Jump-Starting a Vehicle’s Engine

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

To jump-start 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 jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment and bilge of all fumes before jump-starting.

4.Connect the cables to the Jump-Start Cable Port on the left side of the XPower Powerpack.

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

6.Connect the red positive (+) clip 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.

7.Connect the black negative (–) clip of the cables to the engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor, or to the negative (–) battery terminal.

Before starting the engine, make sure the XPower Powerpack and the cables are clear of belts and fans. Do not crank the engine for more than 4 seconds.
