4 Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to change the battery) while the engine is running,

as this will immediately ruin the alternator. Always make sure that all the battery connections are

cleaned and properly tightened.

5 If any electrical welding work is performed on the vehicle, the ground lead and all the connecting

cables of the alternator must be disconnected and the welder wires placed as near the welding point as

possible.

Jump starting

CAUTION: Improper hook-up of jumper cables or the use of other than 12 volt batteries could result

in damage to equipment and/or battery.

Check that cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of negative circuit.

Note the position of the battery terminals. When using jumper cables, first connect booster battery

positive (+) terminal to car battery positive (+) terminal. Then connect booster battery negative (-)

terminal to a stationary solid metal part on the engine at a point away from the battery. Do not connect

booster cable to any part of fuel system or any moving parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
