If you have another 24v vehicle, just hook the jump leads from the +ve on one battery and the -ve on the other to the same on the disabled car. (obviously dont connect to the two terminals that are connecting the 2 batteries)
If you have a 12v vehicle to jump it off, measure the voltage of both batts on the disabled vehicle and hook the jump leads from that battery to the one on the running car.
does that make sense?

This might help (or it might not, lol)
you only need 2 jump leads (red and black in the pic)

and if you need to jump it off a 12v vehicle (it can be done but is easier if one battery still has a bit of life in it or if they are both only slightly low)

I cant see a problem useing the other 24 volt to jump start . As long as you put 24 volts to the output lead ( starter motor) it should work no dramas.
Cheers
24v

When I had a 24v system in my old nissan I found I could jump off a 12v battery only hooking up to one of the two in my car. If it doesn't work on one hook up to the other instead.
