5.Check that the jumper cables don't have loose or missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could also be damaged.

Before you connect the cables, here are some basic 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 (-) or you'll get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too. Also, don't connect the negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal on the dead battery.

CAUTION:

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

6.Connect the red positive (+) cable to the remote positive (+) terminal of the vehicle with the dead battery.

7.Don't let the other end of the cable touch metal. Connect it to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
