whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.

an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be
seriously injured.

your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open
flames or sparks away from the battery.

could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in
damage to the charging system of the booster
vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-yf post of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the battery
to explode and could result in personal injury.7

continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.WARNING!
