WARNING
EWJ01250
To avoid battery explosion and serious
damage to the electrical system:

Do not reverse the polarity of the jumper
cables when connecting to the batteries.

Do not connect the negative (–) jumper
cable to the negative (–) terminal of the
watercraft battery.

Do not touch the positive (+) jumper ca-
ble to the negative (–) jumper cable.
(1) Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) battery terminals of both
batteries.
(2) Connect one end of the negative (–)
jumper cable to the negative (–) battery
terminal of the booster battery.(3) Connect the other end of the negative (–)
jumper cable to an engine hanger.
(4) Start the engine, and then disconnect the

ferent amperage than recommended.
Substitution with a fuse that has an
improper rating can cause extensiveelectrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.
