Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the remote positive(+)post of the
vehicle with discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative(-)end of the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable to the remote negative(-)
post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative(-)end of the jumper cable from the remote negative(-)post
of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable from the negative(-)post
of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive(+)post of the
booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the remote positive
(+)post of the discharged vehicle.
5. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote positive(+)post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
