The gas produced by the battery during the
jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do
not smoke or allow a spark or an open flame
in the vicinity.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.

Carefully remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order of attachment.

If the booster battery is installed in another
vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not

Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-
sories in both vehicles.
Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exactlocationshownintheillustration. First,
attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the
positive (+) post or cable of the discharged
battery. Then attach the other end of the
same cable to the positive (+) post or cable
of the booster battery. Next, using the other
cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-)
post or cable of the booster battery. Then
attach the other end of that cable to a solid
metal part of the engine away from the
battery. Do not connect the cable to any
movingpart.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that
it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satis-
