The use of a wrench to loosen and remove cables from the
terminals should be made. Always disconnect the negative
(-ve) cable first and reconnect it last. Clean the battery
terminals with a terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.
Reconnect and tighten the cables, coat the terminals with
petroleum jelly. If you need to connect the battery to a
charger, disconnect both cables to prevent damage to the
vehicle’s electrical system.

Your Safari with a discharged battery may be started by
transferring electrical power from a battery in another vehicle.
This may be dangerous as any deviation from the following
instructions could lead to personal injury or damage
resulting from battery explosion, as well as the damage to
the electrical systems in both vehicles.• Never expose the battery to open flames or sparks.
• Do not allow battery electrolyte to come in contact with
eyes, skins, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid
contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and
damage in the event of direct contact.
• To lessen the risk of injury wear eye protection when
working near any battery.
• Make sure that battery providing the jump start has the
same voltage as the battery in your vehicle (12 V). Its
capacity must not be substantially lower than that of the
discharged battery. The voltage and capacity are given
on the batteries.
• Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.
• Switch off all unnecessary electrical loads.
• Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
• Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of
the other lead.
• Apply hand brake. Place gear shift lever to neutral.
