GENERAL SAFETY

JUMP STARTING

Location: The battery is located under the fuel tank / battery

box cover (A).

JUMP STARTING

Jump starting at the battery or battery replacement is required when the battery is discharged to the point where the battery will not crank the starter.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Batteries also contain other chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer.

Wash hands after handling.

WARNING

Never jump start the machine directly to the starter or the starter solenoid. Serious injury or death could result from the machine moving forward or backward.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury when jump starting with another machine, be certain that the machines are not touching. Never jump start a frozen battery as it will explode. Keep sparks and flames away from the battery. Lead acid batteries generate explosive gases when charging. Wear safety glasses when working near batteries.

The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. The machine used for jump starting must have a negative ground electrical system. To jump start the machine, proceed as follows:

1.Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive

(+) post of the discharged battery.

2.Connect the other end of the same jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

3.Connect one end of the second jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster battery.

4.Make the final cable connection to the engine block or the furthest ground point away from the battery.

5.Start the engine.

6.Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of their connection (i.e. negative cable ground connection first, etc.)
