negative (−) battery cable from each battery.)

Batteries have acid that can burn you and
gas that can explode. You can be badly
hurt if you are not careful. See Jump
Starting on page 305 for tips on working
around a battery without getting hurt.
When you are ready to use the vehicle again,
refer to the engine starting procedure in the Index.
