Please be sure to perform the following steps in the listed order.

BEFORE YOU START

Turn off all accessories on the vehicle (headlights, etc.).Look at the car battery and identify the positive (+) terminal.  The red cable is typically the positive terminal, but it is good practice to look for the ‘+’ sign on the battery next to the battery post.

JUMP START PROCEDURE

The jumper cables should be unplugged from the JumPack. Attach the jumper cables directly to the battery:  red clamp to the positive  (+)  terminal and black clamp to the negative  (–)  terminal.Now plug the jumper cables into the JumPack.  The connector will fit only one way.Set the JumPack in a location where it will not fall.  Make sure that the JumPack and the jumper cables will be clear of any moving parts (radiator fan, pulleys, etc.).You may now try starting the engine.

WARNING:  Do not crank the engine for more than 3 seconds.  Doing so can cause the JumPack to overheat.  Allow a 1-minute cooling time between starting attempts.

AFTER THE ENGINE STARTS

Immediately after the engine starts, unplug the jumper cables from the JumPack.  Disconnect the jumper cables from the battery.

Don’t forget to recharge your JumPack so that it will be ready when needed.
