Starting the engine
- Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery.
Run the engine at a moderate speed.
- Start engine with discharged vehicle battery in the usual
manner.
- If the engine fails to start: do not keep the starter
cranking for longer than 10 seconds. Wait for about
30 seconds and then try again.
- With engine running, remove jumper cables from both
vehicles in the exact
reverse order.
- Close the red cover on the positive pole.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
the vehicle interior. Make sure that the jumper clamps are well
connected with their
metal parts in full contact with the battery
terminals.
& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle, heed all warnings and instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If
in doubt, call for road service.
• Jumper cables must be long enough so that the vehicles do not
touch.
• When connecting jumper cables, make sure that they cannot
get caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment.
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS~
page 286, "Engine compart­
ment".
0 Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin the generator.
• Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POSITIVE( +), and NEGATIVE( -)
to NEGATIVE(-) ground post of the battery manager control unit.
• Check that all screw plugs on the battery cells are screwed in
firmly . If not, tighten plugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery terminal.
• Please note that the procedure for connecting a jumper cable as
described
above applies specifically to the case of your vehicle being
jump started. When you are giving a jump start to another vehicle, do
not connect the negative(-) cable to the negative(-) terminal on the
discharged battery©~
page 353, fig. 263. Instead, securely
connect the negative(-) cable to either a solid metal component that
is firmly bolted to the engine block or to the engine block itself.
If the
battery that is being charged does not
vent to the outside, escaping
battery gas could ignite and explode! •
