– Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over a
battery whenever possible.
– Do not expose a battery to open flames or sparks.
– Be sure any batteries that have filler caps are
properly filled with fluid.
– Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or skin.
Flush any contacted area with water immediately
and get medical help.
Follow each step in the jump starting instructions.
1. Position a vehicle with a good(charged) battery
so the jumper cables will reach, but so it does
not touch the machine with the dead battery. Be
sure the jumper cables are in good condition.
Turn off the ignition and all electrical accessories
on both machines.
2. Making sure the cable clamps do not touch any
other metal parts, connect one end of the first
jumper cable to the positive"+"(red) terminal on
one battery and the other end to the positive
terminal on the other battery. Never connect "+"
(red) to negative "-" (black).
3. Connect one end of the other cable to the
negative"-"(black) terminal of the good(charged)
battery. Make the final connection to the engine
on the machine to be started, away from the
battery. Make sure the cables won't get caught
in any parts after engine is started.
4. Start the vehicle with the good battery, then the
machine with the discharged battery.
5. Remove the cables in the exact reverse order of
installation. When removing each clamp take
care it does not touch any other metal parts
