BOOSTER CABLE SUITABILITY
The Kincrome booster cables are suitable for use on both styles of battery types.
OPERATION OF THE BOOSTER CABLES
Connecting of the booster cables to your vehicle.
1. Starting with the battery clamps located at the opposite end of the surge protection (2) end of the cables connect
the (+) positive battery clamp (RED) (8) of the booster cables to the (+) positive battery terminal of your host/
booster battery.
2. Connect the 2nd (+) positive battery clamp (RED) (6) of the booster cables to the (+) positive battery terminal
of your vehicle with the dead/flat battery.
3. Connect the (-) negative battery clamp (BLACK) (9) of the booster cables to the (-) negative battery terminal
of your host/booster battery.
4. Make the final connection of the booster cables by connecting the (-) negative battery clamp (BLACK) (7)
of the booster cables to a substantial, unpainted point of the vehicle’s chassis or engine on the vehicle
with the dead/flat battery.
Note: Ensure that the connection point is away from the battery, carburettor, fuel lines or brake lines to minimize
any fire risk that could be caused by sparking.
Starting your vehicle with the Booster Cables connected.
1. Ensure that the booster cable leads are well clear of all moving parts and heat sources on both vehicles.
2. Start the engine of your “Good or Booster“ host vehicle and allow to run for approx. one minute.
3. Attempt to start the “Dead or Flat Battery “ vehicle and once started allow to run for a minimum one minute
before removing the booster cables.
Note: Do Not allow the booster cables to become hot. If the booster cables become hot during use switch off both
vehicles and allow the booster cables to cool down before attempting to restart the vehicle.
Disconnecting the Booster Cables from your vehicle.
1. Turn off the engine of your “Good or Booster” vehicle.
2. Remove the booster cables in reverse order to that described in “Connecting the booster cables to you vehicle”
points 1-4 on page 4 of this instruction manual.
3. Take great care to keep clear of all moving parts and hot areas of the vehicle’s engine bay when disconnecting
and removing the booster cables.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BOOSTER CABLES COMPONENTS
The Kincrome Booster Cables are equipped with additional features that will assist you when using the product.
Battery Condition Indicator ***(12/24V DC Indicatons noted below are a guide only)***
The battery condition voltage indicator (3) illuminates the vehicle’s battery voltage within the battery voltage display
(3) when the vehicle’s engine is not running.
Battery Voltage Indicating 10.5 Volts:12V / 22 Volts:24 V or Lower - indicates that the battery is very low in charge,
could be damaged & may not be capable of starting your vehicle.
Battery Voltage Indicating 11.5 Volts:12V / 23.5 Volts:24 V - indicates that the battery requires recharging or could
be damaged. Battery Voltage Indicating 12.3+ Volts:12V / 24.3 Volts: 24 V - indicates that the battery should be fully
charged and in good condition.
Testing the battery condition of your vehicle
1. Insulate both the + Positive Battery Clamp (RED) (6)
and - Negative Battery Clamp (BLACK) (7)
to a piece of non conductive material such
as a piece of timber (fig 1).
2. Then connect + Positive Battery Clamp (RED) (8)
to the + positive terminal of your vehicle battery,
then connect the - Negative Battery Clamp (BLACK) (9)
to the - negative terminal of your vehicle battery (fig 1).
3. Once the booster cables are connected to your battery
the battery voltage display (3) will display the batteries
voltage and can be interpreted as indicated above in
“Battery Condition LED Indicator”.
4. Once you have confirmed the battery condition
remove the booster cables.
Alternator Charge Check ***(12V & 24V DC Indications noted below are a guide only)***
The vehicle’s alternator function can be checked to ensure it is charging the vehicle’s battery at the correct rate.
With the booster cables connected to the vehicle and the engine running the battery voltage display (3) will indicate
the charging voltage of the alternator. In most cases the vehicle’s alternator should be functioning correctly if
the battery voltage display is indicating around 13.7-14+ Volts:12V or 24.7-25+ Volts : 24V. Check your vehicle’s
specifications for the correct recharge voltage requirements as charging voltages above 14 Volts:12V or 25 Volts: 24V
could indicate a concern with your vehicle’s alternator. This should be checked/verified by your local auto electrician
or vehicle service provider.
Testing the alternator function of your vehicle
1. Insulate both the + Positive Battery Clamp (RED) (6)
and - Negative Battery Clamp (BLACK) (7) to a piece
of non conductive material such as a piece of timber
(fig 2).
2. Then connect + Positive Battery Clamp (RED) (8)
to the + positive terminal of your vehicle battery, then
connect the - Negative Battery Clamp (BLACK) (9)
to the - negative terminal of your vehicle battery (fig 2).
3. Start your vehicle and see if the vehicle’s alternator is
functioning correctly by inspecting the vehicle’s
charging voltage shown on the battery voltage display
(3), then review the results as indicated above in

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BOOSTER CABLES COMPONENTS (Cont.)
Reverse Polarity LED Indicator (4)
The reverse polarity LED indicator (4) illuminates RED and also omits an audible tone when
you have incorrectly connected the booster cables battery connection clamps to your
vehicle’s battery.
Reverse Polarity LED indicator illuminated RED & Audible tone.
1. Connect + Positive Battery Clamp (RED) (8) to the + positive terminal of your
host/booster vehicle battery, then connect the - negative battery clamp (BLACK) (9)
to the - negative terminal of your vehicle battery.
2. Once you have connected your booster cables to your vehicle check to see if the reverse
polarity LED indicator (4) is illuminated RED & audible tone is heard. If the LED is
illuminated RED and you can hear an audible tone you may have mistakenly connected the
incorrect battery clamp to the wrong battery terminal of your vehicle.
3. Disconnect the booster cables from the vehicle’s battery and reconnect as indicated
above in point 1.
4. If the reverse polarity LED indicator (4) is not illuminated and no audible tone can be heard
then you have connected the booster cables correctly to your host vehicle and you can now
continue to connect the battery clamps (6 & 7) to the vehicle with a flat battery.
PROBLEM CAUSES SOLUTIONS
“Dead or Flat “ battery vehicle
engine will not turn over.
Insufficient / bad booster cable clamp
connection A. Reconnect the booster cables as indicated in “Connecting the booster
cables to your vehicle”
B. Check the battery terminals are
corrosion free or clean and reconnect
the booster cables to both vehicles.
Booster cables connected incorrectly Check if the reverse polarity LED (4)
is illuminated RED and an audible
tone can be heard. If illuminated RED
disconnect and reconnect the booster
cables to your vehicle as indicated in
“connecting the booster cables to your
vehicle”.
Booster cables getting too hot. Incorrect booster cables being used Check the vehicle’s battery AMP rating
and change the booster cables to the
correct AMP type/size.
Other areas of the vehicle’s
management system may not be
working correctly stopping the vehicle
from starting. This can cause excessive
cranking of the vehicle’s engine and
overload on the booster cables.
Discontinue trying to jump start your
vehicle and seek advise from an
automotive expert before trying to
jump start the vehicle again.
