STARTING ENGINE WITH BOOSTER CABLE
When starting the engine with a booster cable, do as follows.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING BOOSTER CABLE
WARNING
When connecting the cables, never contact the positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals.
When starting the engine with a booster cable, wear safety glasses and
rubber gloves.
Be careful not to let the normal machine and problem machine contact
each other. This prevents sparks from generating near the battery which
could ignite the hydrogen gas given off by the battery.
Make sure that there is no mistake in the booster cable connections.
The final connection is to the engine block of the problem machine, but
sparks will be generated when this is done, so connect to a place as far
as possible from the battery.
When disconnecting the booster cable, take care not to bring the clips
in contact with each other or with the machine body.

The size of the booster cable and clip should be suitable for the battery size.
