CAUTION!
•Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from
the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
•Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alter-
nator or electrical system may occur.
•Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system
of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
•Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen.It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury.
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised.It can
start anytime the ignition switch is on.You can be injured by moving fan blades.
•Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact.You could be seriously injured.
•Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydro-
gen gas which is flammable and explosive.Keep open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
•Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground con-
nection and personal injury could result.
•Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.
•
Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)
of the discharged battery.The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in personal injury.
