Only batteries with the same rated
voltage (e.g. 12V) and similar capacity
(e.g. 45 Ah) may be connected.
•
There must be no body contact between the
vehicles.
•
Do not bend over starter batteries
(danger of chemical burns). The elect rolyte of
discharged starter batteries is liquid even at
low temperatures.
•
The discharged starter battery must not be
disconnected from the respective vehicle
electric system during or for the jump start.
•
Switch the vehicle ignition off before
connecting the jump-start cable.
Connect the positive red clamp (+) to the positive
post (+) of the two batteries - first to the dead
battery and then to the good one. Connect one
negative black clamp (-) to the negative post (-) of
the good battery. Connect the other negative black
clamp(-) to the engine block of the stalled car as
far away from the good battery as possible.
Direct connection to the negative post (-)
of the dead battery is also possible but not
recommended.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BOOSTER CABLES
Do not use emergency starting cables after
cranking continuously for more than 10 - 15
seconds. Wait for about one minute and try a gain
if the starti ng does not succeed. The problem
might be due to a mechanical or electrical failure -
not to the battery.
After starting, keep engines running for about
2 - 3 minutes and remove the clamps reversing
the procedure by removing the negative (-) black
clamp at the engine block first.
