HAZARD FLASHERS
Note:If used when the vehicle is notrunning, the battery loses charge. As a result,there may be insufficient power to restartyour vehicle.
The hazard flasher control is located onthe instrument panel. Use it when yourvehicle is creating a safety hazard for othermotorists.
•Press the flasher control and all frontand rear direction indicators flash.
•Press the flasher control again toswitch them off.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE
WARNING: Batteries normallyproduce explosive gases which cancause personal injury. Therefore, do notallow flames, sparks or lightedsubstances to come near the battery.When working near the battery, alwaysshield your face and protect your eyes.Always provide correct ventilation.
WARNING: Keep batteries out ofreach of children. Batteries containsulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes whenworking near the battery to protectagainst possible splashing of acidsolution. In case of acid contact with skinor eyes, flush immediately with water fora minimum of 15 minutes and get promptmedical attention. If acid is swallowed,call a physician immediately.
WARNING: Use only adequatelysized cables with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Do not attempt to push-start yourautomatic transmission vehicle.
Note:Attempting to push-start a vehiclewith an automatic transmission may causetransmission damage.
Note:Use only a 12-volt supply to start yourvehicle.
Note:Do not disconnect the battery of thedisabled vehicle as this could damage thevehicle electrical system.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hoodof the disabled vehicle, making sure thetwo vehicles do not touch.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
WARNING: Do not attach thecables to fuel lines, engine rocker covers,the intake manifold or electricalcomponents as grounding points. Stayclear of moving parts. To avoid reversepolarity connections, make sure that youcorrectly identify the positive (+) andnegative (-) terminals on both thedisabled and booster vehicles beforeconnecting the cables.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INSPECTION
Periodically inspect electrical connectorson the outside of the cab and on the engineand frame for corrosion and tightness.Exposed terminals, such as the fuel sender,cranking motor, alternator andfeed-through studs, should be cleaned andre-coated with a lubricant sealing greasesuch as Motorcraft Silicone Brake CaliperGrease and Dielectric Compound XG-3, orequivalent. This should include the groundcable connector for batteries, engine andcab as well as the jump-starting stud.
Accessory Feed Connections
Vehicle electrical systems are complex andoften include powertrain components,such as engine and transmission controls,instrument panels and ABS. While mostsystems operate on battery voltage (12volts), some systems can be as high as 90volts or as low as five volts. See theElectrical Circuit Diagram Manuals,available from your vehicle’s manufacturer,to make sure that any extra body lights andaccessory connections to circuits are bothappropriate and not overloaded. Do notmake modifications to any vehicle controlsystem without first contacting anauthorized dealer.
