Jump Starting Label
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster
battery, let the engine idle for a few minutes, and
then start the engine in the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
6. Once the engine is started, follow the disconnecting
procedure.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
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 inad-
vertent electrical contact. You could be seri-
ously 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.
