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 (+) will go to
positive (+) and negative (
-
) will go to a metal
engine part or some other well
-
grounded part. Don’t
connect positive (+) to negative (
-
) or you’ll get a
short that would damage the battery and maybe
other parts too.
CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engine is running.
6. Connect the red
positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal of
the vehicle with the
dead battery.
7. Don’t let the other
end touch metal.
Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal
of the good battery.
