WARNING (Continued)
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each other
– there is a risk of short circuit.
The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery must
not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehicle – there
is a risk of short circuit.
Do not clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery. There is the risk of detonating gas seeping out the battery
being ignited by the strong spark which results from the engine being started.
Route the jump-start cables so that they cannot be caught by any rotating
parts in the engine compartment.
Do not bend over the battery – there is a risk of caustic burns.
The vent screws of the battery cells must be tightened firmly.
Keep any sources of ignition (naked flame, lit cigarettes, etc.) away from the
battery – there is a risk of explosion.
Never jump-start vehicle batteries with insufficient acid levels – risk of ex-
plosion and chemical burns.
CAUTION
There must not be any contact between the two vehicles otherwise current
may flow as soon as the negative terminals are connected.
The discharged battery must be properly connected to the system of the vehi-
cle.
We recommend you buy jump-start cables from a car battery specialist.

Disconnect the cables in exactly the reverse order to the one described above.
Both batteries must have a rated voltage of 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the battery
supplying the power must not be significantly less than the capacity of the dis-
charged battery in your vehicle.
Jump-start cables
Only use jump-start cables which have an adequately large cross-section and in-
sulated terminal clamps. Observe the instructions of the jumper lead manufactur-
