What happens here

Position a running heavy-duty pickup truck (like the Ford F-250 shown) near the disabled heavy equipment (SDLG L918F loader). Open the hoods of both vehicles. Connect the red positive (+) jumper cable clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery on the loader. Connect the other red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the running truck's battery. Connect the black negative (-) jumper cable clamp to the negative (-) terminal of the running truck's battery. Finally, connect the other black negative (-) clamp to an unpainted metal surface on the engine block of the disabled loader, away from the battery. Allow the vehicles to charge for a few minutes. Then, attempt to start the loader. The video shows the loader successfully starting after this process.

Goal: Successfully start the disabled heavy equipment using another vehicle's battery.
