Using A Booster Battery (Jump Starting)

WARNING

•Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear a full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.

5.Carefully check the electrolyte level and add distilled water if necessary. Do not fill the battery cells above the designated fill line. Replace battery cell caps.

6.Clean both battery terminals with a solution of baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse thoroughly. Do not allow this solution to enter the battery. Tighten battery terminals to 144 in-lb (16 N·m). Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (P/N 603 00 00-03). See following WARNING.

WARNING

•If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, replace or clean them as necessary. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation and could result in a fire, property damage, or personal injury.

Be sure the battery hold-down clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 108 in-lb (12.2 N·m). A loose clamp may allow the battery to become damaged from vibration or jarring.

If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged any longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).

USING A BOOSTER BATTERY (JUMP STARTING)

WARNING

•Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear a full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.

•When jumping from a booster battery make final connection (negative) at engine frame.

•Do not jump start or charge a frozen or damaged battery. Unplug charger before connecting or disconnecting cables to the battery. Never lean over battery while boosting, testing, or charging.

If it is necessary to use a booster battery to start the engine, BE CAREFUL!

1.Turn the key switch to the OFF position. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, engage the park brake, and chock the wheels.

2.Ensure the booster battery is 12-volt. See following NOTE.

NOTE: A starting battery is recommended but a deep cycle battery can be used if necessary.

3.Access the engine compartment by raising the cargo bed. See WARNING “For vehicles with cargo beds...” in

General Warnings on page 11.

4.Locate the vehicle battery on the driver’s side of the vehicle under the cargo bed (Figure 39).

5.Connect the end of the first cable (1) to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery. Connect the other end of the same cable (2) to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery. See DANGER “Battery – Explosive gases!...” in General Warnings on page 11.

6.Connect the end of the second cable (3) to the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery. Connect the other end of the same cable (4) to the battery frame ground.

7.Sit in the driver’s seat and start the engine.

8.After the engine has started, remove the frame ground (–) cable (4) first. Remove the cable from the positive terminal (2). Then remove the cables from the booster battery. See following CAUTION.
