Slave Starting
(24V NATO Connector)
If the battery (or batteries) on the vehicle have run
down and the vehicle will not start, you may want to
use another vehicle to provide power to start the
vehicle.
NATO slave cables are the only recommended
method for 24-volt jump starting of the vehicle. You
should only use NATO slave cables to jump start
similar vehicles.
Notice: Ignoring these steps could result in costly
damage to the vehicle that wouldn't be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Trying to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it will not
work, and it could damage the vehicle.

CAUTION:
Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous
because:
•
They contain acid that can burn you.
•
They contain gas that can explode or ignite.
•
They contain enough electricity to burn you.
If you do not follow these steps exactly, some or all
of these things can hurt you.
You should only use the NATO slave receptacle and
slave cable when performing this operation.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 24-volt
battery with a negative ground.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so that the slave
cable can reach, but be sure the vehicles are not
touching each other. If they are, it could cause a
ground connection causing the vehicle not to start,
and the bad grounding could damage the
electrical systems.
