3. PREPARING TO USE THE UNIT
WARNING! RISK OF CONTACT WITH
BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A
HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
3.1 Make sure the area around the battery
is well ventilated while the unit is in use.
3.2 Clean the battery terminals before using
the jump starter. During cleaning, keep
airborne corrosion from coming into
contact with your eyes, nose and mouth.

4. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTING TO A BATTERY
WARNING! A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
4.1 Attach the output cables to the battery and
chassis as indicated below. Never allow
the output clamps to touch each other.
4.2 Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of
damage by the hood, door and moving or
hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary
to close the hood during the jump starting
process, ensure that the hood does not
touch the metal part of the battery clips or
cut the insulation of the cables.
4.3 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys
and other parts that can cause injury.
4.4 Check the polarity of the battery posts.
The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post
usually has a larger diameter than the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
4.5 Determine which post of the battery is
grounded (connected) to the chassis.
If the negative post is grounded to the
chassis (as in most vehicles), see step
4.6. If the positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see step 4.7.

the battery acid and help eliminate
airborne corrosion. Do not touch your
eyes, nose or mouth.
3.3 Determine the voltage of the battery by
referring to the vehicle owner's manual
and make sure that the output voltage
is 12V.
3.4 Make sure that the unit's cable clamps
make tight connections.
4.6 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect
the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the
Power Pack to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
ungrounded post of the battery. Connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the
vehicle chassis or engine block away from
the battery. Do not connect the clamp to
the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal
body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
4.7 For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from the
Power Pack to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
ungrounded post of the battery. Connect
the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the clamp to the
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
4.8 When disconnecting the unit, press the
jump start button to turn off, remove
the clamp from the vehicle chassis,
then remove the clamp from the battery
terminal.
