Vauxhall Combo Owner's Manual

Picture no: 16492s.tif

Connect the leads in the order shown in the 

illustration:
1. Connect one end of the first jump lead to 

the positive terminal 1 of the battery 

providing the jump start (identified by 

"+" sign on battery case or terminal). 

2. Connect the other end of this lead to the 

positive terminal 2 of the discharged 

battery ("+" sign). 

3. Connect the first end of the other jump 

lead to the negative terminal 3 of the 

battery providing the start ("–" sign). 

4. Connect the other end of the second 

jump lead 4 to ground on the other 

vehicle, e.g. engine block or screw 

connection in the engine suspension. 

z Do not connect leads to negative 

terminal of discharged battery! 

z The connection point should be as far 

away from the discharged battery as 

possible. 

z Route the leads so that they cannot 

catch on rotating parts in the engine 

compartment. 

z Start the engine of the vehicle providing 

the jump start. 

z After 5 minutes, start the other engine. 

Start attempts should be made at 

intervals of 1 minute not last longer than 

15 seconds. 

z After starting, allow both engines to idle 

for approx. 3 minutes with the leads 

connected. 

z In order to avoid excess voltage in the 

electrical system, before removing a 

lead, switch on an electrical consumer 

(e.g. light, heated rear window 3) in the 

vehicle receiving the jump start. 

z Reverse above sequence exactly when 

removing leads.
