With everything connected wait 3-4 minutes to equalise the voltages Now start the engine on the good vehicle and run for a minute or so. With the engine still running, start the other vehicle and run both for ten minutes on a fast idle speed. Do not disconnect the jump leads until you have turned the ignition off both vehicles, then take the jump leads off in the reverse order to how they were connected. Do not let the jump leads get hot, Turn off both engines and allow the leads to cool.
