those portables kick butt, but are hard to get onto a savage witht he battery still hooked up...
The chrome box below the seat holds the battery and some tools. Unlock the toolbox, and there should now be three, I think, screws that will allow you access to the battery. Now let's see what I can remember. Not much. you need to disconect the terminals. If I recall, disconnect the right side first, to prevent sparking when you touch the frame w/ something metal (tools).
You will likely need to disconnect the battery. A #2 philips screwdriver will work, but I like an 8 or 10 mm socket on an extension, 1/4" drive, better. Don't strip out the soft lead screws as much. Once you disconnect, yank the battery and charge it for a bit, reconnect the bat and see if it'll go. You will lielly need to remove the seat to disconnect the terminals. A 12 or 14mm socket will do the trick. Once the seat is off, you should be able to look straight down and see where the wires connect to the bat, kinda inside the frame.
May also be able to push start it in 2nd.
I doubt you can get the jump pack leads onto the savage's bat leads while the bat is still connected, which would be ideal.
If you can just get the left side lead connected to the bat terminal while the bat is hooked up, you can prolly just clamp the black/ground lead to the frame or engine and crank away.
Good luck (hope that wasn't too meandering!)
