3. Connect the negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal of the

assisting battery.

4. Make the final connection of the negative (-) cable to an exposed

metal part of the stalled vehicle’s engine, away from the battery and the

carburetor.

The preferred locations of an exposed metal part (to ground the circuit)

are the alternator mounting brackets or an engine lifting eye. Do not

use fuel lines, engine rocker covers or the intake manifold as grounding

points.

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.

5. Be sure that the cables are clear of fan blades, belts and other moving

parts of both engines.
