Emergency Jump Starting - KYMCO MXU 270i EURO Manual

EMERGENCY JUMP STARTING

If the battery is weak and will not start the ATV, you can elect to
jump-start the engine with the battery from another vehicle.
Both vehicles must have 12 volt, negative ground electrical
systems. The battery in the other vehicle must be of a
similar electrical capacity. Do not use an automotive
battery, even if that vehicle's engine is not running, as the
higher capacity of that battery can damage your ATV's
electrical system.
1. Remove the seats and locate the positive [+] and negative [-]
terminals on each vehicle's battery.
2. Check that the jumper cables are not damaged or have any
missing wire insulation. An electrical shock may result or the
vehicles may be damaged from using damaged jumper
cables. Before connecting the cables, be aware that the
jumper cables will connect the positive [+] terminals of each
battery, and the negative [-] terminals will also be
connected through the cable. Take great care to avoid
accidently connecting a positive [+] cable end or terminal to
a negative [-] cable end or terminal.
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
3. Carefully connect the red positive [+] jumper cable end to
the positive [+] terminal of the vehicle with the weak
battery.
4. Using great care to not let the jumper cable end touch any
part of the vehicle with the good battery, connect the other
positive [+] jumper cable end to the good battery's positive
[+] terminal.
5. Now connect the black negative [-] jumper cable end to the
good battery's negative [-] terminal. Do not let the other
negative end of the jumper cable touch anything. The
negative end of the jumper cable DOES NOT go to the weak
battery; it connects to a unpainted metal part of the engine
or chassis of the vehicle with the weak battery.
6. With the jumper cables in place, start the vehicle with the
good battery and let the engine run for a few minutes.
7. Try to start the vehicle with the weak battery. If it will not
start after a few attempts, the battery may require
replacement or there is another problem with the vehicle.
8. Carefully remove the cables in reverse order to prevent any
electrical shorts. Always take great care that the positive [+]
jumper cable ends NEVER touch any metal part of the
chassis.
