the automobile owner’s manual.
5. Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS
NOTE:
In 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 battery’s negative
terminal.
5b. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid,
non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never

Power Switch is turned on, the Engine Icon lights solid indicating
it is time to start the vehicle. Turn on the ignition and crank the
engine in 5-6 second bursts until engine starts. The backlit LCD
screen will display the following:
The Battery Status Icon, the Battery Voltage Indicator, Jump Starter
Icon, Clamp Icons and the “+” and”–” signs light solid to indicate
