• Never touch red and black clamps together — this can cause dangerous

sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.

• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if

vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting this type of vehicle,
read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is
advised.

• 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 need
to be corrected.

• After use, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch OFF.

• Replace worn or defective parts immediately — contact the Customer

Service Department toll free 1 800-544-6986.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

This product has a sealed lead acid battery that should be kept fully charged.
Recharge before first use, immediately after each use, and every 60 days if not
used. Failure to do this may reduce the battery life dramatically.

Note: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it 

before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be 48 hours.

Charging/Recharging

Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long
battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more
rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic
charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in
use, Black & Decker recommends that the battery is recharged at least every 60
days.
Check the battery charge level by pressing the battery status button. The LED
charge status display will indicate the level of battery charge. When only one red
LED lights, recharge the unit. 

When the battery is overly discharged and if the green LED is lit when the charger is plugged in, this indicates the
battery is at a high impedance stage. 
In this event, recharge the unit and leave the unit on charge for a period of 48hrs before using the unit. 

Note: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy

discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.

The battery can be recharged using an AC adapter (see below).

4. Procedure for jump-starting a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (negative

battery terminal is connected to chassis) (MOST COMMON)
4a. Connect POSITIVE (+) RED clamp to vehicle batteryʼs POSITIVE

terminal.

4b. Connect NEGATIVE (–) BLACK clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving,

metal vehicle component or body part. NEVER CLAMP DIRECTLY TO
NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL OR MOVING PART.

5. Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS

Note: I

n the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a POSITIVE GROUNDED

SYSTEM (positive battery terminal is connected to chassis), replace steps 4a and
4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.

5a. Connect NEGATIVE (–) BLACK clamp to vehicle batteryʼs NEGATIVE

terminal.

5b. Connect POSITIVE (+) RED CLAMP to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-

moving, metal vehicle component or body part. NEVER CLAMP
DIRECTLY TO POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL OR MOVING PART.

6. When clamps are connected properly, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch to

ON.

7. Turn ON the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until engine

starts.

8. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch back to the OFF position.
9. Disconnect the NEGATIVE (–) engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect

the POSITIVE (+) battery clamp.

FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THE FRONT OF THIS
MANUAL.

CAUTION:

• If the audible Reverse Connection Polarity Alarm sounds after clamps are

connected to vehicle battery, reverse clamp connections.

• If vehicle fails to start, turn OFF the ignition, turn OFF the Jump-Starter

Power Switch, disconnect the jump-start system’s leads and investigate
why the engine did not start.

• Recharge this unit fully after each use.

WARNING:

• Jump-Starter Power Switch should be OFF prior to jump-starting.

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