How to Jump Start a Ford Super Duty

1. Pull back the red rubber boot and attach the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery.
2. Attach the other end of the positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster vehicle battery.
3. Attach the negative (-) jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the booster vehicle battery.
4. Make the final negative (-) connection to the jump start stud, not to any other part of the vehicle.
5. Start the booster vehicle and keep engine speed between 2000 RPM and 3000 RPM, then start the disabled vehicle.
6. Run both engines for three more minutes, then remove the cables in the reverse order of connection.

• Use only a 12 volt supply and park the booster vehicle close without the two vehicles touching.
• Do not use the hood latch as the negative (-) connection point.
• With a jump pack or booster box, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
