WARNING INFORMATION
GENERAL BOOSTER CABLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMPSTARTING AN
ENGINE (THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT INTENDED DIRECTLY FOR
USE WITH THE PSX3) :
Batteries contain acid and produce explosive gases
WARNING
Note: Consult the owner's manual for complete instructions. SHIELD THE EYES AND
FACE FORM THE BATTERIES AT ALL TIMES. Be sure the vent caps are tight and level.
Place a damp cloth, if available, over any vent caps on both batteries making certain it is
clear of fan blades, belts, and other moving parts.
These instructions are designed to minimize the explosion hazard. Keep sparks,
flames, and cigarettes away from the batteries at all times. Wear safety glasses,
and protect the eyes at all times.
Do not lean over the batteries during this operation.
Both the battery to be jumped and the booster source must be the same voltage
(6 or 12 V, etc.).
Power sources other than batteries should not exceed 16 V DC for use with the
12 V systems, and 8 V DC for use with a 6 V DC system.
Position the vehicle with the booster battery, or other power source, adjacent
to the vehicle with the discharged battery so that the booster cables can be
connected easily between both vehicles. Make certain that the vehicles do not
touch each other.
1. Turn off all electrical loads on all vehicles and set the parking brake. Place
the automatic transmission in "PARK" (manual transmission in "NEUTRAL").
2. Determine whether the discharged battery has the negative (-) or the positive
(+) terminal connected to the ground. The ground lead is connected to the
engine block, the vehicle frame, or some other good metallic ground. The
battery terminal is connected to the starter is the one that is not grounded.
All vehicles manufactured in the USA after 1955 have the negative battery
terminal grounded. All European and Asian passenger vehicles manufactured
after 1971 have the negative battery terminal grounded.
3. On a negative ground system, connect the positive (+) cable clamp to the
positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery wired to the starter solenoid.
Do not allow the positive cable clamps to touch any metal other than the
battery positive (+) terminals.
