CAUTION:
Improper hook-up of jumper cables or use of other than 12-volt batteries could result in damage to
equipment and/or battery.

of the battery terminals and using jumper cables:
First connect booster battery positive (+) terminal (1) to car battery positive (+) terminal (2).
Then connect 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 booster cable to any part of fuel system or any moving parts. Avoid touching hot
manifolds.
