JUMP STARTING

To start your engine with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed.

WARNING

.If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a battery explosion, resulting in severe injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.

.Explosive hydrogen gas is always pre- sent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and flames away from the battery.

.Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulphuric acid solution which can cause severe burns. If the fluid should come into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area with water.

.Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

.The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage your vehicle.

.Whenever working on or near a battery, always wear suitable eye protectors (for

example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or any other jewelry. Do not lean over the battery when jump starting.

.Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.

.Your vehicle has an automatic engine cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and other objects away from it.
