4.
Open both hoods and locate the batteries. Find
the positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
terminals
on
each battery.
Using a match near a battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded. Use a flashlight
if‘
you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water. You
don’t need to add water to the Delco Freedom@
battery installed in every new
GM
vehicle. But
if
a
battery has filler caps, be sure the right
amount of fluid is there.
If
it is low, add water
to take care
of
that first.
If
you don’t, explosive
gas could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don’t get it on you.
If
you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush the place with
water and get medical help immediately.
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
(+)
and negative
(-)
will go to
an
unpainted
metal engine part
or
a
body metal surfice. Don’t
connect positive
(+)
to negative
(-j
or
you’ll get
a
short that would damage the battery and maybe other
parts too. And don‘t connect the negative
(-)
to
negative
(-).
6.
Connect the I-ed
positive
(+)
cable to the
positive
(+)
terminal
of
the vehicle
with
the
dead battery.
