CABLE CLAMP

1.Turn Off ignition and all accessories (radio, a/c, lights, cellphone, etc). If vehicle, place transmission in “park” and set the emergency brake.

2.Make sure the unit’s Power Safety Switch is turned OFF.

3.Observe jump-starting negative or positive ground system, as follows:

Negative ground (negative battery Terminal connected to chassis) - most common.

4.Carefully lift negative (black) jumper cable wire from storage channel starting at clamp end of cable.

5.Squeeze negative (black) clamp handle and remove clamp from holster.

6.Carefully lift positive (red) jumper cable wire from storage channel starting at clamp end of cable.

7.Squeeze positive (red) clamp handle and remove clamp from holster.

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

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

WARNING: If reverse polarity alarm sounds, DO NOT TURN ON SAFETY SWITCH. Change (swap) positions of Red and Black clamps. When proper polarity connection is made, the alarm will not sound - continue with next step.

10.Turn ON unit’s Power Safety Switch

11.Start vehicle (crank engine in 5 - 6 second bursts) If engine won’t start, seek help and go to step 14.

12.After vehicle starts turn unit’s Power Safety Switch to OFF position.

13.Leave engine running.

14.Turn OFF Safety Power Switch

15.Remove clamps. First, disconnect the clamp connected to the engine or chassis, followed by the clamp connected to the battery..

16.Carefully press negative (black) jumper cable wire into storage channel starting at end away from the clamp.

17.Squeeze negative (black) clamp handles and slide clamp into holster.

18.Carefully press positive (red) jumper cable wire into storage channel starting at end away from the clamp.

19.Squeeze positive (red) clamp handles and slide clamp into holster.

20.Recharge Start-It Compact as soon as possible
