JUMP STARTING A VEHICLE ENGINE
NOTE: Use only model number SA889 jump cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the jump starter while charging its
internal battery.
IMPORTANT: Using the jump starter without a battery installed
in the vehicle will damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
NOTE: The internal battery must have a charge if at least 40% to
jump start a vehicle.
1.
Turn the ignition OFF.
2.
Plug the battery clamp cable into the jump starter’s output
socket.
3.
Lay the DC cables away from any fan blades, belts, pulleys
and other moving parts. Make sure all of the vehicle’s electrical
devices are turned off.

For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE
(RED) clamp from the jump starter to the POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away
from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor,
fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
5.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp from the jump starter to the NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE
(RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from
the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel
lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.

Slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.The green LED
on the smart cable should light. NOTE: If the vehicle battery
is extremely discharged, the initial current draw from the
jump starter may activate short circuit protection in the smart
cable. When the condition is corrected, the smart cable will
automatically reset.
7.
After a proper connection has been made, crank the engine. If
the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking and
wait at least 1 minute before attempting to start the vehicle again.
NOTE: If the car does not crank a second time, check the smart
cable to see if the green LED is lit. If you hear beeping or an
LED is flashing, refer to section 10, Troubleshooting. When the
condition is corrected, the smart cable will automatically reset.
