CAUTION:

Using a match near a battery can cause
battery gas to explode. People have been
hurt doing this, and some have been
blinded. Use a flashlight if you need more
light.

Be sure the battery has enough water.
You do not need to add water to the
battery installed in your new vehicle. 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. Do not connect the negative (

)

cable to the negative (

) terminal on the dead

battery because this can cause sparks.
