Operating Instruction
3. Preparing to use the booster
EN
WARNING
Battery acid is a highly corrosive
sulfuric acid.
3.1. Clean the battery terminals before using
the booster. During cleaning, keep airborne
corrosion from coming into contact with your
eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking soda and
water to neutralize the battery acid and help
eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch
your eyes, nose or mouth.
3.2. Read, understand and follow all instruc-
tions for the booster, battery, vehicle and
any equipment used near the battery and
the booster.
3.3. Determine the voltage of the battery by
referring to the vehicle owner's manual and
make sure that the output voltage of the
booster is correct.
3.4. Make sure that the booster cable clamps
make tight connections.
4. Follow these steps when connec-
tion to a battery
WARNING
A spark near the battery may
cause a battery explosion. To

4.1. Attach the output cables to the battery and
chassis as indicated below. Never allow the out-
put clamps to touch each other.
4.2. Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of
damage by the hood, door and moving or hot

battery acid.
that the hood does not touch the metal part of the
battery clamps or cut the insulation of the cables.
4.3. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and
other parts that can cause injury.
4.4. Determine which post of the battery is
grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the ne-
gative post is grounded to the chassis (as in
most vehicles), see step 4.5. If the positive post
is grounded to the chassis, see step 4.7 .
4.5. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect
first the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the boos-
ter to the POSITIVE (POS, P , +) ungrounded
post of the battery. Then connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine
block away from the battery. Do not connect the
clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal
body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part
of the frame or engine block.
4.6. When disconnecting the booster, first re-
move the clamp from the vehicle chassis, then
remove the clamp from the battery terminal, in
that order.
4.7. In the rare event that the vehicle is positi-
ve-grounded, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp from the booster to the NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect
the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis
or engine block away from the battery. Do not
connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines
or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
