another vehicle's electrical system,
the booster battery should be treated
carefully when using jumper cables
-
follow exactly the procedure out-
lined below, being careful not to cause
sparks which could ignite any hydro-
gen which might be present when
attaching jumper cable clips
to
the two
batteries.
To start the car when the Energizer
is discharged, use a single auxiliary
battery or Energizer of the same
voltage as the discharged battery, with
suitable jumper cables.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to jump start a
frozen battery. If
a
frozen battery is sus-
pected, open and examine all fill vents
on
the battery. /f ice can be seen, or the
electrolyte fluid cannot be
seen,
do not
attempt
to start
with jumper cables.
When attaching jumper cables:
First, attach one end of one jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the
booster battery (identified by a
"+"
or "P" on the battery case, post, or
clamp) and the other end of the same
cable to
.
the positive terminal of the
discharged battery.
Second,
attach one end of the re-
14
maining cable to the negative terminal
("-" or "N") of the booster battery
and finally to the negative terminal of
the
discharged battery -
taking care
that none of the jumper clips contact
each other.
Reverse this sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
CAUTION: Any procedure other than the
above could result in personal Injury
caused by electrolyte squirting out the
battery vents, damage or injury due to
battery explosion, and/or damage
to
the
charging system of the booster vehicle's
or Immobilized vehicle's charging system.
