How to jump start

November 14, 2024 By Rokkit

CMH MITSUBISHI PINETOWN can help you with all your vehicle needs, including jump-starting a flat battery. Here’s a step-by-step guide to safely jump-start your vehicle:

1. Gather your tools:

Good quality jumper leads: Ensure they are at least 500 amps.

A running vehicle: This will be used to jump-start your flat battery.

2. Prepare your vehicle:

Turn on headlights and interior blower fan: This helps prevent a voltage surge when disconnecting the jumper leads.

3. Connect the jumper leads:

Connect positive to positive: Connect the red jumper lead to the positive (+) terminal of both batteries.

Connect negative to engine mounting: Connect the black jumper lead to the negative (-) terminal of the running vehicle’s battery and to a metal part of the engine block on the flat battery vehicle. This provides a better earth connection than the battery terminal.

4. Start the running vehicle:

Rev the engine to 2000 RPM: This allows the running vehicle to put a little charge into the flat battery before attempting to start it.

5. Start the flat battery vehicle:

Attempt to start the vehicle: Turn the ignition key and try to start the engine.

6. Disconnect the jumper leads:

Once the vehicle starts: Turn off the running vehicle and carefully disconnect the jumper leads, ensuring your hands are away from moving engine parts.

Remember:

Always follow these steps carefully to avoid damaging your vehicle or causing injury.

If you’re unsure about jump-starting your vehicle, consult a professional mechanic at CMH MITSUBISHI PINETOWN.
