another vehicle. Always use jumper
cables with fully insulated handles on
the terminal clamps.

injury. Carefully observe the following
instructions to avoid personal injury
and/or damage to one or both vehi-
cles.

support vehicle is rated at 12 volts.

vehicle. Switch off all electrical
accessories in both vehicles – except
