JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. If the booster battery is installed in
another vehicle, make sure the vehicles
are not touching. Turn off all unneces-
sary lights and accessories.
When boosting, use the battery of
matching or higher quality. Any other
battery may be difficult to jump start
with.
If jump starting is difficult, charge the
battery for several minutes.
2. If required, remove all the vent plugs
from the booster and
discharged batter-
ies. Lay a cloth
over the open vents
on the batteries. (This helps reduce the
explosion hazard, personal injuries and
burns.)
3.
If the engine in the vehicle with the
booster battery is not running, start it
and let it run for a
few minutes. During
jump starting, run the engine at about
2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed.
