the hand-held transmitter every

releasing the button on the universal transmitter.

negative
(-) cable to
the good battery’s
negative
(-) terminal. Don’t let the other end
of the negative (-) cable touch
anything until the next step. The other end

from the dead battery, but not near engine

is on the bracket
between the air cleaner and the engine block.

the engine for a while.
