Jump Starting
BEFORE YOU JUMP
•
Read all instructions and safety information prior to using this product.
•
Read the owner’s manual of your equipment; it may have specific instructions on how to jump start.
•
This product is for use on 12V or 24V lead-acid batteries ONLY.
•
Turn off excess electronics, as this is an unnecessary power draw on your dead battery and helps minimize
chances of a surge.
•
Remove any accessories, tools or USB devices attached to your Crankenstein unit.

During the jump start process, you will see timers on the
OLED screen. This is to let you know how much time you
have to perform the action on-screen before the unit
automatically shuts off to preserve power.
