j
Jump Starting
If your vehicle’s battery is “run down,” it should be
removed and charged. If this is not practical, a 12
volt booster battery and jumper cables may be used
to start the engine.
DANGER
Battery acid generates hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive under certain
conditions. It is present within a battery at
all times, even in a discharged condition.
Keep all flames and sparks (cigarettes) away
from the battery. Wear eye protection when
working with a battery. In the event of bat-
tery acid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing,
wash the affected areas immediately with
water for at least 5 minutes.
Seek medical
attention.
