1.17 Battery Jump Start Procedure
Occasionally it may be necessary to jump start a weak battery. If jump starting is necessary the following pro-
cedure is recommended to prevent starter damage, battery damage, and personal injury.
Warning:
Jump starting a battery incorrectly can cause the battery to explode resulting in severe personal
injury or death. Do not smoke or allow any ignition sources near the battery and do not jump
start a frozen battery.
Warning:
Electrical arcing can cause severe personal injury. Do not allow positive and negative cable ends
to touch.

. Attach one end of the positive booster cable (red) to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery. Attach
the other end of the terminal of your engine battery.

. Attach one end of the negative booster cable (black) to the negative (-) terminal on the booster. Attach the
other end of the negative cable to your engine battery.

Over cranking the engine can cause starter damage. Allow 10 seconds for starter to cool if
engaged for more than 5 seconds.
Caution:
When using lights or high amperage draw accessories, idle the engine for a period of 20 minutes
to bring the battery to charge state.
