iOnBoost™ V6 by Wagan Tech®8JUMPSTARTERJUMPSTART WARNINGSFailure to follow these instructions may cause damage or explosion�NOTE: Cranking an engine produces an accumulation of explosive gas above and near the vehiclebattery. Before any attempt to jumpstart a vehicle battery, make sure explosive gas is dispelledfrom the area. Use a cardboard or newspaper fan to wave the gases away from the battery for afew 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 touchtogether or contact the same piece of metal.• Do not attempt to jumpstart your vehicle when iOnBoost is below 20% charge (observebattery status indicator lights on the unit).• Only use this jumpstarter with 12 Volt negative – grounded systems. Most US vehicles havenegative (-) battery terminals connected to the vehicle frame. (Negative – Ground). Checkthe 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 batteryterminal, 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 jumpstartprocedure. Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle’s starter motor. Look for otherproblems that may need to be corrected or call for professional service.• Disconnecting cable clamps is always done in reverse order from connection sequence (seeJumpstart Procedure below).• Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery isjumpstarted. Read your vehicle owner’s manual before attempting to start the vehicle todetermine if external starting assistance can be used.• If the iOnBoost is overloaded while in the jumpstart mode, quickly disconnect the negativethen positive clamps. All functions on the iOnBoost will not operate if the unit wasoverloaded. To recover from overload, let the unit rest for 10 minutes then plug it into apower source for a few minutes to reset the unit. All functions on the iOnBoost will notoperate until this is done.Brief Recap of Sequences for Connection and Disconnection231ORDER OF CONNECTION2.
