User's Manual—Read before using this equipment
Jump-starting a Vehicle
WARNING : Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery
is jump-started. Read your vehicle owner's manual before attempting to start the vehicle to
determine if external starting assistance can be used. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause damage or explosion. Use safety glasses to protect eyes while jump-starting a battery.
1. Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (e.g. radios, lights, air conditioners,
and cellular phones).
2. Set the emergency brake and put vehicles with automatic transmission in park
position.
3. Determine the polarity of the vehicle's battery terminals. The positive (POS, P, +)
battery terminal usually is larger in diameter than the negative (NEG, N, −) terminal.
If you are unsure, you should refer to the vehicle owner's manual.
4. Determine whether your vehicle uses a negative or positive grounded system:
Negative ground system (negative battery terminal is grounded to chassis). Most
vehicles use this system. Positive grounded battery terminal is grounded to chassis or
any other part of the vehicle. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, YOU SHOULD REFER TO VEHICLE
OWNER'S MANUAL.
5. Remove clamps from the holders. Never allow clamps (positive & negative terminals)
to touch together or contact the same piece of metal to prevent short-circuits and
arcing.
6. Follow instructions for a negative grounded system or positive grounded system as
indicated below:
Negative Grounded System
a. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of
the vehicle battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
b. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to the vehicle chassis, engine
block, or a non-moving metal part of the vehicle which is verified to be grounded.
Do not clamp directly to negative battery terminal, carburetor,
fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
c. See jump-starting step 7 to continue.
Positive Grounded System:
a. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to the negative (Neg, N, −)
ungrounded terminal of the vehicle battery.
b. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the vehicle chassis, engine block,
or a non-moving metal part of the vehicle which is verified to be grounded. Do
not clamp directly to positive battery terminal, carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet
metal body parts.
c. See jump-starting step 7 to continue.
