Safety Information:
WARNING: Read these instructions completely before using the Booster
Cables and save them for future reference. Before using the Booster Cables to
jump start a car, truck, or boat, read these instructions and the instruction
manual/safety information provided by the car, truck, or boat manufacturer.
Following all manufacturers’ instructions and safety procedures will reduce
the risk of an accident.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment because moving
parts may cause severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions
published in the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
Batteries being jump-started with the Booster Cables likely contain liquid
acids which are hazardous if spilled.
General Precautions for Use:
- Check to make sure that the clamps and cables are in good working order before each use.
- Signs of damage include burn marks on the jaws, damaged clamp handles, damaged clamp springs, and damaged cables where copper wiring may be exposed (insulation jacket deteriorated, cut or missing).
- Verifying these simple check points before every use will keep your Booster Cables safe to use and increase its service life.
Note: Both the battery to be jumped and the booster source must be of the
same voltage (6 or 12V, etc.).
Note: Power sources other than batteries should not exceed 15V for use
with 12V systems or 8V for use with a 6V system.
Jump Starting Instructions:
- Turn off all electrical loads and set the parking brake on all vehicles. Place automatic transmission vehicles in PARK and manual transmission vehicles in NEUTRAL.
- Be sure that the vent caps are tight and level on both batteries. Place a damp cloth over any vent caps on each battery, making certain it is clear of fan blades, belts, and other moving parts.
- On a negative ground system, connect the positive (POS, +) cable to the positive (pos, +) terminals of both vehicle batteries (host and disabled vehicles). Do not allow the clamps to touch any vehicle part other than the battery-positive (POS, +) terminal.
- Connect the negative (NEG, -) cable to the negative (NEG, -) terminal of the host vehicle’s battery and attach the other end to a suitable ground point on the disabled vehicle’s engine or body. Do not connect directly to the negative terminal of the disabled vehicle’s battery.
- Start the host vehicle’s engine and allow it to idle.
- Attempt to start the disabled vehicle. Do not crank for more than 6 seconds. If the vehicle does not start in this amount of time, turn the ignition of the disabled vehicle to OFF and allow it to rest for 3 minutes before attempting again.
- Once the disabled vehicle is started, remove the booster cables in the opposite order of the connection sequence.

Safety Information
WARNING
- Read these instructions completely before using the Booster Cables and save them for future reference. Before using the Booster Cables to jump start a car, truck or boat read these instructions and the instruction manual/safety information provided by the car, truck or boat manufacturer. Following all manufacturers’ instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
- Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read and follow these instructions for safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in this manual and on the Booster Cables each time you jump start using the Booster Cables.
- All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette lighter while near batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing because static electricity sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed.
- Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment when working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around lead-acid batteries.
- Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts may cause severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
- Batteries being jump started with the Booster Cables likely contain liquid acids which are hazardous if spilled.
General precautions for use
- Someone should always be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
- Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. Protective eyewear should always be worn when working near lead-acid batteries.
- If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
- Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part that may cause explosion.
- Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
- NEVER charge or jump start a frozen battery.
- To prevent arcing, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or to contact the same piece of metal.
- Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk of damage to the unit or injury to personnel.
- The Booster Cables may be used under any weather condition – rain, snow, hot or cold temperatures.
- Do not submerge in water.
- Do not operate with flammables such as gasoline, etc.
Jump Starting Instructions
Safety Check List
Always Perform this Step Before Use to Ensure Safe Operation.
- Check to make sure that the clamps and cables are in good working order. Signs of damage include, but are not limited to the following:
- Burn marks on the jaws
- Damaged clamp handles
- Damaged clamp springs
- Damaged cables where copper wiring may be exposed (insulation jacket deteriorated, cut or missing)
Verifying these simple check points before every use will keep your Booster
Cables safe to use and increase its service life.
Note : Both the battery to be jumped and the booster source must be of
the same voltage (6 or 12V, etc.).
Note : Power sources other than batteries should not exceed 15V for use
with 12V systems or 8V for use with a 6V system.
Note : Position the “host” vehicle, or other power source, adjacent to
the “disabled” vehicle with the discharged battery so that booster cables can
be connected easily between both vehicles. Make certain that the vehicles do
not touch each other.
- Turn off all electrical loads and set the parking brake on all vehicles. Place automatic transmission vehicles in “PARK” and manual transmission vehicles in “NEUTRAL”.
- Be sure that the vent caps are tight and level on both batteries. Place a damp cloth over any vent caps on each battery, making certain it is clear of fan blades, belts and other moving parts.
- Determine whether the discharged (dead) battery has the negative (-) or the positive (+) terminal connected to the ground. The ground lead is connected to the engine block, the vehicle frame, or some other good metallic ground. The battery terminal connected to the starter is the one that is not grounded. (All vehicles manufactured in the U.S.A. after 1955 have the negative battery terminal grounded. All European and Asian passenger vehicles manufactured after 1971 have the negative battery terminal grounded.)
- On a negative ground system, connect the positive (POS, +) cable to the positive (pos, +) terminals of both vehicle batteries (host and disabled vehicles). Do not allow the clamps to touch any vehicle part other than the battery positive (POS,+) terminal.
- On a negative ground system, connect one end of the negative (NEG, -) cable to the negative (NEG, -) terminal of the host vehicle battery. Connect the other end of the negative (NEG, -) cable to a vehicle ground on the disabled vehicle (engine block, vehicle frame or other heavy-gauge, non-moving, unpainted metal part –never connect to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts). Again, do not allow the clamps to touch each other or a common conductor.
- Start the host vehicle’s engine and allow to idle.
- Attempt to start the disabled vehicle. Do not crank for more than 6 seconds. If vehicle does not start in this amount of time, turn ignition of the disabled vehicle to OFF and allow to rest for 3 minutes before attempting again.
- Once disabled vehicle is started, remove booster cables in the opposite order of the connection sequence.
