For best results when using your iStart as a Portable Power Pack, please
note the following:
1. Clean the battery terminals of the vehicle battery before
connecting the clamps to the vehicle. Use a battery post cleaner
brush to remove corrosion from the battery posts.
Solutions 510420 & 510430 will neutralize the gray/white
corrosive material (see www.quickcable.com for more information).
2. Make sure your connections are solid before attempting to start
the vehicle, twist or rock the clamps slightly until you can feel
a tight connection.

moisture and heat sources. This unit is designed to be used only with
vehicles with 12 volt systems. This unit is not designed to be used as a
replacement for a vehicle battery.
