RED
1. If the terminals on the batteries have any corrosion, you will need to use the wire brush and clean them off.
2. Start by clamping the positive jumper cable red clamp to the positive red terminal on the dead battery.
3. Connect the other positive red clamp to the positive red terminal onto the charged car battery.
* Make sure your remaining two clamps are not touching one another or you may short out the circuit or electrocute yourself.
4. Clamp the negative black clamp to the negative black terminal on the charged car battery.
5. Now attach the other negative clamp to an unpainted metal surface on the dead car's frame. This will provide the ground to the circuit and reduces the risk of explosion.
