JUMP STARTING
To reduce the risk of personal injury when working
near a battery:
– Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over
a battery whenever possible.
– Do not expose a battery to open flames or
sparks.
– Be sure any batteries that have filler caps are
properly filled with fluid.
– Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or
skin. Flush any contacted area with water
immediately and get medical help.
Follow each step in the jump starting instructions.
1. Position a vehicle with a good (charged)
battery so the jumper cables will reach, but so
it does not touch the machine with the dead
battery. Be sure the jumper cables are in
good condition. Turn off the ignition and all
electrical accessories on both machines.
2. Making sure the cable clamps do not touch
any other metal parts, connect one end of the
first jumper cable to the positive "+" (red)
terminal on one battery and the other end to
the positive terminal on the other battery.
Never connect "+" (red) to negative "-" (black).
3. Connect one end of the other cable to the
negative "-" (black) terminal of the good
(charged) battery. Make the final connection
to a heavy metal bracket on the machine to be
started away from the battery. Make sure the
cables won't get caught in any parts after
engine is started.
4. Start the vehicle with the good battery, then
the machine with the discharged battery.
5. Remove the cables in the exact reverse order
of installation. When removing each clamp
take care it does not touch any other metal
parts while the other end remains attached.
