Operation
Jump-Starting a Vehicle’s Engine
You can use the XPower Powerpack to jump-start a vehicle or boat engine that has a 12 V starting battery using the plied Jump-Start Cables.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Never allow cables’ red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard. Always disconnect the clamps for the unit after use and clip the plastic guard over the jump-start cable port.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Jump-start cable clamps’ connection to the vehicle’s battery terminals must be positive to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to battery “-”). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
WARNING: Risk of explosion, fire or burns
The battery terminals exposed at the Jump-Start Cable Port have enough energy present to cause a spark, creating an explosion hazard, or to cause burns if a metal object contacts both terminals. Always clip the plastic guard over the Port when not in use.
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.
