OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
JUMP STARTING
For box units equipped with installed vehicle harness, leave vehicle running for best performance.
WARNING:
DO NOT JUMP START WITH AC POWER CORD CONNECTED TO 120VAC POWER
SOURCE. NEVER JUMP START A FROZEN BATTERY. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
1. Set selector cable to proper voltage of vehicle being jump-started. Either 12 or 24 Volts.
2. If vehicle has 12 Volt system with dual batteries, place cable on battery closest to starter.
3. Position DC jumper cables to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
4. Stay clear of fan belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
5. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp from unit to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery last.
Note:
Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.
Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition).
Note:
If the vehicle doesn’t start within 6 seconds, let the unit cool for 3 minutes before attempting to start
the vehicle again or you may damage the unit.
7. When disconnecting unit,
ALWAYS
disconnect the negative clamp from vehicle chassis first. Remove positive
clamp from battery terminal second.
WARNING - 12/24 VOLT MODELS
Never hook up a 12 Volt DC power source to a 24 Volt DC vehicle. This will grossly overcharge the 12 Volt power
source and generate flammable gasses that may explode and cause property damage and/or bodily harm.
