Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arbo" data-source="post: 55873" data-attributes="member: 3783">I run an LX885, and have had the same issue with trying to jump start it.  I installed an insulated lug inside the rear door that connects to the positive side of the battery with a number 4 cable.  Now all I need to do for a jump is clamp to that lug, and the ground to a clean spot on the chassis.  Saved my bacon a few times when the battery was getting weak.  I also try to always park it with the boom up, and the boom lock engaged.  That decision came after I replaced the starter with the boom down last winter.  Not a fun job sitting on top of the engine, sorta standing on your head to get the starter out and back in in 20 degree F weather. A note on jumper cables...Buy a set with at least four gauge wire.  You'll be happy you did!</blockquote>
