Connecting the jumper cables

1. Position the vehicles so that they

do not touch one another.

2. Switch off the engine. Switch off

any unnecessary electrical

equipment.

3. Connect the positive (+) terminal

of the discharged battery (1) to the

positive (+) terminal of the booster

battery (2).

4. Connect one end of the second

lead to the negative (-) terminal of

the booster battery (3) and the

other end to a metal part of the

engine to be started (4), not to the

negative (-) terminal of the discharged battery.

5. Make sure that the jump leads are clear of moving parts of the engine.

Do not connect the end of the second cable to the negative (-)

terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may cause an

explosion of the gases that surround the battery.
