– Serious personal injury (particularly to eyes) or
property damage from such causes as battery explo-
sion, battery acid, or electrical burns.

booster battery and the other end of the same cable to posi-
tive terminal of discharged battery. (Use 12-volt battery only
to jump start engine).
4) Attach one end of the remaining negative cable to negative
terminal of booster battery, and the other end to a solid
engine ground (such as exhaust manifold) at least 45 cm (18
in.) away from battery of vehicle being started.

Do not connect negative cable directly to negative termi-
nal of dead battery.

trical accessories. Then start engine of the vehicle with dis-
charged battery.
