covers, the intake manifold or electrical components as grounding points.

Note: In the illustration, the vehicle on the bottom is used to designate

the assisting (boosting) battery.

Ensure that the cables are clear of fan blades, belts, moving parts of both

engines, or any fuel delivery system parts.
