WARNING:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engine is running.
6. 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 (+) goes to
positive (+) or to a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one. Negative (
−
) will go to a
heavy, unpainted metal engine part or a solid
engine ground.
Do not connect positive (+) to negative (
−
) or you
will get a short that would damage the battery and
maybe other parts too. Do not connect the
negative (
−
) cable to the negative (
−
) terminal on
the dead battery because this can cause sparks.
7. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the vehicle with the dead
battery. Use a remote positive (+) if the vehicle
has one.
8. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to
the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote positive (+) if the vehicle has one.
9. Now connect the black negative (
−
) cable to the
negative (
−
) terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote negative (
−
) if the vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything until the
next step. The other end of the negative (
−
) cable
does not go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or to the remote
negative (
−
) terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
