Risk of Explosion.

If you have connected the clips backwards, an audio alarm will sound. DO NOT turn the On/Off switch to the ON position. This could cause serious damage to the jump starter or the vehicle. Reverse the connections and the audio alarm will stop.

3.Crank the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to start the vehicle again. (This permits the battery to cool down.)

4.After the engine starts, disconnect the black clip (-) and then the red clip (+) in that order.

5.Recharge the jump starter as soon as possible after use.

Risk of Explosion.

To prevent sparking, NEVER allow the clips to touch together or to contact the same piece of metal. Never attempt to jump start a frozen battery.

8.3Powering a 12V DC Device:

The jump starter is a power source for all 12V DC accessories that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power outages and fishing or camping trips. Estimated usage time is listed in the chart below.

Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC accessory plug into the 12V DC accessory outlet.

1.Ensure that the battery clips are securely clipped on the storage holders.

2.Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the front of the jump starter.

3.Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC device on (if required).

4.If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A or has a short circuit, the internal circuit breaker of the jump starter will trip and disconnect the power to the device. Disconnect the 12V DC device. The breaker will automatically reset after an overload occurs.

The DC power outlet is wired directly to the internal battery. Extended operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive battery drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging the 12V DC device.
