Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is
12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles
to touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the previ-
ous illustration. First connect one
end of a jumper cable to the posi-
tive terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (1), then connect the other end
to the positive terminal on the
booster battery (2). Proceed to con-
nect one end of the other jumper
cable to the negative terminal of the
booster battery (3), then the other
end to a solid, stationary, metallic
point (for example, the engine lifting
bracket) away from the battery (4).
Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is
cranked. Do not connect the jumper
cable from the negative terminal of
OLD046001
the booster battery to the negative
terminal of the discharged battery.
