Boosting a Vehicle’s Engine

WARNING: Fire hazard

Boosting cable clamps’ connection to the vehicle’s battery terminals must be positive to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to battery “–”). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/ or create a sparking/explosion hazard.

Important: Closely follow these instructions for boosting your vehicle as they may be different from the instructions supplied with other boosting products or boosting cables.

To boost a vehicle or boat engine:

1.Turn off the vehicle or boat ignition and all accessories.

2.Engage the park or emergency brake and place the transmission in park for an automatic or neutral for a manual.

3.If boosting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment and bilge of all fumes before boosting.

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

Ensure that the Boosting Power Switch is OFF.

5.Connect the red positive (+) clamp 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.

6.Connect the black negative (–) clamp of the cables to the engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor.

If the Red Boosting Connection LED illuminates and the XPower Powerpack’s alarm sounds, then reverse polarity has been detected. Correct polarity must be established before proceeding. Disconnect the boosting clamps from the vehicle’s battery and redo steps 5 and 6 in this procedure.
