Check for any damage to the jumper cables or clamps; replace if damaged.
Clean the dead battery terminals to ensure good connectivity.
Verify the vehicle is in park or neutral gear and apply the parking brake.
Wear protective gear, such as gloves and safety goggles.
Ensure no electrical devices in the vehicle are in use to avoid power surges.
Locate the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on both batteries.

Following these steps ensures a safe and effective jump-starting process.

5.2 Connecting the Jumper Cables

Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on both the dead battery and the jump starter.
Attach one end of the positive (red) jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery.
Connect the other end of the positive cable to the positive terminal of the jump starter.
Attach one end of the negative (black) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the jump starter.
Connect the other end of the negative cable to a metal ground on the vehicle with the dead battery.

Ensure all connections are secure and proceed to start the working vehicle, then the dead one.
