JUMP-STARTER
This Jump-Starter is equipped with an ON/OFF Power Switch. Once the connections are properly made, turn the
switch ON to jump-start the vehicle.
1.Turn OFF vehicle ignition and all accessories (radio, A/C, lights, connected cell phone chargers, etc.). Place
vehicle in “park” and set the emergency brake.
2.Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch is turned to OFF.
3.Remove jumper clamps from clamp tabs. Connect the red clamp first, then the black clamp.
4.Procedure for jump-starting a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (negative battery terminal is connected to chassis)
(MOST COMMON)
4a.Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle battery’s positive terminal.
4b.Connect negative (–) black clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body
part. Never clamp directly to negative battery terminal or moving part. Refer to the automobile owner’s
manual.
5.Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS
Note:
In the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded System (positive battery terminal is
connected to chassis), replace steps 4a and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.
5a.Connect negative (–) black clamp to vehicle battery’s negative terminal.
5b.Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body
part. Never clamp directly to Positive battery terminal or moving part. Refer to the automobile owner’s
manual.
6.When clamps are connected properly, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch to ON.
7.Turn ON the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until engine starts.
8.Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch back to the OFF position.
9.Disconnect the negative (–) engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect the positive (+) battery clamp.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THIS MANUAL.
CAUTIONS: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE
• If the connections to the battery’s positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the Reverse Polarity Indicator
will light (red) and the unit will sound a beep. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• If vehicle fails to start, turn OFF the ignition, turn OFF the Jump-Starter Power Switch, disconnect the jump-start
system’s leads and contact a qualified technician to investigate why the engine did not start.
• Recharge this unit fully after each use.
WARNINGS
• Jump-Starter Power Switch should be off prior to jump-starting.
• This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles with 12 volt DC battery systems.
• Never touch red and black clamps together — this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before
jump-starting this type of vehicle, read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is advised.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle‘s starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the
recommended number of attempts, discontinue jump-start procedure and look for other problems that need to
be corrected.
• After use, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch OFF.
• Replace worn or defective parts immediately — contact the Customer Service Department toll free
1-800-544-6986.

Controls and Indicators
CHARGING/RECHARGING
This product has a sealed lead acid battery. For maximum battery life, we recommend the Jump-Starter be kept
fully charged at all times. Recharge before first use, immediately after each use, and once a month if not used.
Failure to do this may reduce the battery life dramatically. To check the battery charge status at any time, press
the Battery Charge Level Pushbutton.
When the battery is overly discharged and if the green LED is lit when the charger is plugged in, this indicates the
battery is at a high impedance stage.
In this event, recharge the unit and leave the unit on charge for a period of 24-48hrs before using the unit.
