connect the positive lead of the
jumper cable to the positive terminal
on the battery in the vehicle and the
other end of the positive lead to the
positive terminal of the charged battery.
1. Jumper cable positive lead
2. Jumper cable negative lead
4. Connect the negative lead of the
jumper cable to the negative terminal
of the negative lead to an unpainted
metal surface of the vehicle.
