JUMP-STARTING THE BATTERY
12
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator. The generator is not designed to charge a dead battery. If
the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be charged using a properly-rated automotive type
G
charger.
WARNING
• DO NOT JUMP-START A VEHICLE WITH A DEAD BATTERY USING ANOTHER BATTERY AND
JUMPER CABLES.
GROUND STRAPS
WARNING
• IF GROUND STRAPS ARE NOT SECURELY CONNECTED TO FRAME AND IN THE PROPER ORI-
ENTATION, A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WILL EXIST. BE SURE ALL GROUND CONNECTIONS
ARE SECURELY CONNECTED AT ALL TIMES.
There are three ground straps on the DS Gasoline which ground the electrical system to the frame.
1. One of the straps is attached to the A1 terminal of the starter/generator and to the frame seat support
(Figure 12-60).
2. The engine ground is attached to the oil filler bracket on the engine and to the frame (Figure 12-61).
3. A third ground plate is in the bottom of the electrical component box where the bolt secures the voltage
regulator to the box. The other end of this ground plate attaches through the side of the electrical box
and is bolted into the frame (Figure 12-62). Be sure all these ground straps are securely connected at
both ends of each strap.
