6.1 Jump Starting a Vehicle Engine
IMPORTANT: Using the jump starter
without a battery installed in the vehicle will
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the jump starter
while charging its internal battery.
1. Turn the vehicle's ignition OFF before
making cable connections.
2. Make sure the rotary switch on the
front of the jump starter is in the OFF
position. Connect the jump starter to
the battery, following the precautions
listed in section 3.
WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION.

have the jump starter checked.
5.4 Charging the Internal Battery
While Driving
You may also charge the internal battery
while driving, using a male-to-male charger
cable (part number 94500109 – sold
separately).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHARGE THE
INTERNAL BATTERY FOR MORE THAN
30 MINUTES OR LEAVE THE BATTERY
UNATTENDED. IT COULD EXPLODE,
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Make sure the car is running.
2. Insert one end of the accessory cable
into the 12V DC power outlet.
3. Insert the other end of the accessory
cable into the vehicle's accessory
outlet (lighter socket).
NOTE: Using this method to charge the
battery overrides the maintain mode and
the battery can be overcharged.
4. Monitor the progress of the charge by
pressing the Percentage of Charge
button on the front of the unit. Do not
leave the battery unattended or it could
explode, causing property damage and
personal injury. When the battery is fully

lighter socket of the vehicle.
NOTE: Completely disconnect the charger
cable when the engine is not running.
3. If no audio alarm sounds, turn the
rotary switch to the 12V position. The
clips are now powered.
4. Crank the engine. If the engine does not
start within 3-8 seconds, stop cranking
and wait at least 1 minute before
attempting to start the vehicle again.
(This permits the battery to cool down.)
5. After the engine starts, turn the rotary
switch to the OFF position. Disconnect
the black clip (-), then the red clip (+) in
that order, and clip them back onto the
jump starter storage holders.
6. Recharge the jump starter as soon as
possible after use.

24 volt system when the switch is in the
12 volt position, the audio alarm will
sound continuously. TURN OFF the jump
starter immediately or internal battery
damage could occur.
