Jump Starting a Vehicle: Step-by-Step Instructions
Before jump starting, ensure the vehicle is in Park or Neutral with the parking brake engaged․ Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle’s battery, then the black clamp to a grounded metal surface away from the battery․
Activate the jump starter and allow a few minutes for initial charge transfer if the battery is deeply discharged․ Attempt to start the vehicle; if it doesn’t start immediately, wait a few minutes between attempts․ Disconnect clamps in reverse order after a successful jump start․
Connecting the Clamps Correctly (Positive & Negative)
Correct clamp connection is crucial for a safe jump start․ Always begin by attaching the red (positive) clamp to the vehicle’s positive (+) battery terminal – often marked with a plus sign or red cover․ Next, securely connect the black (negative) clamp to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle’s chassis, away from the battery․
Never connect the black clamp directly to the negative (-) battery terminal, as this can create sparks and potentially ignite flammable gases․ Ensure a firm grip on both terminals before activating the jump starter․
Jump Starting Procedure – Detailed Steps
After correctly connecting the clamps, power on the Type S jump starter․ The indicator lights should illuminate, confirming it’s ready․ Attempt to start the vehicle as you normally would․ If it doesn’t start immediately, wait a minute and try again, but avoid prolonged cranking (under 10 seconds) to prevent overheating the starter․
If the vehicle still fails to start after several attempts, check the clamp connections and ensure they are secure․ Discontinue attempts and consult a mechanic to diagnose the underlying issue․
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If the jump starter won’t power on, first verify it has been adequately charged․ A low battery is the most frequent cause․ Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the device and a power source․ If the vehicle doesn’t start after a jump attempt, double-check the clamp connections – positive to positive, negative to a grounded metal surface․
Insufficient charge or a faulty vehicle battery can also be culprits․ If problems persist, consult the detailed troubleshooting section or contact Type S support for assistance․
Jump Starter Won’t Turn On
If your Type S jump starter fails to power on, the primary suspect is often a depleted battery․ Connect the unit to the charger using the provided cable and ensure a secure connection at both ends․ Allow sufficient charging time – several hours are recommended for a full charge․ Verify the charging indicator illuminates, signaling power reception․
