OhioRick is correct. Connect the doner battery first. Put one lead anywhere on the body (ground terminal on the battery is fine) and the other lead you can just hold firmly on either end of the cable that between the solenoid and the starter. Starter will start cranking as soon as you make contact. That cable is isolated from your 6 volt circuit unless you hit the starter button.
