CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.You can damage a 12-volt startingmotor, ignition system, and otherelectrical parts beyond repair by useof a 24-volt power supply (eithertwo 12-volt batteries in series or a24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING
nBattery
Never attempt to check the electro‐lyte level of the battery as this maycause the battery to rupture or ex‐plode causing serious injury.
