5. Determine the polarity of the vehicle’s battery terminals. The positive (POS, P, +) battery
terminal is usually larger in diameter than the negative (NEG, N, −) terminal. If you are
unsure, you should refer to the vehicle owner’s manual.
6. Determine the ground system of your vehicle.
• If vehicle to be started has a negative ground system (this is most common):
a. Connect the red (+) cable clamp first to the vehicle’s positive (red) battery terminal.
b. Next, connect the black (−) clamp to the vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving,
metal vehicle component or body part. DO NOT clamp directly to negative battery
terminal or a moving part.
• If vehicle to be started has the positive battery terminal connected to chassis (this is rare
and usually found in older car models from the 1950s or earlier):
a. Connect the black (−) clamp first to vehicle battery’s negative (black) terminal.
b. Connect 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 a
moving part.
7. Inside the vehicle, turn on the ignition switch and attempt to start the engine.
8. Crank a maximum of 3 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait 3 minutes before the
next attempt.
9. Disconnect the clamps in the reverse order of connection prior to jumpstarting. Be sure that
the cables and clamps are securely stored.
10. Recharge the JumpBoost as soon as convenient.
AIR COMPRESSOR
This JumpBoost is equipped with an air compressor that can provide up to 150 PSI (pounds per
square inch) of pressure for a variety of uses such as vehicle tires and sports equipment.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to over inflate, monitor the compressor gauge while inflating. Never
connect or disconnect the nozzle with the compressor operating. To avoid overheating, do
not operate the air compressor for more than 10 minutes at a time. After 10 minutes, allow the
compressor to cool for 15 minutes before using again.
Procedure
In the event that the vehicle tire is completely flat, raise the vehicle using a recommended jack
before inflating the tire.
1. Before any tire inflation, look for manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure.
2. Remove the air hose from the storage area on the bottom of the JumpBoost.
3. Position the JumpBoost so that you can see the pressure gauge.
4. Make sure the chuck lever is positioned up (away from the chuck opening).
