4. Make the final connection of the
negative (-) cable to an exposed metal
part of the stalled vehicle's engine,
away from the battery and the
carburetor or fuel injection system.
Note: Do not attach the negative (-) cable
to fuel lines, engine rocker covers, the intake
manifold or electrical components as
grounding points.
WARNING
Do not connect the end of the
second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery to be jumped.
A spark may cause an explosion of the
gases that surround the battery.
Ensure that the cables are clear of fan
blades, belts, moving parts of both engines,
or any fuel delivery system parts.

Jump Starting

and run the engine at moderately
increased speed.
2. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.

install a new battery, the engine will not
start until you press and hold the clutch
pedal down for two seconds then release
the clutch pedal and wait two seconds with
the key turned to the on position and the
engine is off.
3. Once the disabled vehicle has been
started, run both engines for an
additional three minutes before
disconnecting the jumper cables.
