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 surface. Don't
connect positive (+) to negative (
-) or you will get a
short that would damage the battery and maybe other
parts, too. And don't connect the negative (
-)
to negative (
-).
CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engine is running.
6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the vehicle with the dead battery. Or use
a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
