CHARGING/RECHARGING
This product has a sealed lead acid battery. For maximum battery life, we recommend the Jump-Starter be kept
fully charged at all times. Recharge before first use, immediately after each use, and once a month if not used.
Failure to do this may reduce the battery life dramatically. To check the battery charge status at any time, press
the Battery Charge Level Pushbutton.
Note:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC
charge should be for 24 hours.

4a.Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle battery's positive terminal.
4b.Connect negative (–) black clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body
part. Never clamp directly to negative battery terminal or moving part. Refer to the automobile owner's
manual.
5.Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS
Note:
In the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded System (positive battery terminal is
connected to chassis), replace steps 4a and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.
5a.Connect negative (–) black clamp to vehicle battery's negative terminal.
5b.Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body

CAUTIONS: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE
• If the connections to the battery's positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the Reverse Polarity Indicator
will light (red) and the unit will sound a beep. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• If vehicle fails to start, turn OFF the ignition, turn OFF the Jump-Starter Power Switch, disconnect the jump-start
system's leads and contact a qualified technician to investigate why the engine did not start.
• Recharge this unit fully after each use.
WARNINGS
• Jump-Starter Power Switch should be off prior to jump-starting.
• This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles with 12 volt DC battery systems.
• Never touch red and black clamps together — this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before
jump-starting this type of vehicle, read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is advised.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle's starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the
recommended number of attempts, discontinue jump-start procedure and look for other problems that need to
be corrected.
• After use, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch OFF.
• Replace worn or defective parts immediately — contact the Customer Service Department toll free
1-800-544-6986.
