7 . Don't let the .other.end
touch metal. Connect it-
to the positive
(+)
terminal of the good
battery.
8. Now connect the
black negative
(-1
cable
to the good battery's
negative
(->
terminal.
Don't let the other end
touch anything until the
next step. The other end
of the negative cable
doesn't go to the dead
battery. It goes to.a heavy
unpaiked
ketal
part on
the engine .of the vehicle
with the dead battery.
9. Attach the cable at least
18 inches (45 cm) away
from the dead battery,
but not
near
engine
parts
that move.
The electrical
connection is just as
good there, but the
chance of sparks getting
-back to the battery is
much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it
won't start after a few tries, make sure all
connections are good. If it still won't start, it
probably needs service.
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engines .are running.
