Jumpstarting a Vehicle
WARNING : Vehicles equipped with onboard computers may be affected if the engine battery
is jumpstarted. Read your vehicle owner's manual before attempting to start the vehicle to
determine if external starting assistance can be used. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause damage or explosion. Use safety glasses to protect eyes while jumpstarting a battery.
USING THE UNIT AS A JUMPSTARTER WITH POWERFUL BATTERY 14V 7AH/14AH
This jumpstarter is equipped with a manual safety switch that only allows jumpstart energy
to flow when proper connections are made to battery and frame. Once the connections are
properly made, turn the safety switch ON and you are ready to jumpstart the vehicle.
1. Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (e.g. radios, lights, air conditioners
and cellular phones).
2. Set the emergency brake and put vehicles with automatic transmission in park
position.
3. Make sure Jumpstarter's ON/OFF safety switch is turned to OFF.
4. Determine the polarity of the vehicle's battery terminals. The positive (POS, P,
+) battery terminal usually is larger in diameter than the negative (NEG, N, −)
terminal. If you are unsure, you should refer to the vehicle owner's manual.

5. Determine whether your vehicle uses a negative or positive grounded system:
Negative ground system (negative battery terminal is grounded to chassis).
Most vehicles use this system. Positive grounded battery terminal is grounded to
chassis or any other part of the vehicle. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, YOU SHOULD REFER
TO VEHICLE OWNER'S MANUAL.
6. Remove clamps from the holders. Never allow clamps (positive & negative
terminals) to touch together or contact the same piece of metal to prevent short-
circuits and arcing.
7. Follow instructions for a negative grounded system or positive grounded system as
indicated below:
Negative Grounded System
a. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal
of the vehicle battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
b. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to the vehicle chassis, engine
block or a non-moving metal part of the vehicle which is verified to be
grounded. Do not clamp directly to negative battery terminal, carburetor,
fuel lines or sheet metal body parts.
c. See jumpstarting step 7 to continue.
Positive Grounded System:
a. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to the negative (Neg, N, −)
ungrounded terminal of the vehicle battery.
b. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the vehicle chassis, engine block
or a non-moving metal part of the vehicle which is verified to be grounded. Do
not clamp directly to positive battery terminal, carburetor,
fuel lines or sheet metal body parts.
c. See jumpstarting step 7 to continue.
d. When clamps are connected with reverse polarity, the reverse polarity
indicator is red and alarm sounds. Disconnect the clamps and connect
again properly.
e. When clamps are connected properly, turn ON the Jumpstarter's safety switch.
7. Allow 1 to 2 minutes of charging time. It is recommended to have a second person
to assist holding the unit securely in place during the next steps.
8. Turn on the vehicle to attempt to start the engine. Stop if the vehicle does not start
after 4 to 5 seconds of engine cranking. Wait 3 to 4 minutes then try again. Repeat
several times until the vehicle starts.
CAUTION: Excessive engine cranking can damage vehicle starter motor. If the
engine turns, but fails to start after several attempts, other technical problems might
be involved. Discontinue cranking the engine until the other problems have been
determined and corrected.
