Vehicle Damage Warnings

NOTE: Never operate the starter motor for more than 30 seconds at a time. Allow it to cool for at least two minutes. Overheating, caused by too much cranking, will damage the starter motor.

NOTE: Do not use the boost, jump start, crank, or an equivalent setting that may be available on the battery charger for prolonged charging of the battery. Using such settings may damage the battery due to overheating, excessive gassing, or spewing of electrolyte from the vents.

NOTE: This vehicle has a 12 Volt, negative ground electrical system. Make sure the vehicle or equipment being used to jump start the engine is also 12 Volt, negative ground. Use of any other type of system will damage the vehicle's electrical components.
