3.Using ElectroMate™ as a Jump-Start System

Read all Warnings, Cautions and Notes carefully before using this unit. Read and understand all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS printed at the front of this manual.

3.1Jump-start Procedure

1.Make sure the ElectroMate Safety Switch is turned OFF, enabling the reverse polarity alarms and correct polarity indicator.

2.Turn Off ignition and all accessories (radio, A/C, lights, etc.). Place vehicle in “park” and set the emergency brake.

3.Observe jump-starting negative or positive ground system, as follows: Negative ground (negative battery terminal connected to chassis) - most common.

4.Carefully unwrap the cables from the storage area starting at clamps.

5.Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle’s positive battery terminal.

6.Connect negative (-) black clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part - never clamp directly to negative battery terminal or moving part.

7.If polarity is correct the POLARITY CORRECT LED will light. If the polarity is incorrect, the audible REVERSE POLARITY ALARM will sound and the LED will light.

WARNING: IF REVERSE POLARITY ALARM SOUNDS, DO NOT TURN ON SAFETY SWITCH. REVERSE THE POSITION OF THE CLAMPS AND OBSERVE POLARITY LEDS. IF POLARITY CORRECT LED LIGHTS, THEN TURN ON THE SAFETY SWITCH.

8.Start vehicle (crank engine in 3 - 5 second bursts). If engine won’t start, seek help and go to step 10.

9.Leave engine running.

10.Turn OFF the Safety switch.
