 Output cable with clamps
Check first if the negative terminal is connected/grounded to the chassis.
If yes: Connect the red clamp (+) to the positive terminal (+) of the battery,
then connect the black clamp (-) to the earth/chassis of the vehicle (a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block. Do not connect to the
carburetor or fuel lines).
If not: For a positive-grounded vehicle (very rare case or old-timer), connect
the black clamp (-) to the negative terminal (-) of the battery, then connect the
red clamp (+) to the earth/chassis of the vehicle (a heavy gauge metal part of
the frame or engine block. Do not connect to the carburetor or fuel lines).

Loosen and remove each nut from the bolts at the battery terminals. Connect
