3.12. Engine start-up from external sources of a current

If it is not possible to start up the engine because of the partial or full category of the storage battery, for start-up it is possible to use the storage battery of other car. For battery connection - "donor" use special connecting cables with crocodile type clips.

Preventions At engine start-up from the additional storage battery carefully observe the sequence of work stated in this subsection. Otherwise there can be an ignition or explosion that will lead to damage of both cars. Before connection of the external storage battery be convinced that ignition is switched off. Switch off also all consumers of the electric power (headlights, an autoradio tape recorder, screen wipers, etc.). At connection and a detachment of wires do not allow their mutual contact, and also contact of wires with fans, driving belts or other rotating details. Do not disconnect a wire of the external storage battery until the engine will not start to work at normal turns of idling. If during engine start-up from the additional storage battery you left an audiosystem included, it can seriously be damaged. Always switch off an audiosystem before engine start-up from the storage battery of other car.

1. Establish the car with the discharged storage battery near the car - "donor" within reach of connecting cables.

Prevention Cars should not adjoin at all. Otherwise there can be an undesirable short circuit on "weight" therefore you cannot start up the car engine with the discharged storage battery, and electrosystems of both cars can receive damages.

2. Brake both cars the parking brake.

3. Check electrolit level in the discharged battery (see. «Service of the storage battery»).

Prevention If level of electrolit is strongly lowered or the electrolit looks frozen, do not try to start up the engine from the additional storage battery. In this case explosion of the discharged battery room of the battery is possible!

4. Attach a clip of a connecting cable with handles of red color to the plus plug of the discharged battery.	5. The second clip of a cable with red handles attach to the battery plus plug - "donor".

Note For descriptive reasons operation is shown on the removed storage battery.

6. A clip of the second cable (with black handles) attach to the battery minus plug - "donor"...	7.... and the second clip of a cable with black handles — to "mass" of the car with the discharged battery in a place located at the greatest possible distance from the battery. It is most convenient to attach a clip to "mass" of the engine, for example to an assembly loop.

Note The requirement of accession of a wire at the maximum distance from the battery is caused by iskreniye possibility at the moment of accession.

8. Be convinced that you attached cables in the correct sequence and they do not adjoin to mobile details of the engine.

9. When using the battery established on the car - "donor", start up the engine of this car and let's to it work some minutes idling till steady work.

10. Start up the car engine with the discharged storage battery and let's to it work to steady turns of idling.

11. Disconnect cables as it should be, strictly the return to an order of their accession.
