   It has been a long time since I had or gave someone else a Jump that I had to   
   try remembering the procedure.   
      
   Here is what came to My mind:   
   1 attach a Red clamp to the Positive post of the good battery.   
   2 put the other Red clamp on the Positive post of the battery that needs the   
   jump.   
   3 put a Black clamp on the battery that needs the jump.   
   4 put the other Black clamp on a piece of bare metal on your car that is away   
   from the battery (in case your battery explodes).
