and disconnect in reverse order.

Jump starting

Jump starting can be dangerous if

done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid

harm to yourself or damage to your

vehicle or battery, follow these jump

starting procedures. If in doubt, we

strongly recommend that you have a

competent technician or towing serv-

ice jump start your vehicle.

CAUTION

Use only a 12-volt jumper sys-

tem. You can damage a 12-volt

starting motor, ignition system,

and other electrical parts

beyond repair by use of a 24-

volt power supply (either two

12-volt batteries in series or a

24-volt motor generator set).

WARNING - Battery

• Keep all flames or sparks

away from the battery. The

battery produces hydrogen

gas which may explode if

exposed to flame or sparks.

If these instructions are not

followed exactly, serious per-

sonal injury and damage to

the vehicle may occur! If you

are not sure how to follow this

procedure, seek qualified

assistance. Automobile bat-

teries contain sulfuric acid.

This is poisonous and highly

corrosive. When jump start-

ing, wear protective glasses

and be careful not to get acid

on yourself, your clothing or

on the vehicle.

• Do not attempt to jump start

the vehicle if the discharged

battery is frozen or if the elec-

trolyte level is low; the battery

may rupture or explode.

WARNING - Battery

Never attempt to check the elec-

trolyte level of the battery as

this may cause the battery to

rupture or explode causing seri-

ous injury.
