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.
5-46
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.
6. Connect the red
positive (+) cable to
the positive (+) terminal
of the dead battery. Use
a remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.
