CONNECTING THE JUMP STARTER

WARNING! A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Attach the output cables to the battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the output clips to touch
3.1
each other.
Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot engine parts.
3.2
NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the jump starting process, ensure that the hood does not
touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
3.3
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
3.4
diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is
3.5
grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 3.6. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis,
see step 3.7.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the jump starter to the POSITIVE
3.6
(POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the jump starter to the
3.7
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-
metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
When disconnecting the jump starter, turn all switches to off (if applicable), remove the clip from the vehicle
3.8
chassis, then remove the clip from the battery terminal.
