NOTE: Read vehicle owner's manual for jump starting instructions specific to your
vehicle.
1. Use in a well ventilated area. Shield eyes with safety glasses or goggles.
2. Turn off the ignition and all vehicle accessories (lights, radio, heater, etc.) before
making cable connections.
NOTE: A good, solid and clean connection is essential for a successful jump start
(see Performance and Temperature section).
3. Taking care to never touch the clamps together, first remove the RED POS (+)
clamp from its ear and connect it to the RED POS (+) battery terminal. Then
remove the BLACK NEG (–) clamp from its ear and connect it to the engine
ground, or a non-moving metal engine part. Never connect to the fuel line, fuel
injector or carburator as the engine ground.
NOTE: Many vehicles feature alternate starting points, away from the battery.
Always use the alternate starting points whenever available.
CAUTION: Stay clear of batteries while jump starting.
4. Proceed with the jump starting process.
5. After jump starting, disconnect the BLACK NEG (–) clamp first, then disconnect
the RED POS (+) clamp.
6. Always return the clamps to their Grip-Lock
clamps to the handle of the CarStart.
7. After use, recharge the CarStart (see Recharging the CarStart section).
When jump starting, do not use the unit for more than 6 seconds without a 3
minute rest period between use.
To ensure trouble-free use, please remember to recharge the unit for 24 hours at least
once every 3 months (see Recharging the CarStart section).
The CarStart features a 12 Volt power outlet hidden behind the LED flashlight. Remove
the flashlight (taking care not to misplace or damage it) to expose the 12 Volt outlet. To
turn on the outlet, depress the yellow button. To turn off the outlet, depress the yellow
button. Plug any accessory up to 12 Amps into the socket and CarStart will provide
power.
If the amperage rating is exceeded, a built-in auto-reset circuit breaker automatically
shuts power off until the accessory, or overload source, is removed. After extreme
power usage, recharge the unit for 36-48 hours.
