I just went to pick get the bird that I recently purchased at the RV
storage lot. Batteries were at about 10amp, crank it a few times and
nothing, generator won't turn over either.

How can I jump it to get it home and charge/replace the batteries?
Thanks

Mike:

Open the battery compartment and there should be 2 posts along the top of
the compartment. one neg the other pos. You can jump it there.

Safe travels,

If it were mine I would jump the generator battery and then let the
generator and chargers charge up the batteries enough to start the
Cat 3208. Will take some time to charge up the engine/house battery
bank so the Cat will start.

Well the Batteries are 4 old Golf cart batteries and I could barely
find them through the corrosion. I guess I'll pick up 4 T105's and
get the battery compartment cleaned up next weekend.
Thanks for the help
