tive terminal (B) of the vehicle battery.

minal (C) of the starting aid battery to
the ground of the discharged vehicle,
e.g. to the engine block or to a bolt (D)
on the vehicle frame.
f Do not connect the starting aid cable to
the negative terminal of the discharged
battery! Danger of explosion!
m Lay the starting aid cable so that it can
be disconnected once the engine is running.
