Figure 36. Jump Starting
WARNING
Any procedure other than the proceeding could result in:
1. Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out of
the battery vents.
2. Personal injury or property damage due to battery
explosion.
3. Damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle
or of the immobilized vehicle.
Do not attempt to jump start a vehicle having a frozen
battery because the battery may rupture or explode. If a
frozen battery is suspected, examine all fill vents on the
battery. If ice can be seen or if the electrolyte fluid cannot
be seen, do not attempt to start with jumper cables as
long as the battery remains frozen.
WARNING
For your personal safety, use extreme caution when
jump starting.
• Never expose battery to open flame or electric
spark—battery action generates hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive.
• Do not allow battery acid to contact skin, eyes, fabrics
or painted surfaces. Batteries contain a sulfuric acid
solution which can cause serious personal injury or
property damage.
• When removing or installing battery cables, disconnect
the negative cable first and reconnect it last. If not done
in this order, the positive terminal can be shorted to the
frame by a tool.
• To avoid engine damage, do not disconnect the battery
while engine is running. Be sure terminal connections
are tight before starting.
