1. Attach one end of the jumper cable to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery and the other end of
the same cable to the positive terminal of the booster
battery.
WARNING!
Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this
could establish a ground connection and personal
injury could result.
2. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the
negative terminal of the booster battery. Connect the
other end of the jumper cable to a good ground on the
vehicle with the discharged battery. Make sure a good
connection is made, free of dirt and grease.
WARNING!
•Do not connect the cable to the negative terminal
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical
spark could cause the battery to explode.
•During cold weather when temperatures are be-
low freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump starting
because the battery could rupture or explode. The
battery temperature must be brought up above
freezing point before attempting to jump start.
3. Take care that the clamps from one cable do not touch
clamps from the other cable. Do not lean over the battery
when making the connection. The negative connection
must provide good electrical conductivity and current
carrying capacity.
