Jeep Wrangler: Jump Starting Procedure / Connecting The Jumper Cables
- Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper
cable to the remote positive (+) post of the
discharged vehicle.
- Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
booster battery.
- Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper
cable to the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
- Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to a good engine ground. A
“ground” is an exposed metallic/unpainted
part of the engine, frame or chassis, such as
an accessory bracket or large bolt. The
ground must be away from the battery and
the fuel injection system.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause the
battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.
- Start the engine in the vehicle that has the
booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then start the engine in the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
CAUTION!
Do not run the booster vehicle engine above
2,000 RPM since it provides no charging
benefit, wastes fuel, and can damage booster
vehicle engine.
- Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure
could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could
result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle...
Disconnect the negative (-) end of the
jumper cable from the engine ground of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Disconnect the opposite end of the negative
(-) jumper cable from the negative (-) post of
the booster battery...
