6. Determine the ground system of your vehicle.
• If vehicle to be started has a negative ground system (this is most common):
a. Connect the red (+) cable clamp first to the vehicle’s positive (red) battery terminal.
b. Next, connect the black (−) clamp to the vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving,
metal vehicle component. DO NOT clamp directly to negative battery terminal or a
moving part.
• If vehicle to be started has the positive battery terminal connected to chassis (this is rare
and usually found in older car models from the 1950s or earlier):
a. Connect the black (−) clamp first to vehicle battery’s negative (black) terminal.
b. Connect red (+) clamp to the vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle
component. DO NOT clamp directly to positive battery terminal or a moving part.
7. The unit will sound an alarm if the cables are not connected to the correct battery terminals.
If you hear an alarm, DO NOT TURN ON THE JUMPER SAFETY SWITCH!
• Cable clamps need to be reversed.
• Disconnect the black clamp first then the red clamp.
• Reconnect and listen for the alarm again.
8. If there is no alarm, turn on the Jumper Safety Switch.
• Inside the vehicle, turn on the ignition switch and attempt to start the engine.
• Crank a maximum of 3 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait 3 minutes before the
next attempt.
• After the engine starts, disconnect the clamps in the reverse order of connection prior to
jumpstarting.
9. Be sure that the cables and clamps are securely stored.
10. Recharge the Battery Jumper as soon as convenient.
AIR COMPRESSOR
This Battery Jumper is equipped with an air compressor that can provide up to 150 PSI (pounds
per square inch) of pressure for a variety of uses such as vehicle tires and sports equipment.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to over inflate, monitor the compressor gauge while inflating. Never
connect or disconnect the nozzle with the compressor operating. To avoid overheating, do
not operate the air compressor for more than 10 minutes at a time. After 10 minutes, allow the
compressor to cool for 15 minutes before using again.
Procedure
In the event that the vehicle tire is completely flat, raise the vehicle using a recommended jack
before inflating the tire.
1. Before any tire inflation, look for manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure.
2. Unwind and extend the air hose from the bottom, back side of the unit.
3. Position the Battery Jumper so that you can see the pressure gauge.
