Emergency Starting
Petrol engine vehicles
WARNING
For safety reasons:
•
DO NOT connect the BLACK cable to the
negative terminal of the discharged
battery - if in doubt, seek qualified
assistance.
+
•
ENSURE that each connection is securely
made and that there is no risk of the clips
accidentally slipping or being pulled from
the battery terminals - this could cause
sparking, which could lead to fire or
explosion.
+
+
Check that the cables are clear of any moving
parts of both engines, then start the engine of
the donor vehicle and allow it to idle for a few
minutes.
H2569
Always adopt the following procedure:
Connect the RED booster cable between the
positive (+) terminal of the donor battery and
the positive (+) terminal of the discharged
battery.
Now start the vehicle with the discharged
battery. Once both engines are running
normally, allow them to idle for two minutes
before switching off the engine of the donor
vehicle.
Connect the BLACK booster cable from the
negative (-) terminal of the donor battery to a
good earth point (e.g. an engine mounting or
other unpainted surface) away from the battery
and away from fuel and brake lines on the
disabled vehicle (lug on alternator casting
shown in illustration).
DO NOT switch on any electrical circuits on the
previously disabled vehicle until AFTER the
booster cables have been removed.
Disconnecting the booster cables must be an
EXACT reversal of the procedure used to
connect them, i.e.: disconnect the BLACK cable
from the earth point on the disabled vehicle
FIRST.
