CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engine is running.
5. Check that the jumper cables don’t 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 (+) will go to
positive (+) or to a remote positive (+) terminal
if the vehicle has one. Negative (
-
) will go to a
heavy, unpainted metal engine part or to a remote
negative (
-
) terminal if the vehicle has one.
Don’t connect positive (+) to negative (
-
) or you’ll
get a short that would damage the battery and maybe
other parts too. And don’t connect the negative (
-
)
cable to the negative (
-
) terminal on the dead battery
because this can cause sparks.
6. Connect the red
positive (+) cable to
the positive (+) terminal
of the dead battery. Use
a remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.
7. Don’t let the other end
touch metal. Connect it
to the positive (+)
terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal
if the vehicle has one.
