Allow sufficient time for a full charge, indicated by the "CHARGE COMPLETE" light on the unit.

6. Operating Instructions: Jump Starting a Vehicle

Follow these steps carefully to jump start a vehicle:

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle to be jump started is in "Park" or "Neutral" with the ignition off. Engage the parking brake.
2. Select Voltage: On the Truck PAC ES1224 unit, turn the knob to select either "12V System" or "24V System" to match the vehicle's battery voltage.
3. Connect Clamps:
   • Connect the RED (+) "Hot Jaw" clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's discharged battery.
   • Connect the BLACK (-) "Hot Jaw" clamp to a solid, unpainted metal part of the vehicle's chassis or engine block, away from the battery and fuel lines. Do NOT connect directly to the negative (-) terminal of the discharged battery unless specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
4. Check ADW: Observe the Advanced Warning System (ADW) indicators on the unit. If any warnings are present, address them before proceeding.
5. Start Vehicle: Attempt to start the vehicle. If the vehicle does not start immediately, wait a few minutes before trying again to allow the jump starter to recover. Do not crank for more than 5-8 seconds at a time.
6. Disconnect Clamps: Once the vehicle starts, disconnect the clamps in reverse order: first the BLACK (-) clamp from the chassis, then the RED (+) clamp from the battery terminal.
