CONNECTING THE JUMP STARTER TO
THE BATTERY
WARNING! A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY:
1.
Plug the clamps into the unit, and then attach the
output cables to the battery and chassis as indicated
below. Never allow the output clamps to touch each
other.
2.
Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by
the hood, door and moving or hot engine parts. 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.
3.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that
can cause injury.
4.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than
the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
5.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is
grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step
6. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see
step 7.
6.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE
(RED) clamp from the jump starter to the POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the
clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame
or engine block.
7.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp from the jump starter to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine
block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp
to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or
engine block.
