Jump-Starting a Vehicle’s Engine

4.Connect the cables to the jump-start cable port on the left side of the XPower Powerpack.

5.Position the XPower Powerpack on a flat, stable surface near the battery and away from all moving parts of the engine.

6.Connect the red positive (+) clip of the cables to the positive (+) terminal of the engine battery.

The battery’s positive terminal is usually larger in diameter than the negative terminal. In most vehicles, the battery’s positive terminal has a red wire connected to it.

7.Connect the black negative (–) clip of the cables to the engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor, or to the negative (–) battery terminal.

Before starting the engine, make sure the XPower Powerpack and the cables are clear of belts and fans. Do not crank the engine for more than 4 seconds.

WARNING: Fire hazard

The jump-start feature is designed for short term operation only— less than 4 seconds. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the XPower Powerpack to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jump- start.

8.Remove the red positive (+) clip and then the black negative (–) clip from the vehicle’s battery terminal.

9.Remove the cables from the jump-start cable port.

Important: Recharge the XPower Powerpack as soon as possible after each use. See “Recharging the XPower Powerpack 600HD Battery” on page 26.
