1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS

DANGER! - BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON,

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE PROJUMP EQUIPMENT.

Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer, and the maker of any equipment you intend to use in the

vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines. ,

1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

3Ensure that Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using

this equipment.

3Ensure that there is another person with you especially within hearing range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid should a problem

arise when working near a lead-acid battery.

3Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high

enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns.

3Ensure that hands and clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.

3Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

7DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

7DO NOT drop any metal tool onto the battery as It may spark or short circuit the battery which could cause an explosion.

7 DO NOT use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards relating to this product. Also, refer to the vehicle manufacturers

handbook. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN.

3Ensure that the Projump is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact an electrician.

7 DO NOT dis-assemble the Projump for any reason. The Projump must be checked only by qualified service personnel.

3Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and

will invalidate your warranty.

WARNING! Check that both vehicle batteries are the same voltage.

3Ensure that vehicles are not touching before attempting to use these leads.

3Keep tools and other items away from the engines, and ensure that you can see the battery and

the working parts of the engine clearly.

3Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.

3Ensure that the jump leads are not tangled and are clear of moving or hot engine parts.

7DO NOT allow the clamps to touch each other or to make contact with the vehicle bodywork, as

this may result in arcing.

7 DO NOT cross connect the power leads to the battery. Ensure positive is to positive and negative is to negative.

7 DO NOT pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.

7 DO NOT operate in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.

7 DO NOT try to jump start a frozen battery.

7 DO NOT use or store the Projump in damp or wet locations.

2.1. Introduction

Many of today's vehicles are crammed with sensitive electronic equipment including ECUs, Air Bag sensors, Digital Dashes, Alarms, Car Radios,

Telephones and In-Car Security Systems. The potential for damage to these items from carrying out even basic work on the vehicle is huge.

Transient spikes and surges generated by making/breaking contacts can 'fry' electronic cards or, at the very least, lead to premature failure.

By using the PROJUMP Surge Protected Booster Cables, you will protect not only your own vehicle from these dangers, but also the 'sick' vehicle.

The Traffic Light system clearly shows if it is safe to proceed with the jump-start before any serious damage can be done.

NOTE: A good battery will start a vehicle with a flat battery, provided the rest of the system is functioning correctly. If the flat battery will not maintain

the vehicle operation, or, if the flat battery later fails again, consult a qualified vehicle electrician.

p WARNING! ENSURE THAT YOU READ, UNDERSTAND AND APPLY SECTION 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. IF IN ANY DOUBT REFER

TO THE VEHICLE HANDBOOK, OR CONTACT A QUALIFIED VEHICLE ELECTRICIAN.

3.1. BEFORE CONNECTING THE PROJUMP

3.1.1. Check that both vehicles have the same voltage batteries.

3.1.2. Ensure that vehicles are not touching.

3.1.3. Switch off all electrical equipment on both vehicles, including ignition, select neutral gears (or Park if automatic) and apply handbrakes.

3.1.4. Determine which battery terminal (positive or negative) on the flat battery and on the good battery is connected to the vehicle bodywork or

chassis. These are the EARTH terminals. The terminals connected to the vehicle electrical systems are the LIVE terminals.

FOR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME POLARITY, I.E. BOTH NEGATIVE OR BOTH POSITIVE EARTH, REFER TO 3.2.

FOR VEHICLES WITH DIFFERENT POLARITY REFER TO 3.3.

When connecting positive terminal to positive terminal (or to positive earth) use the red Projump cable. When connecting negative terminal

to negative terminal (or to negative earth) use the black Projump cable.

3.2. VEHICLES WITH SAME POLARITY

3.2.1. Connect the LIVE terminal of the good battery to the LIVE terminal of the flat battery.

3.2.2. Connect the EARTH terminal of the good battery to a suitable earthing point on the engine or chassis of the vehicle with the flat battery.

p WARNING! DO NOT use the vehicle fuel system (i.e. fuel lines or carburettor/injection system) for earthing.

3.2.3. Check the Traffic Light system on the Projump, as in 3.4. below.

p WARNING! DO NOT REV THE DONOR VEHICLE ENGINE WHILST ATTEMPTING TO JUMP-START. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A

HIGH VOLTAGE DISCHARGE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

s CAUTION! Before attempting the jump-start, start the donor vehicle engine and allow it to run for about one minute.

When the donor engine is running smoothly (DO NOT REV THE ENGINE), try to start the vehicle with the flat battery. If the Projump cables

become excessively hot, allow a few minutes for them to cool before trying again.

3.3. VEHICLES WITH DIFFERENT POLARITY

3.3.1. Connect the EARTH terminal of the good battery to the LIVE terminal of the flat battery.

3.3.2. Connect the LIVE terminal of the good battery to a suitable earthing point on the engine or chassis of the vehicle with the flat battery.

p WARNING! DO NOT use the vehicle fuel system (i.e. fuel lines or carburettor/injection system) for earthing.

3.3.3. Check the Traffic Light system on the Projump, as in 3.4. below.

p WARNING! DO NOT REV THE DONOR VEHICLE ENGINE WHILST ATTEMPTING TO JUMP-START. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A

HIGH VOLTAGE DISCHARGE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

s CAUTION! Before attempting the jump-start, start the donor vehicle engine and allow it to run for about one minute.

When the donor engine is running smoothly (DO NOT REV THE ENGINE), try to start the vehicle with the flat battery. If the Projump cables

become excessively hot, allow a few minutes for them to cool before trying again.
