INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the
300 Amp Jump-Starter
. This compact jump-starter is unique in the amount of
energy it can supply for its size. The internal battery is a high density sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and
delivers energy comparable to full sized ordinary jump-starters. Please read this guide carefully before use to
ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to the unit or items that you are using it with.
The
300 Amp Jump-Starter
is a compact, durable, portable jump-start system for vehicles that have a
standard 12 volt battery system. This self-contained, rechargeable system will start most vehicles without the
need for a host vehicle or 12 volt DC power supply.

•Built-in non-spillable, maintenance-free, heavy duty, sealed, lead-acid battery
•Requires no maintenance (other than recharging) for optimum operation
•Heavy duty cables and clamps
•Built-in LED Area Light
•Reverse polarity connection warning indicator
•Exclusive cable storage channels keep jumper cables out of the way until needed
•Built-in 120 Volt AC Charger (uses a standard extension cord, not included)

CHARGING/RECHARGING
This product has a sealed lead acid battery. For maximum battery life, we recommend the Jump-Starter be kept
fully charged at all times. Recharge before first use, immediately after each use, and once a month if not used.
Failure to do this may reduce the battery life dramatically. To check the battery charge status at any time, press
the Battery Charge Level Pushbutton.
Note:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC
charge should be for 24 hours.

• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Always store battery clamps when not in use. Never touch battery clamps together. This can cause dangerous
sparks, power arcing and/or explosion.
• When using this unit close to the vehicle’s battery and engine, stand the unit on a flat, stable surface, and be sure
to keep all clamps, cords, clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle parts.
• 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.
a) For negative-grounded systems, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE ungrounded battery
post and 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. Refer to the automobile owner’s manual.
b) For positive-grounded systems, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the NEGATIVE ungrounded
battery post and 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. Refer to the automobile owner’s manual.
• If the connections to the battery’s POSITIVE and NEGATIVE terminals are incorrect, the Reverse Polarity Indicator
will light (red) and the unit will sound a beep. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• Always disconnect the negative (Black) jumper cable first, followed by the positive (Red) jumper cable, except
for positive grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before disposing of the battery, protect
exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• FIRST AID – SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then wash
thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
EYES: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately, for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household extension cord
(not supplied) for a full 24 hours before using for the first time. You cannot overcharge the unit using the AC
charging method.
• All ON/OFF switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make sure all
switches are in the OFF position before connection to a power source or load.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 volt DC battery system. Do not connect to a 6 volt
or 24 volt battery system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular battery. Do not attempt to operate a
vehicle that does not have a battery installed.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle’s starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the
recommended number of attempts, discontinue jump-start procedures and look for other problems that may
need to be corrected.
• Do not use this jump-starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright during storage,
use and recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect it from direct
sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
• Read And Understand This Instruction Manual Before Using This Unit.
