Operating Instructions: Jump Starting a Vehicle

Follow these steps carefully to safely jump start a vehicle.

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and all accessories (lights, radio, etc.) are turned off. Place the vehicle in park (automatic) or neutral (manual) and engage the parking brake.
2. Connect Positive Clamp: Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the JNC4000 to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's discharged battery. Ensure a solid connection.
3. Connect Negative Clamp: Connect the black negative (-) clamp of the JNC4000 to a clean, unpainted metal part of the vehicle's engine block or chassis, away from the battery and fuel lines. Do not connect directly to the negative battery terminal.
4. Start Vehicle: Once both clamps are securely connected, attempt to start the vehicle. Crank the engine for no more than 5-6 seconds. If the vehicle does not start, wait at least 3 minutes before attempting again to allow the jump starter to cool.
5. Disconnect Clamps: Once the vehicle starts, disconnect the black negative (-) clamp first, then disconnect the red positive (+) clamp.
