Procedures:
1 Turn the key switches on both units to OFF. Be sure that both units are in “Neutral” and NOT
touching.
2 Connect one end of the (red) positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on the disabled machine first. DO NOT allow the positive (+) jumper cable clamps to touch any metal other than the positive (+) battery terminals. Connect the other end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the jumper battery positive (+) terminal.
3 Connect one end of the (black) negative (-) jumper cable to the jumper battery negative (-) terminal.
4 Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connection to the disabled machine’s engine block or
frame (ground) ⎯ NOT to the disabled machine negative battery post. If making the connection to the engine, keep the jumper cable clamp away from the battery, fuel lines, and moving parts.
NOTE: Twist the jumper cable clamps on the battery terminals to ensure a good electrical connection.
5 Start the engine. If it does not start immediately,start the jumper vehicles engine to avoid excessive drain on the booster battery.
6 After the machine has started and is running smoothly, have the second person remove the
jumper cables (negative (-) jumper cable first) from the jumper vehicle battery, and then from the
disabled machine, while being careful not to short the two cables together.
Allow sufficient time for the alternator to build up a charge in the battery before operating the machine or shutting off the engine.

dead cells, or troubleshoot the electrical system for possible short circuits or damaged wire insulation.
