Frequently Asked Questions - OJL-325 Ozito

What is the maximum current rating of the OJL-325 jumper leads?

The OJL-325 has a maximum current rating of 220A, suitable for jump starting most passenger vehicles.

Can I use these jumper leads on a diesel engine?

The manual specifies a maximum engine capacity of 2.5L petrol engines. For diesel engines, a higher capacity may be required. Check your vehicle specifications.

How do I connect the jumper leads correctly?

Always connect positive (red) first: connect one red clamp to the flat battery positive, then the other red clamp to the charged battery positive. Then connect the black clamp to the charged battery negative, and finally the last black clamp to a clean metal ground on the discharged vehicle, away from the battery.
