Einhell BT-BO 16-1 A Jumper Cable Instruction Manual

It is vital to make sure that

the capacitance of the battery supplying the power (e.g. 45 Ah) does not lie substantially below that of the discharged battery;
only batteries of identical nominal voltage (e.g. 12 V) are connected together;
there is no contact between the body work of the vehicles involved (risk of short-circuiting);
sources of ignition (e.g. naked lights, burning cigarettes or electric sparks) are kept away from the batteries (risk of detonation) and that you avoid bending over the batteries due to risk of caustic burns;
the electrolyte of the discharged battery is still fluid at low temperature;
the discharged battery is not disconnected from its vehicleʼs electric system and that the ignition of both vehicles is switched off before connecting up the jumper cables: In vehicles with manual transmissions – place the shift lever in neutral; vehicles with automatic transmissions – place the selector lever in position „P“ and pull the hand brake;
the leads of the jumper cable cannot get caught up in any moving parts inside the engine compartment; you know how and in which order you have to connect and disconnect the jumper cables.
when you remove the leads of the jumper cable they do not come into contact with any moving parts of the engine.

Connecting the jumper leads:

Connect the lead with the red pole clamps first to the positive pole of the discharged battery (see
Figure/Item 1) and then to the positive pole of the supplier battery (see Figure/Item 2). Now connect the lead with the black pole clamps to the negative pole of the supplier battery (see Figure/Item 3) and then to ground on the receiver vehicle, e.g. the ground strap or some other bare point on the engine block (see Figure/Item 4). Choose a point as far away as possible from the battery in order to avoid the ignition of any electrolytic gas which may develop.

Starting:
Start the engine of the supplier vehicle and rev up to the medium speed range. Then start the engine of the receiver vehicle. Try for no longer than 15 seconds to start the vehicle, then wait for 1 minute before trying again.

Disconnecting the jumper leads:
When the engine is running smoothly (after 2 to 3 minutes), disconnect the jumper cables in reverse order: First disconnect the black pole clamp from the ground strap or the engine block of the receiver vehicle (see Figure/Position 4). Then disconnect the other black pole clamp from the negative pole of the supplier battery (see Figure/Item 3). Finally, remove the two red pole clamps in any order.

Technical data:

Notes:
Starting cars with catalytic converters
If the battery is not able to start the engine, only jump start it with the jump cables and auxiliary battery. If you attempt to push off the car or tow it, petrol may get into the exhaust and damage the catalytic converter. Switch on a large power consumer before disconnecting so as to prevent voltage surges in the electrical system. Refer to the ownerʼs manual for the car or additional equipment (such as car phone, on-board computer, etc.) for instructions on charging the battery and jump-starting.
