START A VEHICLE WHEN THE BATTERY FLUID IS
BELOW THE TOP OF LEAD PLATES. DO NOT
ALLOW JUMPER CABLE CLAMPS TO TOUCH
EACH OTHER WHEN CONNECTED TO A BOOSTER
SOURCE. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME NEAR BAT-
TERY. REMOVE METALLIC JEWELRY WORN ON
HANDS OR WRISTS TO AVOID INJURY BY ACCI-
DENTAL ARCING OF BATTERY CURRENT. WHEN
USING A HIGH OUTPUT BOOSTING DEVICE, DO
NOT ALLOW BATTERY VOLTAGE TO EXCEED 16
VOLTS. REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED
WITH DEVICE BEING USED.
CAUTION: When using another vehicle as a
booster, do not allow vehicles to touch. Electrical
systems can be damaged on either vehicle.

TOWING RECOMMENDATIONS
A veh icle equipped wit h an SAE a ppr oved Wh eel-
lift towin g device ca n be used to tow a ll Ch er okee
vehicles (Fig. 2). When towin g a 4WD veh icle, u se
tow dollies u n der th e opposite en d of t he veh icle. A
vehicle wit h a fla t-bed device can also be u sed t o
tr an spor t a disa bled vehicle.
NOTE: A vehicle equipped with a SAE approved
sling type towing device can be used to tow a Cher-
okee with the rear end lifted, provided the Cherokee
is not equipped with a factory installed trailer tow
package. Damage to the harness connector bracket
may result from sling contact.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: Never attempt to modify suspension or
steering components by heating or bending.
NOTE: Periodic lubrication of the front suspension/
steering system components may be required. Rub-
ber bushings must never be lubricated. Refer to
