making sure the two vehicles do not touch. Set the parking brake on
both vehicles. Stay clear of any moving parts on both vehicles that can
cause harm.

you attach the battery cables. Ensure that vent caps are tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.
