Hook up the positive battery terminal first then the ground. Make sure you know wich cable is wich. The ground ( usually black on American cars, brown on European ) will lead from the battery negative pole to the body of the car or be grounded on the engine probably near the alternator. The positive cable ( usually red on American cars, black on European cars) will lead to the starter solenoid. If you aren't sure consult your repair or owner's manual but don't get them backwards whatever you do.
