Operation

Jump starting a vehicle’s engine

You can use the power pack to jump start a vehicle (or boat engine) that has

a 12V starting battery using the jump start cables supplied with the unit.

WARNING: Fire Hazard

A reverse polarity connection may cause damage to the unit and/or create a

sparking/explosion hazard. Never allow cables’ red and black clamps to touch

each other or another common metal conductor. The connection of the

cables to the vehicle’s battery terminals must be positive to positive (red

clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to battery “-“ or

vehicle chassis).

NOTE: Carefully follow these instructions for jump starting your vehicle as

they may be different from the instructions supplied with other jump start

products or cables.

To jump start a vehicle:

1. Turn off the vehicle and all accessories.

2. Place the unit on a flat and stable surface near the battery which need to be

boosted. Ensure that the unit’s jump start power switch is “OFF”.

3. Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the cables to the positive (+)

terminal of the engine battery.

4. Connect the black negative (-) clamp of the cables to the engine block,

cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor. If the red

“Reverse Polarity” LED illuminates, then reverse polarity has been detected.

Correct polarity must be established before proceeding. Disconnect the

jump starting clamps from the vehicle’s battery and repeat steps (3) and (4).

5. Switch on the jump start power switch. Before starting the engine, make

sure the jumpstarter pack and the cables are clear of the metal parts and

other moving things.

6. Crank the engine for 5 seconds or until it starts, whichever is first.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Do not try to start the engine for more than 5 seconds. The jump start

feature is designed for short term operation only. Operating the jump

starting feature for more than 5 seconds may cause damage to the unit.

Allow the unit to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each start attempt.
