If Trouble Arises; Battery Runs Out; Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:- Page 585

Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:

Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is dangerous. The
cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious injury.

CAUTION

Use only a 12 V booster system. You can damage a 12 V starter, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair with a 24 V power supply (two 12 V batteries in series or a 24 V
motor generator set).

Booster battery

Discharged battery

Jumper cables

Connect cables in numerical order 
and disconnect in reverse order.

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Make sure the booster battery is 12 V

and that its negative terminal is
grounded.

3. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, do not allow both vehicles to
touch. Turn off the engine of the
vehicle with the booster battery and all
unnecessary electrical loads in both
vehicles.

4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact

sequence as in the illustration.



Connect one end of a cable to the
positive terminal on the discharged
battery (1).



Attach the other end to the positive
terminal on the booster battery (2).



Connect one end of the other cable
to the negative terminal of the
booster battery (3).



Connect the other end to the ground
point indicated in the illustration
away from the discharged battery
(4).

5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle

and run it a few minutes. Then start the
engine of the other vehicle.

6. When finished, carefully disconnect

the cables in the reverse order
described in the illustration.
