4. CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY
1) Identify polarity of battery posts. The positive battery terminal is typically marked by these letters or
symbol (POS,P,+). The negative battery terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol (NEG,N,-).
2) Do not make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin metal parts.
3) Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by identifying which
battery post (NEG or POS) is connected to the chassis.
4) For a negative grounded vehicle (most common): connect the RED POSITIVE jumper clamp first to the
positive battery terminal, then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE jumper clamp to the negative battery
terminal or vehicle chassis.
5) For a positive grounded vehicle (very uncommon): connect the BLACK NEGATIVE jumper clamp first to
the negative battery terminal, then connect the RED POSITIVE jumper clamp to the positive battery
terminal or vehicle chassis.
6) When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the negative first (or positive first for
positive ground systems).
5. JUMP STARTING
1) This unit is only for emergency use, not for frequent commercial use! ENGINE START socket is ALWAYS
activated! Do not attempt to jumpstart your vehicle when the HYPS-400 battery capacity is below 25%
(battery status indicator: 1 solid LED lit).
2) Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (radios, lights, air conditioners, etc.), and disconnect
electronic devices.
3) Connect the jumper clamps to the correct polarity battery terminals.
4) Connect the EC5 plug of jumper cables to the ENGINE START socket of HYPS-400.
5) Try starting the vehicle (turn on the ignition switch). Most vehicles will immediately start. Stop if the
vehicle does not start after 5 seconds of engine cranking. The jumpstart feature is designed for short
term operation only, and more than 5 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the jump starter to
cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jumpstarting.
6) Disconnect the cable from the HYPS-400 immediately after engine starts, and then remove from battery
terminals.
