The Speedwav
- 200 AMP Jumper Leads Cable Car Battery Booster provides that extra
strength to jump your car when you really need. It is a must have for any car
truck in case of a dead battery. The booster cables are insulated with T-Prene coating, which is designed to
remain flexible down to -94 degrees Fahrenheit. This 4-gauge, heavy-duty cable is the strongest consumer grade product
available, and they resist motor oil,
rain, and chemicals for extreme dependability.
Usage:
1. Position another car near yours so that
the batteries are close but do not let the vehicles touch. Switch off the
ignition and all electrical equipment on both vehicles, apply the handbrakes,
and ensure that the gears are in neutral (manual transmission vehicles) or ‘P’
for automatics. Open the bonnets.
2. Connect one end of the red jump lead to
the positive (+) terminal of the flat battery – do not let the other end of the
red lead touch any vehicle metal – and connect the other end of the red lead to
the positive (+) terminal of the boosting battery.
3. Connect one end of the black jump lead
to the negative (-) terminal of the boosting battery and connect the other end
of the black lead to a bolt or metal bracket, well away from the battery, on
the engine block of the vehicle to be started.
4. Ensure that the jump leads cannot come
into contact with any moving parts of either engine. Start the engine of the
boosting vehicle and run it at a fast idle speed. Now start the engine of your
vehicle and check that it is running properly.
5. Stop the engine of the boosting vehicle
only. Switch on the lights, the heated rear window and the heater blower motor
on your vehicle - this is to prevent any voltage surges. Disconnect the jump
leads in the reverse order of connection, then switch off the lights etc. Close
the bonnets.
6. Now you can drive off. It will take a little
time for the alternator to charge the battery fully, so don’t stop the engine
again too soon and try not to stall it while driving!
