Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the battery:

Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative (–) terminal of the

discharged battery is dangerous.

Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:

Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is

dangerous. The cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious

injury.
