attempting jump-start procedure.
10. Lead-acid batteries generate hydrogen gas during normal operation. More
gas is generated when the battery is charging. Hydrogen gas is explosive,
poisonous to breathe and highly flammable.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life,
protect this unit from direct sunlight, direct heat and moisture.
This system is to be used ONLY on vehicles, boats, garden tractors and
gasoline powered generators with 12 Volt DC battery systems.
This system is NOT designed to be installed as a replacement for a vehicle
battery.
This HUSKY® PORTABLE POWER SYSTEM is equipped with a manual
ON/OFF switch. Once the connections are properly made, turn the
switch ON and you are ready to jump-start the vehicle.

2. Make sure jump-start system’s ON/OFF power switch is turned to OFF.
3. Remove jumper clamps from clamp tabs.
4. To jump-start a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (NEGATIVE BATTERY
TERMINAL IS CONNECTED TO CHASSIS -MOST COMMON)
4a. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle battery’s positive terminal.
4b. Connect negative (-) black clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving,
metal vehicle component or body part.
Never clamp directly to
negative battery terminal or moving part
.
5. To jump-start POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS (
NOTE: In the rare event
that the vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded System, positive
battery terminal is connected to chassis, replace steps 4a and 4b above
with steps 5a and 5b, then go to steps 6 through 8 below.)
5a. Connect negative (-) black clamp to vehicle battery’s negative terminal
5b. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-
moving, metal vehicle component or body part. DO NOT CLAMP
DIRECTLY TO POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL OR MOVING PART.
