WARNING!

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this 

could establish a ground connection and 

personal injury could result.

WARNING!

Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan 

whenever the hood is raised. It can start 

anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be 

injured by moving fan blades.

Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, 

watch bands and bracelets that could make 

an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be 

seriously injured.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn 

your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas 

which is flammable and explosive. Keep open 

flames or sparks away from the battery.

WARNING!

Failure to follow this jump starting procedure 

could result in personal injury or property 

damage due to battery explosion.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these procedures could result in 

damage to the charging system of the booster 

vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative 

(-) post of the discharged battery. The resulting 

electrical spark could cause the battery to 

explode and could result in personal injury.
