Using The Instant Power; Maintenance And Care - Schumacher Electric INSTANT POWER IP-125 Manual Del Usuario

IMPORTANT: Using the Engine Start feature
without a battery installed in the vehicle will
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Lay the DC cables away from any
fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts.
3. For a negative-ground vehicle (as in most
vehicles), connect the Instant Power's
POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post. Next, connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the
vehicle chassis or engine block, away
from the battery.
4. For a positive-ground vehicle, connect
the Instant Power's NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
battery post. Next, connect the POSITIVE
(RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery.
5. Crank the engine. If the engine does not
start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking
and wait at least 1 minute before
attempting to start the vehicle again.
(This permits the battery to cool down.)
6. After the engine starts, disconnect the
black clamp (-) and then the red clamp,
(+) in that order.
7. Recharge the Instant Power as soon as
possible after use.
