1. Safety Measures:
- Ensure both the ATV and the car are turned off and parked on level ground.
- Wear protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection.
2. Identify Battery Terminals:
- Locate the battery on your Honda ATV. It's usually under the seat or in the front storage compartment.
- Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on both the ATV battery and the car battery.
3. Connect Jumper Cables:
- Connect one end of the red (positive) jumper cable to the positive terminal of the ATV battery.
- Connect the other end of the red cable to the positive terminal of the car battery.
- Connect one end of the black (negative) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the car battery.
- Connect the other end of the black cable to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the ATV frame, away from the battery and fuel lines.
4. Start the Car:
- Start the car and let it run for a few minutes. This will help charge the ATV battery.
5. Attempt to Start the ATV:
- Try to start the ATV. If it starts, let it run for a few minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.
6. Disconnect Jumper Cables:
- Disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order you connected them.
7. Test ATV Battery:
- After jump-starting, let the ATV run for a while to charge its battery. Turn on the headlights or any other electrical components to check if the battery is providing enough power.
8. Recharge ATV Battery:
- If the ATV battery is still weak, consider using a battery charger to fully recharge it.
Remember, this is just a general guideline. Always refer to the specific owner's manuals for both the ATV and the car for detailed instructions and safety guidelines specific to your models.
