CAUTION:
Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous
because:
They contain acid that can burn you.
They contain gas that can explode
or
ignite.
They contain enough electricity to burn you.
If
you don’t follow these steps exactly, some or all
of
these things can hurt you.
NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage
to your vehicle that wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Trying to start your vehicle by pushing
or pulling it won’t work, and it could damage
your vehicle.
1.
Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
I
NOTICE:
If
the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2.
Get the vehicles close enough
so
the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other. If they
are,
it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start
your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
