3) Make jump lead connections as follows:
1. Connect one end of the first jump
lead to the positive (+) terminal of the
flat battery (1).
2. Connect the other end to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery (2).
3. Connect one end of the second jump
lead to the negative (–) terminal of the
booster battery (2).
4. Make the final connection to an
unpainted, heavy metal part (i.e.
engine mount bracket (3)) of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat bat-
tery (1).
WARNING
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, or an explosion may
occur.
CAUTION
Connect the jump lead to the engine
mount bracket securely. If the jump
lead disconnects from the engine
mount bracket because of vibration at
the start of the engine, the jump lead
could be caught in the drive belts.
4) If the booster battery you are using is fit-
ted to another vehicle, start the engine of
the vehicle with the booster battery. Run
the engine at moderate speed.
5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the
flat battery.
6) Remove the jump leads in the exact
reverse order in which you connected
them.
