OPERATION

Always carry out the following preliminary checks before connecting the

Jumpstart to the car battery:

• Ensure the vehicle ignition and ALL ancillary equipment - lighting,

radio etc, is switched off.

• Check the vehicle battery voltage, and select the correct voltage

on the 12V/24V selector on the rear of the jumpstarter.

• Ensure the battery terminals are clean and the clamps are firm and

secure.

• Remove any vehicle battery filler plugs and check electrolyte level.

If necessary, top up with distilled water.

When completely satisfied, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the vehicle ignition off before connecting the booster cables.

2. Take great care not to touch the red positive (+) clamp against the black

negative (-) clamp.

3. Ensure the area is well ventilated.

4. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

5. Connect the red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal first.

Take care the clamp does not contact any moving parts or fuel lines.

6. Connect the black negative (-) clamp to a suitable earthing point on the

vehicle chassis.

7. Switch the unit on. An intermittent beep should be heard, indicating there

is power to the cables. If the audible signal becomes louder and steadier, a

polarity error is indicted. Disconnect the booster clamps immediately.

Reverse the connections to the battery terminals and the audible signal

should return to a beep.

8. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

9. Turn the ignition key on for a maximum of 6 seconds and the vehicle should

start. If the vehicle does not start after a few seconds, switch off and wait

for at least 3 minutes to prevent damage to the jumpstarter due to

overheating before trying again. After this cooling off period, it is safe to

resume trying to start the vehicle.
