4. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTION TO A BATTERY
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
4.1. Attach the output cables to the battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the output
clamps to touch each other.
4.2. Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot engine
parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the jump starting process, ensure that the
hood does not touch the metal part of the battery clamps or cut the insulation of the cables.
4.3. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
4.4. Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post
is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 4.5. If the positive post is grounded to
the chassis, see step 4.7.
4.5. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect first the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the booster to the
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp
to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
4.6. When disconnecting the booster, first remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, then remove
the clamp from the battery terminal, in that order.
4.7. In the rare event that the vehicle is positive-grounded, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp
from the booster to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect
the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
