage (12 or
24 Volt) may be connected with the jump lead.
The bodies of the vehicles (cars A and B) must
not touch.
FIRE HAZARD! Keep the sources
of ignition (e.g. open fire, lit cigars,
cigarettes or electric sparks) away
from the starter batteries.
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY! RISK OF
EYE INJURIES! Never bend over the starter
batteries. The electrolyte is also liquid at low
temperatures (whether flat or charged is irrele-
vant in this case).
The flat starter battery (car A) may not be sep-
arated from its corresponding power supply
network during the starting aid process.
The ignitions of the vehicles must be switched
off before the jump lead cable is connected
and the parking brake put on. With manual
gearboxes, put the gear lever into the neutral
positions, with automatic gearboxes put the
gear selector into “P”.
Place the cables of the jump lead in such a
position that they cannot be caught up in the
moving parts of the engine.
Q Using the jump lead
Q Connection
Note: First check whether the two batteries, donor
battery (car B) and flat battery (car A) have the same
voltage (12 or 24 volt) and the same capacity.
Compare what is printed on the batteries.
1. Connect the red jump lead 1 with the red
pole terminal (+) 2 to the positive pole on
battery (A).
2. Connect the other pole terminal 2 of the
jump lead 1 to the positive pole of the donor
battery (B).
3. Connect the black jump lead 3 with the black
pole terminal (–) 4 to the negative pole of
the donor battery (B).
4. Then connect the other pole terminal 4 of the
black jump lead 3 to the vehicle chassis, e.g.
on the earthing strap or another unpainted
part on the engine block of the broken-down
vehicle (A).
