Jumpstarting a Vehicle

WARNING: Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery is jump-started. 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 jump-starting a battery. 

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. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

6. Follow instructions for a negative grounded system or positive grounded system as indicated below:
   Negative Grounded System 

   1. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of the vehicle battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
   2. 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.
   3. See jump-starting step 7 to continue.

   Positive Grounded System

   1. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to the negative (Neg, N, −) ungrounded terminal of the vehicle battery.
   2. 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.
   3. See jump-starting step 7 to continue.
7. Turn on the safety switch and allow 2 to 3 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.
9. When finished, turn OFF the safety switch, stand as far away from the vehicle battery as possible and disconnect the clamps in reverse sequence to connecting procedure:
   • For negative grounded systems, first disconnect negative (black) then positive (red) clamps.
   • For positive grounded systems, first disconnect positive (red) then negative (black) clamps.

DC Power Port

The DC Power Port (accessory socket) is located to the right front side of the unit. The port can power a DC load of up to 11 Amps. Overloading the port may result in “tripping” a self-resetting circuit breaker. Removing the overload automatically restores power to the DC Power Port.

1. Uncover the dust cover from the Power Port.
2. Insert the 12V DC accessory plug into the Power Port.
3. Set On/Off safety switch to the “ON” position.
4. Operate the appliance as usual.
5. After use, turn OFF the safety switch.
6. Disconnect the accessory plug from the DC Power Port and store the accessory.
7. Replace the Power Port’s dust cover.
8. Recharge the Jumper as soon as convenient.

USB Power Port

Two USB power ports located underneath the LED work light can power/ charge devices that require 5V at up to 2.1 Amps through the use of a user supplied cable. 

1. To use the USB ports, connect the USB device to one of the USB ports and press down the USB ON/OFF switch once to power ON the USB port.  The USB power indicator LED will light up.
2. When finished, disconnect the device from the USB port on the jumper and press down the USB ON/OFF switch once to power OFF the USB port.  The USB power indicator LED will turn off.
