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
(+)
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.
Don’t connect positive
(+)
to negative
(-)
or you’ll
get a short that would damage the battery and
maybe other parts, too. And don’t 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
of
the dead battery. Use a remote
positive
(+)
terminal
if
the vehicle has one.
