Don’t let the other end of the negative
(-)
cable touch
anything until the next step. The other end of the
negative
(-)
cable
doesn’t
go to the dead battery. It goes
to a heavy unpainted metal
part
on
the engine of the
vehicle with the dead battery.
10.
Attach the cable at least
18
inches
(45
cm) away
from the dead battery,
but not near engine parts
that move. The electrical
connection is just as
good there, but the
chance of sparks getting
back to the battery
is
much less.
13.
Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting. Take care that they don’t touch
each other or any other metal.
