• Ensure the battery terminals are clean and the clamps are firm and
secure.
• Remove any vehicle battery filler plugs and check the electrolyte
level. If necessary, top up with distilled water.
• Ensure the area is well ventilated.
• Take great care not to touch the red positive (+) clamp against the
black negative (-) clamp.
1. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal first.
Take care the clamp does not contact any moving parts or fuel lines.
3. Connect the black negative (-) clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal
or to a suitable earthing point on the vehicle chassis ensuring the
connections are firm and secure.
4. Switch the Jump-start, then the vehicle ignition ‘ON’ and leave in this
condition
FOR APPROX TWO MINUTES.
(This will provide the vehicle battery
with a short ‘boost’ charge to allow for easier starting).
5. Switch the ignition to ‘start’, for NO MORE than 6 seconds.
• If the engine does not start, within this time, SWITCH OFF the ignition
and wait for at least 3 minutes before trying again to prevent
damage to the jumpstarter due to overheating before trying again.
After this cooling off period, it is safe to resume trying to start the
vehicle.
6. Once the vehicle has started, turn the jump-start ON/OFF switch OFF.
7. Once the engine is running, disconnect the earthed clamp FIRST i.e. that
connected to the chassis or Negative terminal etc, and return it to its
storage position, then disconnect the Positive clamp from the battery
terminal, and restore to its storage position.
8. After use, always recharge the jump-start. If the battery is allowed to
remain in a discharged state, its life may be shortened.
9. Regularly check the charge level of the battery by pressing the TEST push-
button on the front panel.
WARNING: IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT COULD BE
DAMAGED BY JUMP STARTING. ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE CAR
MANUFACTURER’S HANDBOOK TO DETERMINE WHAT PRECAUTIONS IF
ANY SHOULD BE TAKEN.
