contact rotating eng ine parts.
14. Close the cover on the posi tive terminal.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent
gases from entering the vehicle inter ior. Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connect­

metal parts in full contact with
the battery terminals.
A WARNING ~
To avoid serious personal injury and dam-
age to the vehicle, heed all warnings and

instructions of the jumper cable
manufacturer. If in doubt, call for road
service.
- Jumper cables must be long enough so
that the vehicles do not touch.
- When connecting jumper cables, make
sure that they cannot get caught in any
moving parts in the engine compart­
ment.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
<=> page 172, Engine com­
partment .
@ Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ru­
in the generator.
-Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POSI­
TIVE(+), and NEGATIVE(-) to NEGATIVE
( - ) ground post of the battery manager
control unit.
- Check that all screw plugs on the battery
cells are screwed in firmly . If not, tighten
plugs prior to connecting clamp on nega­
tive battery terminal.
- Please note that the procedure for con­
necting a jumper cable as described
above applies spec ifically to the case of
your vehicle being jump started. When
you are giving a jump start to another ve­
hicle, do
not connect the negative( -) ca­
ble to the negative(- ) terminal on the
discharged battery@. Instead, securely
connect the negative (-) cable to either a
solid metal component that is firmly bolted to the engine block or to the en­
gine block itself. If the battery that is be­
in g charged does not vent to the outside,
escaping battery gas could ignite and ex­
plode!
