5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Jump Starting a Vehicle
This unit is designed for 12V vehicles (up to 8.0L Gas or 8.0L Diesel Engine).
- Ensure the Jumper Safety Switch is in the "OFF" position.
- Connect the red (positive) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Connect the black (negative) clamp to a non-painted metal part of the vehicle's chassis, away from the battery and fuel lines.
- Check the Reverse Polarity Indicator. If it illuminates and alarms, immediately disconnect the clamps and re-connect them correctly.
- Once connected correctly, turn the Jumper Safety Switch to the "ON" position.
- Attempt to start the vehicle. Do not crank the engine for more than 5 seconds. If the vehicle does not start, wait at least 1 minute before trying again.
- Once the vehicle starts, immediately turn the Jumper Safety Switch to the "OFF" position.
- Disconnect the black (negative) clamp first, then the red (positive) clamp.
