Always read the warnings and safety information before carrying out any kind of work on the battery (→ 12-volt
vehicle battery).
● The vehicle battery providing assistance must have approximately the same voltage as the flat vehicle battery
(12-volts) and approximately the same capacity (see imprint on battery.)
● Never charge a vehicle battery once it has been frozen. Discharged vehicle batteries can even freeze at
temperatures of around 0°C (+32°F).
● The battery should be replaced if it is or has ever been frozen.
● A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the vehicle battery is jump started. Always keep fire, sparks,
naked flames and lit cigarettes away from the vehicle battery. Never use a mobile telephone when the jump leads
are being connected or disconnected.
● Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated space as the battery emits a highly explosive mixture of gases when
the vehicle is being jump started.
● Position the jump leads so that they never come into contact with any moving parts in the engine compartment.
● Never confuse the negative and positive terminals or connect the jump leads incorrectly.
● Observe the jump lead manufacturer's instructions.
NOTICE
Please note the following in order to avoid considerable damage to the vehicle electrical system:
● A short circuit can be caused if the jump leads are wrongly connected.
● Only use jump leads with fully insulated terminal clamps.
● The vehicles must not touch each other, as any contact could mean that electricity could flow as soon as the
positive terminals are connected.
NOTICE
Tow-starting the vehicle can cause damage.
