Winter tip

USING jumper cables to start a car with a dead battery .is a familiar scene in the winter. It ^ is also a dangerous scene. Too -/1 often the battery explodes causing eye damage, facial disfigurement, and even death. The Virginia Society for the Prevention of Blindness urges motorists to use the correct procedures in jump starting a car to avoid possible tragedy.

The first step is to remove the vent caps of both batteries and cover the vents with a cloth. Attach the red cable to the positive terminal of the “dead” battery, then to the positive terminal of the “live” (booster) battery. Next, the black cable should be attached to the negative terminal of the “live” battery, then to the engine block of the car with the “dead” battery. The steps should be reversed in removing the cables. Before attempting to “jump start” a foreign car, read the owner’s manual. □
