4.4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the
negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 4.5. If the
positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 4.6.

(BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not
connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a
heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
4.6 For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the booster
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE
(RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect
the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
