JUMPSTARTER
Read the instructions before using the iOnBoost!
JUMPSTART WARNINGS
Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage or explosion�
NOTE: Cranking an engine produces an accumulation of explosive gas above and near the
vehicle battery. Before any attempt to jumpstart a vehicle battery, make sure explosive gas is
dispelled from the area. Use a cardboard or newspaper fan to wave the gases away from the
battery for a few minutes. Do not use plastic or metal sheet—they can produce sparks and ignite
the gas.
• Jumpstart cables connected to iOnBoost are ALWAYS live! Never allow the clamps to touch
together or contact the same piece of metal.
• Do not attempt to jumpstart your vehicle when iOnBoost is below 80% charge (observe
battery status indicator lights on the unit—80%=4 solid lights).
• Only use this jumpstarter with 12 Volt negative–grounded systems. Most US vehicles have
negative (−) battery terminals connected to the vehicle frame. (Negative – Ground). Check
the negative battery terminal connecting wire to make sure it also connects to the frame.
• Make sure the jumpstarter clamps get connected to correct polarity (red to positive battery
terminal, black to vehicle frame for negative ground systems when jumpstarting).
• Use safety glasses to protect eyes while jumpstarting a battery.
• If the engine fails to start after two 3-second cranking attempts, discontinue jumpstart
procedure. Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle’s starter motor. Look for
other problems that may need to be corrected or call for professional service.
• Disconnecting cable clamps is always done in reverse order from connection sequence (see
Jumpstart Procedure below).
• Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery is
jumpstarted. Read your vehicle owner’s manual before attempting to start the vehicle to
determine if external starting assistance can be used.
