Make sure none of the cables are dangling into the engine
compartment, where they could be exposed to moving
parts.
5. Start the working vehicle. Let it idle for a few minutes. Rev the
engine a little above idle for 30 to 60 seconds. You do this to
charge the battery in the dead vehicle. A good clean
connection between the battery cables and the battery
terminals is essential
6. Try to start the disabled vehicle. If it does not start, shut the
engine off and disconnect the last connection temporarily
while you slightly twist or wiggle each of the four clamps to
help ensure a good electrical connection. Restart the working
vehicle again. Allow another 5 minutes for charging before
attempting to start the disabled vehicle. If this does not work
after a few tries, you may need to have the vehicle towed or
the battery replaced
7. Remove the jumper cables once the vehicle starts. Do this in
the reverse of the order in which they were attached, and
don't let any of the cables or clamps touch each other (or
dangle into the engine compartment)
• Disconnect the black clamp from the grounded metal on
the dead vehicle
• Disconnect the black clamp from the negative (-) terminal of
the good battery
• Disconnect the red clamp from the positive (+) terminal of
the good battery
• Disconnect the red clamp from the positive (+) terminal of
the dead battery
Replace any positive (+) red post protective covers if applicable
(You have had to remove or open these in the beginning)
These covers help prevent accidental short circuiting of the
battery
8. Keep the recently-disabled vehicle's engine running. Run the
vehicle above idle (slightly revved up with your foot on the
accelerator). This should give the battery enough charge to
start the vehicle again. If it does not, you probably have a dead
battery or a dying alternator
Improper jump starting procedures can result in battery
explosion and acid burn hazard.
