Jump-starting a Vehicle or Boat Engine
You can use the Jazz PP 300 C to jump-start a vehicle or boat
engine that has a 12 volt starting battery using the supplied
Jump-Start Cables.
To jump-start 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 jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine
compartment and bilge of all fumes before jump-starting.
4. Connect the jump-start cables to the jumper cable port on
the left side of the Jazz PP 300 C.
5. Position the Jazz PP 300 C on a flat, stable surface near
the battery and away from all moving parts of the engine.
6. Connect the red positive (+) clip of the jump-start 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.
7. Connect the black negative (–) clip of the jump-start
cables to the engine block, cylinder head, or other
stationary heavy metal part of the motor, or to the
negative (–) battery terminal.
If the positive and negative clips are properly connected,
the Battery Clips Connected Properly (green light)
illuminates.
Important:
Closely follow these instructions for jump-
starting your vehicle as they are different from the
instructions supplied with other jump-start products or
booster cables.
