ground cable to the battery negative post
because the batte ry manager system must
be able to detect the battery 's state of
charge. Always connect the negative
ground cab le to the negative ground post
of the battery manager control unit.

ative termina l (-) to the negative termi ­
nal(-) on the body ground point, but not
the negative termina l on the battery.
- Make sure the screw plugs on the batte ry
ce lls are insta lled securely. If not, tight­
en the plugs before connecting the

connect it to a large metal component
that is bolted securely to the engine
bloc k, or to the engine block itsel f. If the
battery in the vehicle being jump started
is not vented to the outside, there is a
r isk of explosion due to hydrogen gas.
- Make sure that the connected positive
terminal clamps have sufficient contact
with metal.
- Do not use the battery negat ive terminal
