Note that other Vector appliances may also be used with this jump-starter as long as they do not exceed

the 20-ampere limit of the jump-starter’s 12V DC accessory socket. For AC appliance operation we rec-

ommend the Vector VEC023 Power Inverter. It can be purchased separately and it powers AC appliances

to 175 Watts.

Warnings alert the user to hazardous conditions that can be harmful. Cautions alert the user to condi-

tions that can cause property damage. Notes are important operational information.

2.1 Review of Jump-start Warnings and Cautions

1. There is risk of explosive gas being released when batteries are improperly charged or discharged.

Failure to follow instructions may cause property damage, explosion hazard and/or personal injury.

2. Do not smoke while jump-starting.

3. Only attempt to jump-start a vehicle or boat in a well ventilated area.

4. This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles or boats with 12 volt DC battery systems.

5. Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle - friction can cause dangerous static

electricity sparks.

6. Remove all metal jewelry - this can cause short circuits. Always use protective eye wear when

jump-starting: contact with battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns.

7. Do not attempt to jump-start a frozen battery.

8. Keep out of reach of children.

9. Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-start-

ed. Before jump-starting this type of vehicle, read the vehicle’s owner’s manual to confirm that

external starting assistance is advised.

10. Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle’s starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the

recommended number of attempts, discontinue jump-start procedure and look for other problems that

may need to be corrected.

IF YOU HEAR AN AUDIBLE ALARM AND SEE THE RED LED LIGHT - DO NOT TURN ON THE SAFETY

SWITCH - THE POLARITY IS REVERSED. INTERCHANGE CLAMP POSITIONS.

chassis):

A. Connect positive (POS) (+) red clamp to vehicle battery’s POS (+) terminal.

B. Connect negative (-) black clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle

component or body part. DO NOT clamp directly to positive battery terminal or moving part.

If vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded System (positive battery terminal is connected to chassis):

Replace steps 11A and 11B (above) of the jump start procedure with the following steps A and B, and
