The starting aid function of the power pack is designed only for vehicles with a 12 V on-board voltage.
Before using, consult the operating instructions of your vehicle to determine whether, and if so, how

the red (+) pole calliper, coil the cable and attach the pole calliper to the designated holder. Always maintain this sequence.
Recharge the power pack.
6.6 ATTEMPTING TO START
Start the motor. Do not operate the starter for longer than 6 seconds. The battery of the power pack is not designed for longer
starting attempts. Pause for at least 5 minutes between two starting attempts. If the motor does not start after a number of
attempts, abort the process and investigate the cause of the defect.
