2. Safety Instructions
• Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the dealer will not
accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.
• Consult your car owner manual for complete details.
• Lead-acid batteries contain sulphuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
• The improper connection of jump leads presents an explosion hazard. Follow the recommended procedures.
• Do not smoke or use an open flame near batteries.
• Remove vent caps and check the liquid level before jump starting. If the liquid is not visible or appears to be frozen, do not
attempt to jump start.
• Only start batteries of the same voltage.
• Wear safety glasses.
3. Instructions
• Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of
the dead battery first and then to the positive (+)
terminal of the good battery.
• Connect one black clamp to the negative (-) post of
the good battery.
• Connect the other black clamp to the engine block of
the stalled car as far away from the battery as possible. Direct connection to the negative (-) terminal of the dead battery is
also possible but not recommended.
• Step away from the car being boosted before engaging the starter of the stalled car.
• Do not use the jump leads after cranking continuously for 10 ~ 15 seconds. Wait for about 1 minute and try again. If you
can still not start the stalled car, the problem might be due to a mechanical or electrical failure, and not the battery.
• After starting, keep both engines running and remove the clamps immediately, reversing the procedure: remove the black
clamp at the engine block first.
