WARNING:

~
Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another
common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit and/
or create a sparking/explosion hazard. Always disconnect the
clamps from the unit after use and clip the plastic guard over the
jump-start cable port.

Jump-start cable clamps' connection to the vehicle's battery
terminals must be positive to positive (red clamp to battery
