USE OF THE PSX

Using the Jumpstart

The PSX can be used to jumpstart any standard size vehicle or boat with
a single 12V starting battery. If you have any questions regarding how to jump
start your vehicle, consult the vehicle owners manual or the vehicle manufac-
turer before using the PSX jump start function.
The following steps should be read completely before starting this
procedure and then carefully followed throughout the procedure:
1. Be sure that the PSX jumper cables power switch is in the OFF
position (see Figure 2 on page 7 for location P).
2. Ensure safety of immediate area. See warnings at the beginning
of this manual for further details.
3. Turn off the vehicle or boat, as well as all attached accessories such
as lights, radios, et cetera.
4. Be sure that the emergency brake is engaged. Manual transmission
vehicles should be in neutral. Automatic transmission vehicles
should be in park.
5. If jumpstarting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment and
vent fumes per boat manufacturer instructions before proceeding.
6. Position the PSX on a secure, level surface in reach of the battery
but away from all electrical and moving parts of the engine. Please
note, some engine components may be hot enough to cause severe
burns or damage the PSX.
7. Connect the red positive (+) clamp (see Figure 2 on page 7 for location
N) of the PSX to the positive (+) terminal of the battery (never lean over
the battery when making connections to jumpstart).
8. Connect the black negative (-) clamp (see Figure 2 on page 7 for
location O) of the PSX to the engine block, cylinder head, or other
heavy, yet stationary metal engine part.

correct the connection before proceeding to the next step.
Failure to do so may cause sparking, personal injury and/or
harm to the vehicle or jumpstart unit. Check to be sure that
the cables are clear of all moving engine parts.
