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.
8.
Now connect the black
negative
(-)
cable
to
the
negative
(-)
terminal
of
the good battery. Use
a remote negative
(-)
terminal
if
the vehicle
has one.
