Starting Using Auxiliary
Batteries
Jump-starting a Drained Battery
DANGER!
Never allow an open flame or electric sparks near the
battery or batteries. Never smoke in proximity to the
batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas during
charging which, when mixed with air, can form an
explosive gas. This gas is easily ignited and highly vol-
atile.
DANGER!
Never interchange the positive and negative poles on
the batteries. Risk of arcing and explosion.
1 Check that the auxiliary battery has the same volt-
age as the engine electrical system.
2 Connect the red positive cable to the plus (+) ter-
minal on the discharged battery and then to the plus
terminal on the auxiliary battery.
3 Connect the black start cable to the negative (–)
terminal on the auxiliary battery and to a place a
little distance away from the discharged battery
(e.g. the starter motor's negative terminal).
4 Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for approx-
imately 10 minutes to charge the battery. Turn off
all unnecessary electrical equipment until the bat-
tery has charged.
