Jump Starting Procedure

NOTICE

If a 12-volt battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolyte 
inside can freeze. Attempting to jump start with a 
frozen 12-volt battery can cause it to rupture.

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Be careful 
not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the cable 
ends to touch each other while attaching or 
detaching the jumper cables.

WARNING

A 12-volt battery can explode if you do not 
follow the correct procedure, seriously 
injuring anyone nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking 
materials away from the 12-volt battery.
