Jump-Starting A Vehicle's Engine - Duracell Powerpack Pro 300 Owner's Manual

To jump-start a vehicle or boat engine:
1. Turn OFF the vehicle or boat ignition and all
accessories.
2. Engage the park or emergency brake and place the
transmission in park for an automatic or neutral for a
manual.
3. If jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine
compartment and bilge of all fumes.
4. Position the Duracell® Powerpack Pro on a fl at, stable
surface near the battery and away from all moving
parts of the engine. Ensure that the jump-starting
power switch is OFF.
5. Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the cables to the
positive (+) terminal of the engine battery. The battery's
positive terminal is usually larger in diameter than
the negative terminal. In most vehicles, the battery's
positive terminal has a red wire connected to it.
6. Connect the black negative (–) clamp of the cables
to the engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary
heavy metal part of the motor.
7. If the "Clamps Reversed" LED illuminates, then reverse
polarity has been detected. Correct polarity must be
established before proceeding. Disconnect the jump-
start clamps from the vehicle's battery and redo steps 5
and 6 in this procedure.
8. Switch ON the jump-starting power switch. Before
starting the engine, make sure the Duracell
Powerpack Pro and the cables are clear of belts and
fans.
9. Crank the engine for 4 seconds or until it starts,
whichever is fi rst.
