SAFETY
M. Avoid accidental contact between jumper cable
terminal clips or clamps and any metallic portion of
either the compressor or the starting vehicle to min-
imize the possibility of uncontrolled arcing which
might serve as a source of ignition.
N. Positive battery terminals are usually identified
by a plus (+) sign on the terminal and the letters
POS adjacent to the terminal. Negative battery ter-
minals are usually identified by the letters NEG
adjacent to the terminal or a negative (-) sign.
O. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the posi-
tive (POS) (+) battery terminal in the starting vehi-
cle. When jump starting 24V compressors and if the
starting vehicle is provided with two (2) 12V batter-
ies connected in series, connect the jumper cable to
the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the ungrounded
battery.
P. Connect the other end of the same jumper cable
to the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the starter
motor battery in the compressor, or when jump
starting 24V compressor, to the positive (POS) (+)
terminal of the ungrounded battery in the compres-
sor.
Q. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the
grounded negative (NEG) (-) terminal of the battery
in the starting vehicle. When jump starting 24V
compressors and if the starting vehicle is provided
with two (2) 12V batteries connected in series, con-
nect the jumper cable to the negative (NEG) (-) ter-
minal of the grounded battery.
R. Check your connections. DO NOT attempt to
start a 24V compressor with one 12V battery in the
starting vehicle. DO NOT apply 24V to one 12V
battery in the compressor.

S. Connect the other end of this same jumper cable
to a clean portion of the compressor engine block
away from fuel lines, the crank case breather open-
ing and the battery.
T. Start the compressor in accordance with normal
procedure. Avoid prolonged cranking.
U. Allow the compressor to warm up. When the
compressor is warm and operating smoothly at nor-
mal idle RPM, disconnect the jumper cable from the
engine block in the compressor, then disconnect
the other end of this same cable from the grounded
negative (NEG) (-) terminal of the battery in the
starting vehicle. Then disconnect the other jumper
cable from the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the
battery in the compressor, or if provided with two (2)
12V batteries connected in series, from the
ungrounded battery in the compressor, and finally,
disconnect the other end of this same jumper cable
from the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the battery in
the starting vehicle or from the positive (POS) (+)
terminal of the ungrounded battery in the starting
vehicle, if it is provided with two (2) 12V batteries
connected in series.
V. Remove and carefully dispose of the dampened
cloths, as they may now be contaminated with acid,
then replace all vent caps.
