{Warning
Last connection to the vehicle to be
charged should NOT be made to
the negative (-) battery terminal.
Attach the clamp for this last
connection to a steel bracket
bolted to the engine block.
This last connection should be as
far away from the battery as
possible.
Connecting the jumper cable to the
negative terminal of the discharged
battery could result in arcing and
possibly a battery explosion.
Serious personal injury or vehicle
damage can result.
4. Connect the other end of the
second jumper cable to ground
on the other vehicle, such as a
steel bracket bolted to the engine
block.
5. The engine of the vehicle
providing the jump start can be
allowed to run during the jump
start.
Once the previously discharged
vehicle is running:
1. Carefully disconnect the ground
connection (-). Begin with the
vehicle with the discharged
battery. Leave the discharged
vehicle running.
2. Disconnect the negative lead
from vehicle providing the jump.
3. Disconnect the "+" lead from both
batteries. Store the jumper
cables with the spare tyre.
4. Operate the discharged vehicle
for approximately 20 minutes.
This will allow the charging
system to recharge your battery.
5. If this discharge condition
reoccurs, consult a repairer.
