Here are the steps:
- Turn ignition off before making cable connections.
- Clamp the positive (red +) clamp to the positive terminal on the vehicle battery
(for negative ground system), or an alternate vehicle starting point as
recommended by vehicle manufacturer. - Clamp the negative (black –) clamp to the vehicle ground (non-moving metal part,
such as the vehicle frame). - Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving engine parts (belts, fans, etc.).
- Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition). If the vehicle doesn’t start within 6 seconds, let the jump starter cool

vehicle frame and return it to its holster.
