Jump-Starting  
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If you  
feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a competent service  
technician do the work.  
WARNING  
Follow These Precautions Carefully:  
To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following precautions  
carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.  
Do not allow the positive ( ) terminal to contact any other metal object that  
could cause sparks:  
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced  
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An  
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. When working near a battery, do  
not allow metal tools to contact the positive ( ) or negative ( ) terminal of the battery.  
Keep all ꢀames, including cigarettes, and sparks away from open battery cells:  
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced  
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An  
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.  
Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low ꢀuid level:  
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low ꢀuid level is dangerous. It may rupture  
or explode, causing serious injury.  
Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the battery:  
Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative ( ) terminal of the  
discharged battery is dangerous.  
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure someone.  
Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:  
Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is dangerous. The  
cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious injury.
