● From a DC12 volts power supply it takes approximately 72 hours for the full
charge LED (Green) to come on.
Note: The unit can be used before the full charge LED (Green) comes on
if the jumpstart has already been charged for 5-6 hours or more.
HOW TO JUMPSTART A CAR
The JUMPSTART provides a current up to 400 Amp (Peak 900Amp) to assist with the
starting of a car when the car battery is flat.
Check to ensure the following before connecting the booster cable clamps to
the car battery:
● Ensure the ignition is off and the jumpstart is fully charged.
● Ensure the vehicle ignition and all ancillary equipment - lighting, radio etc. are switched
off.
● Ensure the vehicle battery is rated at 12V and is not damaged in any way.
● Ensure the battery terminals are perfectly clean, the clamps are firm and perfectly
secure.
● Remove vehicle battery filler plugs and check electrolyte level. If necessary, top up with
distilled water.
Follow the steps below to jumpstart your car:
1. Connect the red clamp, item 7b, to the "+" terminal of the car battery.
2. Connect the black clamp, item 7a, to the chassis or engine component well away from
the fuel lines or any moving parts, ensure the connections are secure.
3. Switch the vehicle ignition on and leave in this condition FOR APPROX TWO
MINUTES. (This will provide the vehicle battery with a short 'boost' charge to allow for
easier starting).
4. Switch the ignition to 'start' for no more than 6 seconds, if the engine does not start
within this time, switch off the ignition and wait for at least 3 minutes before trying again.
5. Once the engine starts running, disconnect the earthed clamp (black) first and return it
to its storage position, then disconnect the unearthed clamp (red) from the battery
terminal and restore it to its storage position.
