USE OF THE PSX
RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION OR BURNS
Before connecting the jumpstart cables, check the
jumper cables power switch to confirm that it is in the
OFF position. The reverse polarity warning function does
not protect the PSX or your vehicle from damage if the
cables are not correctly connected and the jumper
cables power switch is in the ON position. If the red
CAUTION
"cables reversed" LED illuminates and the warning
buzzer sounds when the cables are attached to the
vehicle battery, STOP! Make certain the Red positive
clamp on the jump start is connected to the Positive
battery terminal in the vehicle and the Black negative
clamp is grounded to the vehicle.
Never allow the jumpstart's red and black cable clamps to touch
each other or a common metal conductor. Such contact could
WARNING
cause sparking, an explosion and/or damage to the unit.
Connect red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal.
The black clamp should be attached to the engine block or other
non-moving metal part of stalled vehicle. Do not connect black
WARNING
clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal. Doing so could cause
damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
Do not try to jumpstart a battery for more than six seconds.
Allow the unit to cool for three minutes after each six second
WARNING
jumpstart.
The jumpstarting cable connection has enough energy to cause
a spark, create an explosion hazard, or cause burns if a metal
object contacts both terminals. Keep the jumpstart switch in the
WARNING
OFF position, except when executing the jump start procedure.
Do not turn on the jumpstarting function without having cables
securely attached.
