Quick Cable 800 Amp Booster Clamps Cable Assembly and Safety - Manual

Items not included in the booster cable kit: copper cable and heavy wall copper lugs.
2. Cut cable to the length of the booster cables you desire. This cable should either be twin conductor or two separate
conductors, one for the positive and one for the negative. We strongly recommend finely stranded welding-type
cable, with a neoprene or synthetic rubber insulation, as this will remain flexible in cold weather and give you maxi-
mum conductivity. See #5 (page 2)
3. Red for Positive, Black for Negative. Use red insulated or red marked cable for the positive booster cable and use
black insulated cable for the negative booster cable.
4. Length and Gauge. Generally, the longer the booster cables, the larger the gauge cable you need to use. Likewise,
the larger the displacement of the engine you are jump-starting, the larger the gauge cable you should use. If you
expect to use the booster cables in very cold conditions, where the temperature may be below 0° F or –20° C, use a
large gauge cable, as batteries will not be operating at their peak capability.
These instructions are designed for the professional mechanic who
wishes to make or repair a set of booster cables using 800 amp booster
clamps, Nos. 602070-002, 602071-001 and 602072-001.
These booster clamps can be used with 1, 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 gauge
cable. The gauge of the cable you select is dependent on two factors, the
length of your booster cable and the amperage draw of the equipment
you are jump-starting.
Once you have selected the cable gauge, then you know which No.
4800 series heavy wall copper lugs you should use. These booster clamps
are made to be used with 1, 1/0, 2/0, or 3/0 gauge heavy wall copper lugs. The lugs are not included with the booster
clamps; they should be purchased separately. See #6 page 2
