Boosting a Vehicle’s Engine

To boost a vehicle or boat engine:

1. Turn off the vehicle or boat ignition and all accessories.

2. Engage the park or emergency brake and place the

transmission in park for an automatic or neutral for a

manual.

3. If boosting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment

and bilge of all fumes before boosting.

4. Position the XPower Powerpack on a flat, stable surface

near the battery and away from all moving parts of the

engine.

Ensure that the Boosting Power Switch is OFF.

5. Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the cables to the

positive (+) terminal of the engine battery.

The battery’s positive terminal is usually larger in

diameter than the negative terminal. In most vehicles, the

battery’s positive terminal has a red wire connected to it.

6. Connect the black negative (–) clamp of the cables to the

engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy

metal part of the motor.

If the Red Boosting Connection LED illuminates and the

XPower Powerpack’s alarm sounds, then reverse polarity

has been detected. Correct polarity must be established

before proceeding. Disconnect the boosting clamps from

the vehicle’s battery and redo steps 5 and 6 in this

procedure.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Boosting cable clamps’ connection to the vehicle’s battery

terminals must be positive to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and

negative to negative (black clamp to battery “–”). A reverse polarity

connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/

or create a sparking/explosion hazard.

Important: Closely follow these instructions for boosting your

vehicle as they may be different from the instructions supplied

with other boosting products or boosting cables.
