• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used in a garage or enclosed
area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
• Do not use this unit to operate appliances that need more than 5 amps to operate from the 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
• Do not insert foreign objects into either the USB outlet or the 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING THIS UNIT
• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household extension cord (not supplied) for a full
24 hours before using for the first time. You cannot overcharge the unit using the AC charging method.
• To recharge this unit, use only the built-in AC Charger or supplied DC Charging Adapter.
• All ON/OFF switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make sure all switches are in the OFF position
before connection to a power source or load.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
• Outdoor use extension cords. When appliance is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
• Extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

When an extension cord is used, make sure that:
• a) the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger,
• b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
• c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: Pull cord by plug rather than cord when disconnecting the
120V AC Charging Adapter from the unit.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN CHARGING USING THE 12 VOLT DC METHOD:
• Recharge using this method only when necessary. Frequent use the the 12 Volt DC charging method may shorten battery life.
• DO NOT EXCEED 6 HOURS CHARGING TIME USING THIS METHOD.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMP STARTERS
WARNING: BURST HAZARD
Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause
injury to persons and damage property. Use the unit for charging/boosting a lead-acid battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a
low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application.
• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer specifically for use with this unit may result in a risk of
electrical shock and injury to persons.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this
reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the jump-starter you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
