CAUTION:

(Continued)

But if a battery has filler caps, be sure the
right amount of fluid is there. If it is low,
add water to take care of that first. If you
do not, explosive gas could be present.

Battery fluid contains acid that can burn
you. Do not get it on you. If you
accidentally get it in your eyes or on your
skin, flush the place with water and get
medical help immediately.

{

CAUTION:

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

5. Check that the jumper cables do not 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.
Do not connect positive (+) to negative (

) or

you will get a short that would damage
the battery and maybe other parts too. And do
not 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.

7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect

it to the positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one.
