NOTE: In the rare case of jump-starting a vehicle that has a positive-
grounded vehicle electrical system, connect the black clamp to the
negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Then connect the 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 or call the Customer Technical
Assistance number: 1-800-SEARS-64.
Connect the black clamp to an unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle 4.4
chassis or engine block. Do not connect to the carburetor, fuel lines or
sheet-metal body parts. The Digital Display displays the vehicle’s voltage.
CAUTION: If you have connected the clamps backwards, an audio alarm
will sound. DO NOT turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. This could
cause serious damage. Reverse the connections and the audio alarm will
stop.
Turn ON the 4.5 JUMP START ON/OFF switch and then turn key and crank
the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking
and wait at least one minute before attempting to start the vehicle again.
This permits the battery to cool down.
After the engine starts, make sure to turn OFF the Jump Start switch. 4.6
Then disconnect the black clamp (-) and then the red clamp (+) in that
order.
Recharge the 1150 as soon as possible after use.4.7
CAUTION: To prevent sparking while the 1150 jump-start switch is in the
ON position, NEVER allow the clamps to touch together or to contact the
same piece of metal. Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.
