NOTE:
A good battery will start a vehicle with a flat battery, provided the rest of the system is functioning correctly. If the flat battery will not maintain
the vehicle operation, or, if the flat battery later fails again, consult a qualified vehicle electrician.

BEFORE CONNECTING THE PROJUMP
3.1.1. Check that both vehicles have the same voltage batteries.
3.1.2. Ensure that vehicles are not touching.
3.1.3. Switch off all electrical equipment on both vehicles, including ignition, select neutral gears (or Park if automatic) and apply handbrakes.
3.1.4. Determine which battery terminal (positive or negative) on the flat battery and on the good battery is connected to the vehicle bodywork or
chassis. These are the EARTH terminals. The terminals connected to the vehicle electrical systems are the LIVE terminals.
FOR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME POLARITY, I.E. BOTH NEGATIVE OR BOTH POSITIVE EARTH, REFER TO 3.2.
FOR VEHICLES WITH DIFFERENT POLARITY REFER TO 3.3.
When connecting positive terminal to positive terminal (or to positive earth) use the red Projump cable. When connecting negative terminal
to negative terminal (or to negative earth) use the black Projump cable.
3.2.
VEHICLES WITH SAME POLARITY
3.2.1. Connect the LIVE terminal of the good battery to the LIVE terminal of the flat battery.
3.2.2. Connect the EARTH terminal of the good battery to a suitable earthing point on the engine or chassis of the vehicle with the flat battery.
