end to the frame of the disabled vehicle at least 18 inches (450 mm) away from the battery. Do not attach the
other end directly to the battery negative (–) terminal because a spark could occur and cause explosion of gases
normally present around the battery.

the engine at moderate speed.
8. Start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Remove the battery cables by reversing the above sequence exactly.
