PORTAWATTZ PowerPAC Owner’s Manual
7.0 Vehicle or Boat Engine Starting
Assistance
7.1 Jump-Starting Direct to the Battery
The PowerPAC may be used to jump-start a 12 volt vehicle or
small boat engine using the Jump-Start Cable supplied. Jump-
starting causes very high current surges and possible sparking.
Unless care is taken, the possibility of battery explosion exists.
Read the safety warnings in Section 2.0 before proceeding, then
follow these instructions exactly. Before proceeding, be sure to
attach the rubber feet supplied to the recesses in the back of the
PowerPAC as shown in Figure 1.
1. Turn off the vehicle or boat ignition, and all accessories.
2. Engage the park or emergency brake and place the
transmission in park or neutral.
3. If jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment
and bilge of all fumes before jump-starting.
4. Lay the PowerPAC on its back on a flat stable surface near
the battery and clear of all moving parts of the engine.
5. Do not connect the Jump-Start Cable to the PowerPAC yet.
Connect its red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal
of the engine battery.
WARNING: Connecting to the negative terminal can lead to a
battery explosion later in this procedure. The battery’s positive
terminal is identified as being larger in diameter than the negative
terminal. In most vehicles it has a red wire connected to it. Do
not proceed until you are sure you have connected to the positive
terminal.
6. Connect the black negative (-) clamp to the engine block,
cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the
motor, as far from the battery as possible. Do not attach the
black negative clamp to the battery terminal.
7. Making sure that the cables are clear of belts and fans, plug
the Jump-Start Cable into the High-Power DC Connector on
the lower left side of the PowerPAC, and start the engine.
8. If the vehicle fails to crank, unplug the Jump-Start Cable,
then disconnect the jumper cable clamps. Ensure that the
contact area is clean, then repeat steps 5 through 7.
