Jump-Start Warnings and Cautions:

1.There is risk of explosive gas being released when batteries are charged or discharged. Failure to follow instructions may cause property damage, explosion hazard and/or personal injury.

2.Make sure ElectroMate’s Safety Switch is turned OFF before making any Jump-Start connections. This enables the audible detection alarm for incorrect polarity.

3.Do not smoke while jump-starting.

4.Only attempt to jump-start a vehicle or boat in a well-ventilated area.

5.This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles or boats with 12 Volt DC battery systems.

6.Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle – friction can cause dangerous static electricity sparks.

7.Remove all metal jewelry – this can cause short circuits. Always use protective eyewear when jump-starting: contact with battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns.

8.Do not attempt to jump-start a frozen battery.

9.Keep out of reach of children.

10.Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting this type of vehicle, read the vehicle’s owner’s manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is advised.

11.Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle’s starter motor. Typical cranking is in three to five second bursts. If the engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts, stop the jump-start procedure and look for other problems that may need to be corrected. If jump-start connections cause the polarity alarm to sound, DO NOT TURN ON THE SAFETY SWITCH. REVERSE THE CONNECTIONS FIRST. IF THE ALARM DOES NOT SOUND IT IS SAFE TO TURN ON THE SAFETY SWITCH.

12.If vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded System (positive battery terminal is connected to chassis): Replace steps 5 and 6 of the jump-start procedure (below) with the following steps A and B, and then proceed to step 7 (on page 8).

A.Connect negative (-) black clamp to vehicle battery’s negative terminal.

B.Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. DO NOT clamp directly to positive battery terminal or moving part.

13.Replace worn or defective parts immediately - contact Vector Technical

Support Department at (954) 584-4446 or toll-free (866) 584-5504.
