5.Connecting to a negative-grounded system: Connect the red (POSITIVE) output clamp to the POSITIVE post of the battery. Rock and twist the clamp back and forth to be sure a solid electri- cal connection is made. Then connect the black (NEGATIVE) output clamp to a heavy, unpainted metal part of the chassis or engine block, away from the battery (see figure). DO NOT connect clamp to negative battery post, carbure- tor, fuel line or sheet metal part.
