Remove vent caps on the battery (if so equipped). Cover the battery with an old cloth to reduce explosion hazard. Connect jumper cables in the sequence illustrated. CAUTION Always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to body ground (e. g. , strut mounting bolt, etc. -- not to the battery). PUSH STARTING Make sure that cables do not touch moving parts in the engine compartment and that clamps do not contact any other metal. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and let it run for a few minutes. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle at about 2, 000 rpm, and start your engine in the normal manner. CAUTION Do not keep the starter motor engaged for more than 10 seconds. If the engine does not start right away, turn the key off and wait 3 to 4 seconds before trying again. After starting your engine, carefully disconnect the negative cable and then the positive cable. Be sure to dispose of the cloth used to cover the vent holes as it may be contaminated with corrosive acid.
