WARNING! Ventilate well. Batteries generate
oxyhydrogen gas, which is extremely flammable
and explosive. A short circuit, naked flame or
spark can cause a powerful explosion.
Never reverse the polarity of the battery. Risk of
sparks and explosion.
1. Make sure the rated voltage of the auxiliary bat-
tery is the same as the system voltage of the
engine.

battery’s + terminal and then to the auxiliary
battery’s + terminal.

tery negative terminal and then to a position
slightly away from the discharged batteries, for
example at the negative cable’s connection to the
starter motor.
WARNING! The black auxiliary cable (–) must not
come in contact with the positive connection on
the starter motor.
4. Start the engine and run at no load for about ten
minutes to charge the batteries.
