JUMP STARTING CONT.:
4. Connect the
BLACK
clamp to the NEGATIVE (-) post
on the car battery. The NEGATIVE will be marked with
a MINUS (-) sign. There may also be a
BLACK
plastic
protective cover over the negative battery post.
NOTE:
Do not connect the
RED
clamp (+) and the
BLACK
clamp (-) at the same time. Connect the
RED
clamp first, then
the
BLACK
clamp.
CAUTION:
DO NOT lean directly over the battery
while making jumper connections.
5. Check the LED status on the indicator
light box located on the jumper cable.
Proceed to the next step unless the light
is flashing
RED
and BEEPING.
Please reference the LED status chart on page 9 if needed.
6. You now have 30 seconds to start your vehicle before the
jump starter times out to prevent the vehicle battery from
reverse charging the unit. If it does not crank or cranks very
slowly, wiggle the jumper connections to make sure they are
making good contact. Wait 60 seconds before trying to
start your car again. Each new jump start attempt requires
disconnection of both clamps from the car battery and
reconnection. The engine should start if there are no other
problems (such as a bad starter or ignition circuit problem).
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle more than 3 times
with the Jump Starter. If the vehicle fails to start after 3
attempts, it is likely due to alternative reasons and should be
checked by an auto mechanic.
