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 step 4 and 5 above with steps, 4a and
4b and then proceed to steps 6 through 8 below.
4a. Connect negative (-) black clamp to vehicle battery ‘s negative terminal.
5a. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving,
metal vehicle component or body part. DO NOT clamp directly to positive
battery terminal or moving part.
6. Turn jumpstart system ‘s power switch to ON position.
7. Start vehicle (do not turn key for longer than 5-6 seconds).
8. After vehicle starts, turn jumpstart system ‘s Safety Switch to OFF position. Remove clamps
(disconnect the negative (Black) jumper cable first; followed by the positive (Red) jumper
cable) and replace them in the built-in storage holsters. Squeeze the handles and slide the
clamp into position and release your grip.
CAUTIONS:
1.If engine fails to start, leave ignition key turned off, make sure safety switch is off and
disconnect the negative (-) clamp first, then the positive (+) clamp. Try again later - the engine
may be flooded.
2. Recharge jumpstart system after each use.
WARNINGS:
• Always disconnect the engine jumper clamp first; followed by the battery jumper clamps
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor
– this could cause damage to the unit and/or create sparking/explosion hazard
• There is a risk of explosive gases being released when batteries are improperly charged or
discharged, failure to follow instructions may cause property damage, explosive hazard,
and/or personal injury
• Always use protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause
blindness and/or severe burns
• Keep out of reach of children
• ALWAYS store battery clamps in built-in holsters when not in use and never touch battery
clamps together-this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing and/or explosion
FIRST AID:
• Skin: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then wash
thoroughly with soap and water–If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate
medical attention.
• Eyes: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for minimum of 15
minutes - SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

CHARGING/RECHARGING
For maximum battery life, we recommend that the START-IT COMPACT PRO™ system be kept
fully charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life
will be shortened. NOTE: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent
discharges between recharges will reduce battery life.
