jumpstart channels by squeezing the clamp handle and pulling out. Securely connect the red positive
clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery. Then, securely connect the black clamp to a
grounding point on the vehicle such as the metal frame, as far away from the battery as possible. DO
NOT connect it to the negative battery terminal. Make sure both clamps have good contact.
Jumpstart is equipped with a Reverse Polarity indicator light. If the cables are hooked up incorrectly the
red light will illuminate to provide a visual warning. If this happens, disconnect the cables and reconnect
