Safety and Compliance

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATION
1. Establish that both vehicles have the same polarity, i.e. both vehicles have either
positive earth or both have negative earth. (All vehicles manufactured after 1980
are negative earth).
2. Switch off all electrical equipment on both vehicles, including ignition. Select
neutral gear (or park if automatic transmission) and apply the handbrake. Ensure
that vehicles are not touching.
CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEGATIVE EARTH VEHICLES
Connecting the Booster Cable
1. Connect the RED cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.
2. Connect the other end of the RED cable to the positive (+) terminal of the flat
battery.
3. Connect the BLACK cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
4. Make final connection of the BLACK cable to a substantial, unpainted point on
the chassis or engine of the vehicle with the flat battery.
5. Ensure that this point is away from the battery, carburetor, fuel lines or brake
pipes to minimize any fire risk caused by sparking.
STARTING
1. Ensure that the leads are well clear of any moving parts.
2. Start the engine of the "good" (booster) vehicle and allow to run for about one
minute.
3. Attempt to start the "dead" (flat) vehicle and once started allow to run for at least
one minute (DO NOT allow the cable to become hot. If they do, switch off the
engine and allow them to cool).
DISCONNECTING THE CABLES
1. Stop the engine of the "good" (booster) vehicle.
2. Disconnect the leads by reversing the order of the connection sequence.
3. Take great care to keep clear of moving parts when disconnecting from the
running vehicle.
