Before you connect the cables, here are some things you should\
know. Positive
(t) will go to positive (t) and negative, (-) will go to a negative
(-) or a metal engine part. Don't connect (t) to (-) or you'll get a
short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too\
.
/ Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you badly. Keep \
your
hands away from moving parts once the engines are running.
6. Connect the red positive (t) cable to the positive (t) terminal of the
Y
vehicle with the dead battery. Use a remote positive (t) terminal if the
vehicle has one.

Don't let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the positi\
ve (t)
terminal of the good battery. Use a remote positive (t) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
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. T\
he 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.
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.

11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery.
If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs service.

care that they don’t touch each other or any other metal.
