CAUTION
Fans
or
other
moving
engine
parts
can
injure
you
badly.
Keep
your
hands
away
from
moving
parts
once
the
engine
is
running.
5.
Check
that
the
jumper
cables
do
not
have
loose
or
missing
insulation.
If
they
do,
you
could
get
a
shock.
The
vehicles
could
also
be
damaged.
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.
Do
not
connect
positive
(+)
to
negative
(
−
)
or
you
will
get
a
short
that
would
damage
the
battery
and
maybe
other
parts.
Do
not
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
on
the
vehicle
with
the
dead
battery.
Use
a
remote
positive
(+)
terminal
if
the
vehicle
has
one.
7.
Do
not
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.
Do
not
let
the
other
end
touch
anything
until
the
next
step.
The
other
end
of
the
negative
(
−
)
cable
does
not
go
to
the
dead
battery.
It
goes
to
a
heavy,
unpainted
metal
engine
part
or
to
a
remote
negative
(
−
)
terminal
on
the
vehicle
with
the
dead
battery.
9.
Connect
the
other
end
of
the
negative
(
−
)
cable
away
from
the
dead
battery,
but
not
near
engine
parts
that
move.
The
electrical
connection
is
just
as
good
there,
and
the
chance
of
sparks
getting
back
to
the
battery
is
much
less.
