JUMP STARTING

WARNING
•
Incorrect jump starting can lead to a battery
explosion. The battery explosion may result in
severe injury or death. It may also result in
damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the
instructions in this section.
•
Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and
flames away from the battery.
•
Always wear suitable eye protection and re-
move rings, bracelets, and any other jewellery
whenever working on or near a battery.
•
Never lean over the battery while jump start-
ing.
•
Never allow battery fluid to come into contact
with eyes, skin, clothes or the vehicle's
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive
sulphuric acid which can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted area with
plenty of water.
•
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
•
The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts.
Use of an incorrectly rated battery will dam-
age your vehicle.

Never attempt to jump start a frozen battery.
It could explode and cause serious injury.
