COMMON ACTIONS AND UNIT RESPONSES
(cont’d)
JUMP-STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Turn off vehicle ignition and all
accessories (radio, A/C, lights,
connected cell phone chargers,
etc.), put vehicle in “park” and
set emergency brake.
Make sure the Jump-Starter
Power Switch is turned to OFF.
IMPORTANT –
To reduce the risk of
a spark near battery:
•
Stay clear of fan blades, pulleys,
and other parts that can cause
injury.
•
Check polarity of battery posts.
A positive (POS, P, +) battery post
usually has a larger diameter than
a negative (NEG, N, –) battery
post.
•
Remove jumper clamps from
clamp tabs.
NEVER
allow the DC
output clamps to touch
each other. This may
cause a spark.
Connect the positive (red)
clamp from battery booster to a
positive (POS, P, +) ungrounded
post of the battery.
Connect the negative (black)
clamp from the battery booster
to vehicle chassis (must be a
heavy gauge metal part
of the frame) or engine
block away from the battery.
DO NOT
connect the clamp to
carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet
metal body parts.
When the clamps are
connected properly, the backlit
LCD screen will display the
following to indicate the unit is
ready to jump-start:
The Battery Status icon, Battery
Voltage Indicator, Clamp Icons
and the “+” and”–” signs light
solid. The jump starter icon will
flash to indicate the clamps are
properly connected.
Turn the Jump-Starter Power
Switch on.
