18 inches (45 cm) away
from the dead battery,
but
not near engine parts
that move.
The electrical
connection
is just as
good there, but the
chance
of sparks getting
-back
to the battery is
much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.

If it
won’t start after
a few tries, make sure all
connections are
good. If it still won’t start, it
probably needs service.

badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engines .are running.
