CAUTION:
{
Fans or other moving engine parts can
injure you badly. Keep your hands away
from moving parts once the engine is
running.
5. Check that the jumper cables do not have
loose or missing insulation. If they do, you
could get a shock. The vehicles could
be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables, here are some
basic things you should know. Positive (+) will
go to positive (+) or to a remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle has one. Negative ( )
will go to a heavy, unpainted metal engine part
or to a remote negative ( ) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Do not connect positive (+) to negative ( ) or
you will get a short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts too. And do
not connect the negative ( ) cable to the
negative ( ) terminal on the dead battery
because this can cause sparks.
6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal location on the vehicle
with the dead battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect
it to the positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal
if the vehicle has one.
8. Now connect the black negative ( ) cable to
the negative ( ) terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote negative ( ) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything until the
next step. The other end of the negative ( )
cable does not go to the dead battery. It goes
to a heavy, unpainted metal engine part or to a
remote negative ( ) terminal on the vehicle with
the dead battery.
9. Connect the other end of the negative ( )
cable to the negative ( ) terminal location
on the vehicle with the dead battery.
Your vehicle has a remote negative ( )
terminal marked GND ( ).
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery
and run the engine for a while.
