Jump-starting a Vehicle or Boat Engine

Jump-starting a Vehicle or Boat Engine

You can use the Jazz PP 300 C to jump-start a vehicle or boat engine that has a 12 volt starting battery using the supplied Jump-Start Cables.

Important: Closely follow these instructions for jump- starting your vehicle as they are different from the instructions supplied with other jump-start products or booster 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 jump-start cables to the jumper cable port on the left side of the Jazz PP 300 C.

5.Position the Jazz PP 300 C 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 jump-start 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 jump-start cables to the engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor, or to the negative (–) battery terminal.

If the positive and negative clips are properly connected, the Battery Clips Connected Properly (green light) illuminates.
