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. 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.
5. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of the vehicle
battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
6. 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.
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 negative (black) clamp first, then the positive (red)
