Connect  the   first   jumper   cable   from   the positive  (+)  (Red)  terminal  on  one  battery to  the  positive  (+)  (Red)  terminal  on  the other battery.  Never connect (+) (Red) to (-) (Black), or (-) to (+). b. Next, connect the other end of the second jumper  cable  to  a  stationary  solid  metallic point  on  the  engine  of  the  truck  with  the discharged  battery.    (Not  to  negative  (-) terminal     of     the     battery).          Make     this connection  at  a  point  at  least  18  inches (450    mm)    away    from    the     battery,     if possible.      Do   not   connect   it   to   pulleys, fans,  or  other  parts  that  move.    Be  sure not    to    touch    hot    manifolds    which    can cause severe burns. 6. Start  the  engine  on  the  truck  with  the  booster battery, and run the engine at a moderate speed WARNING Remove all jewelry such as rings, dog tags, bracelets, etc. If jewelry contacts    battery    terminal,    a    direct short may result in instant heating of tools,    damage    to    equipment,    and injury or death to personnel. 7. Start the engine of the truck with the discharged battery.    Follow  the  starting  instructions  in  the "Know The Truck" section of this manual.  Make sure   that   the   engine   is   at   idle   speed   before disconnecting the jumper cables. 8.
