Starting Using Auxiliary Batteries
WARNING!
Explosion hazard. Batteries contain and give off an
explosive gas which is highly flammable and explosive.
A short circuit, open flame or spark could cause a
violent explosion. Ventilate well.
1 Check that the auxiliary batteries are connected
(series or parallel) so that the rated voltage
corresponds to the engine system voltage.
2 First connect the red (+) jumper cable to the
auxiliary battery, then to the flat battery. Then
connect the black (-) jumper cable to the auxiliary
battery and to a location that is somewhere away
from the discharged battery, e.g. the main switch
negative terminal or the negative terminal on the
starter motor.
3 Start the engine.
WARNING!
Do not touch the connections during the start
attempt: Risk of arcing.
Do not bend over any of the batteries either.
4 Remove the cables in the reverse order.
IMPORTANT:
The ordinary cables to the standard batteries must not
under any circumstances be loosened.
