things you should know. Positive (+) will go to
positive (+) and negative (

) will go to a heavy,

unpainted metal engine part or a body metal surface.
Don’t connect positive (+) to negative (

get a short that would damage the battery and maybe
other parts, too. Also, don’t connect the negative (

cable to the negative (

CAUTION:

Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts

terminal if the vehicle
has one.
