Now start the vehicle with the discharged
battery. Once both engines are running
WARNING
DO NOT connect the BLACK cable to the
negative terminal of the discharged battery -
this could cause sparking, which could lead to
fire or explosion. Always use the negative (-)
connection point. If in doubt, seek qualified
assistance.
normally, allow them to idle for two minutes
before switching off the donor vehicle engine.
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 negative (-) connection on the
previously disabled vehicle FIRST.
Always adopt the following procedure,
ensuring the cables are connected in the
order shown below:
1.
Connect one end of the RED booster cable
to the positive (+) connection point (see
left inset).
2.
Connect the other end of the RED booster
cable to the positive (+) connection point
(if fitted) on the disabled vehicle, or
positive (+) terminal of the discharged
battery.
3.
4.
Connect one end of the BLACK booster
cable to the negative (-) connection point
(see right inset).
Connect the other end of the BLACK
booster cable to the negative (-)
connection point (if fitted) on the disabled
vehicle, or to a good earth point (e.g. an
engine mounting or other unpainted metal
surface) at least 0.5m from the battery and
well away from fuel and brake lines.
WARNING
ENSURE that each connection is securely
made and that there is no risk of the clips
accidentally slipping or being pulled from the
connection points/battery terminal - 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.
