6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 Jump Starting a Vehicle Engine
1. Turn vehicle's ignition OFF before
making cable connections.
2. If the jump starter is plugged into a
120V AC wall outlet, disconnect it.
Never use the jump starter while the
charger is connected or you may
damage the jump starter or cause
property damage.
3. For a negative grounded system,
clamp the red clip (+) to the positive
terminal of the battery.
4. Clamp the black clip (-) to an unpainted
and unmoving part of the chassis or
engine block.
NOTE: In the rare case of jump-starting
a vehicle that has a positive-grounded
vehicle electrical system, connect the
NEGATIVE black clip (-) to the negative
terminal (-) of the vehicle battery. Then
connect the POSITIVE red clip (+) to an
unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle
chassis or engine block. If you are unsure
of the nature of the vehicle's electrical
grounding system, check the owner's
manual of the vehicle. To disconnect the
clips, reverse order.
5. Crank the engine. If the engine does not
start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking
and wait at least 1 minute before
attempting to start the vehicle again.
(This permits the battery to cool down.)
6. After the engine starts, disconnect the
black clip (-) and then the red clip (+) in
that order.
7. Recharge the jump starter as soon as
possible after use.
WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION.
To prevent sparking, NEVER allow the
clips to touch together or to contact the
same piece of metal. Never attempt to
jump start a frozen battery.

7. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

7.1 After use and before performing
maintenance, unplug and disconnect
the jump starter.
7.2 Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion
and other dirt or oil from the battery clips,
cords and the jump starter case.
6.2 Powering A 12V DC Device:
The jump starter is a power source for all
12V DC accessories that are equipped
with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for
power outages and fishing or camping
trips. Estimated usage time is listed in the
following chart.
1. Make sure the device to be powered
is OFF before inserting a 12V DC
accessory plug into the 12V DC socket.
2. Ensure the battery clips are securely
clipped on the storage holders.
3. Open the protective cover of the 12V DC
power outlet on the front of the jump
starter.
4. Plug the 12V DC device into the 12V
DC power outlet, and turn on the 12V
DC device (if required).
5. If the 12V DC device draws more than
15A or has a short circuit, the internal
circuit breaker of the jump starter will trip
and disconnect the power to the device.
Disconnect the 12V DC device. The
breaker will automatically reset a short
time after an overload is disconnected.
6. Recharge immediately after unplugging
the 12V DC device.
NOTE: The DC power outlet is wired
directly to the internal battery. Extended
operation of a 12V DC device may result
in excessive battery drain.
