connection to a steel bracket
bolted to the engine block.
• This last connection should be as
far away from the battery as
possible.
• Connecting the jumper cable to the
negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery could result in
arcing and possibly a battery ex-
plosion. Serious personal injury or
vehicle damage can result.

ground, such as a steel bracket bolted
to the engine block.
5. The engine of the vehicle providing the
jump start can be allowed to run during
