7.
Don’t let the other
end touch metal.
Connect
it
to
the
positive
(+)
terminal
of the good battery.
8.
Now connect the black
negative
(-)
cable to
the good battery’s
negative
(-)
terminal.
Don‘t let the other end
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.
9.
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.
10.
Now start the vehicle with the good battery and
run the engine for
a
while.
11.
Try to start the vehicle
with
the dead battery.
If
it
won’t start after a few tries, make sure all
connections are good.
If
it
still won’t start, it
probably needs service.
A
CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engines are running.
