Learn About Your FLX13000 Jump Starter!
Read vehicle owner's manual: The vehicle manufacturer may
have specific cautions and instructions about jumping your
vehicle of which you should be aware.
If available, you should wear safety glasses and gloves while
jumping your vehicle.
Make sure your FLX13000 has at least 3 indicator lights illumi-
nated.
Remove any and all USB and/or charging devices connected to
the FLX13000.
Make sure the vehicle battery terminals, jumper cables and
FLX13000 battery pack are free of any moisture.
Turn off ALL electronics in your vehicle (air conditioner, heat,
radio, lights, chargers, etc.) to ensure optimal performance of
your FLX13000.
Ensure key is in the "OFF" position in the ignition. For
smart-key fobs (push-to- start vehicles), make sure the vehicle
is completely "OFF" before jump starting.
Check battery terminals for buildup. If buildup is present, try to
clean off terminals with a wire brush or a dry cloth. A clean
terminal will provide the best conductivity between your clamps,
Quick Start Guide - Ready, Get Set, Jump Your Vehicle!
Do not attach clamps to FLX13000 yet! First, securely attach the black clamp to the
vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal, then the red clamp to the vehicle's positive
(+) battery terminal. Make sure the copper teeth of the clamps are making good
contact with the battery terminals for an optimal connection.
Securely fasten the clamps into your FLX13000. Check that you have a secure
connection between the terminals and clamps, and between the clamps and
FLX13000 (figure 3).

Jump Starting a Vehicle:
Please see the FLX13000 Quick Start Guide for step-by-step procedures on how to
jump your vehicle.
Many of us have had the dreaded experience of returning to our vehicles only to find
they will not start. Most of the time the culprit is a dead or drained battery for which
we needed to call for help or flag down a fellow driver.
By owning a FLX13000 Jump Starter you have everything you need to jump start a
vehicle - no need to wait for help to arrive. FLX13000 to the rescue!
We know you're excited, but before jumping your vehicle, please be sure to take
some precautionary steps:
Read your vehicle owner's manual first as the manufacturer may have specific
steps and precautions that pertain to your vehicle.
Thoroughly follow the FLX13000 Quick Start Guide and review the FLX13000
Owner's Manual.
Remove any and all moisture from your FLX13000 unit and accessories, as well as
your vehicle's battery. NEVER attempt to jump start a vehicle when moisture is
•

Properly identify the vehicle battery's positive and negative terminals before con-
necting the clamps.
When using the clamps, DO NOT allow the metal teeth of the clamps to touch one
another. This will cause a short circuit which could cause a spark and may compro-
mise your clamps.
When using the clamps, DO NOT connect the RED clamp to the vehicle battery's
negative (-) terminal, or the BLACK clamp to the vehicle battery's positive (+) termi-
nal. This will cause a reversal of polarity and could compromise your clamps.
When connecting the FLX13000 clamps to the battery terminals, please ensure that
you have a secure connection. The copper teeth of the clamp should be securely
attached to the metallic portion of the terminal. The better the connection, the easier
it will be to start your vehicle.
NOTE: When adjusting the clamps please be sure to first disconnect the FLX13000.
This will prevent the occurrence of minor sparks.

tion. If the lights dim after you turn key to ON, your battery is weak and needs to be Jumped.

My car won't start. How do I know the battery is the issue?
I followed the necessary steps but my vehicle is still unable to start. Now what?
After an unsuccessful jump do not attempt again for another 60 seconds so as to not strain
your FLX13000.
Your clamps could be compromised. Detach FLX13000 from clamps. If it still powers
on, this means the issue may be within the clamps' safety features (fuse on black
clamp, diode on red clamp):
If you connected your clamps to the wrong battery terminals, you could have experi-
enced a reverse polarity and blown the safety diode on your red clamp. To order a
new set of clamps, please visit contact the seller.
If your vehicle has drawn too much power from the FLX13000, you could have blown
the safety fuse on your black clamp. To order a new set of clamps, please contact
the seller.
Your engine is too powerful for your FLX13000.
Our batteries work very hard to supply the power you need, but some engines
demand more than your FLX13000 can give. You may want to try the next larger
jump starter.
Your battery terminals are dirty:
Build-up on your battery terminals may be hindering conductivity. Make sure your
terminals are clean before attaching the clamps. You can use a wire brush or dry
cloth to clean your terminals.
There may be a poor connection:
A poor connection between the clamps and the terminals can prevent a successful
engine start. Disconnect the FLX13000 from the clamps, then adjust the clamps to
ensure the most secure connection. Reconnect the FLX13000 and try again.
Your vehicle battery may not be the issue.
In most instances, a dead battery is preventing an engine start, but sometimes it
goes much deeper than that. There may be other functions in your vehicle that aren't
working properly, thus preventing a successful engine start. Please refer to your
vehicle owner's manual or visit your local service garage to determine what the issue

FLX13000 has enough charge.
If the automotive devices are ignited when the battery capacity is low, the jump start-
er could fail to operate due to the inner chip safety protection function been activat-
ed. This can be re-activated and reset by charging the device.
Check that the charger is securely attached to the FLX13000 input port.
You may have a faulty outlet. Try plugging your FLX13000 charger into an alternate
outlet.
