Begin by connecting one end
of the red jump lead to the
positive terminal of the dis-
charged battery and the other
end to the positive terminal of
the donor battery.
Then connect one end of the
black jump lead to negative ter-
minal 2 of the donor battery,
and the other end to the neg-
ative terminal of the discharged
battery.
The spring-strut screw can
be used as an alternative to
the battery's negative terminal.
Run the engine of the donor
vehicle during jump-starting.
Start the engine of the vehicle
with the discharged battery
in the usual way; if the en-
gine does not start, wait a few
minutes before repeating the
attempt in order to protect the
starter motor and the donor
battery.
Allow both engines to idle for a
few minutes before disconnect-
ing the jump leads.
Disconnect the jump lead from
the negative terminals first,
then disconnect the second
lead from the positive termin-
als.
Remember to reinstall the pro-
tective cap on the battery's
positive terminal.
Do not use proprietary
start-assist sprays or oth-
er products to start the engine.
