Your battery charger can be used to jump start your vehicle if the battery is low. Follow these instructions on how to use the ENGINE START feature.

IMPORTANT: Follow all safety instructions and precautions when charg- ing your battery. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Charge your battery in a well-ventilated area.
