moving parts inside the engine compartment. Connect the
terminal clamps of the leads in the following order:
1. Positive lead (red) to positive terminal of drained battery.
2. Positive lead (red) to positive terminal of good battery.
3. Negative lead (black) to negative terminal of good
battery.
4. Negative lead (black) to a suitable earthing point (e.g.
earth strap or engine block) of vehicle with drained
battery.
