3.9 If you have connected the clamps of your IP-180KE backwards, an audio
alarm will sound. DO NOT turn your IP-180KE on. This could cause seri-
ous damage. Reverse the connections, and the audio alarm will stop.
3.10 If no audio alarm is sounded, turn ON the Jump Start switch and then
crank the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop
cranking and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to start vehicle
again. (This permits the battery to cool down.)
3.11 After the engine starts, make sure to turn OFF the Jump Start switch.
Then disconnect the black clamp (-) and then the red clamp (+) in that
order. Store the clamps on the ears located on the sides of the case.
3.12 NOTE: In the rare case of jump-starting a vehicle that has a positive-
grounded vehicle electrical system, connect the NEGATIVE black clamp
(-) to the negative terminal (-) of the vehicle battery. Then connect the
POSITIVE red clamp (+) to an unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle
chassis or engine block. If you are unsure of the nature of the vehicle's
electrical grounding system, check the owner's manual of the vehicle. To
disconnect clamps, reverse order.
