Jumpstarting
Preparations
• Ensure the battery pack of the device is charged. Do not jump start if
the charge indicator is lit up red or yellow.
• Be sure to follow the indications on jumpstarting inside the vehicles'
operator's manuals.
• Set the parking brake on both vehicles.
• Set gearstick to neutral, for automatic transmissions to P.
• Switch off ignition on both vehicles and all devices.
• Do not disconnect the drained battery from the vehicle's electrical
system.
Connecting
Place the jumper leads so they will not be tangled in moving parts inside
the engine compartment.
Connect the terminal clamps of the leads in the following order:
1. Positive lead (red) to positive
terminal of drained battery.
2. Negative lead (black) to a suit-
able mass (e.g. engine block) on
the vehicle.
Caution!
Connect this earthing point to the
vehicle earth as far away from the battery as possible to avoid igniting
explosive gas which may be present.
If the battery was connected with reverse polarity, an alarm will sound and
the LED [7] will flash red.
In this case, do not turn the "ON/OFF" dial [6]. Disconnect the clamps and
connect the clamps as described above.
Starting
1. Set the dial [6] to "ON".
2. Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery (start for
max. 8 seconds - wait at least 3 minutes between attempts).
3. After successfully starting the engine of the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery, set the dial [6] to "OFF".
Disconnecting
Note:
Before disconnecting the jumper leads the rear and front defrost should
be switched on in the vehicle with the drained battery (do not switch on
vehicle lights). This will reduce possible voltage spikes whilst disconnect-
ing and prevent damaging electrical parts.
