FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTING TO A BATTERY6.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Attach the output cables to the battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the 6.1
output clips to touch each other.
Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or 6.2
hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the jump starting
process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut
the insulation of the cables.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.6.3
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually 6.4
has a larger diameter then the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the 6.5
negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 6.5. If the
positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the battery 6.6
Instant Power™ to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the battery 6.7
Instant Power™ to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect
the POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery.
Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
When disconnecting the Instant Power™, turn all switches to off (if applicable), remove 6.8
the clip from the vehicle chassis and then remove the clip from the battery terminal.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
The Instant Power™ charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. The plug must 7.1
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must t the receptacle (outlet). Do not
use with an ungrounded system. NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian Regulations, use of an
adapter plug is not allowed in Canada. Use of an adapter plug in the United States is not
recommended and should not be used.
