• 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.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read
the vehicle’s owner’s manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.
• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns. Be
aware of first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or power station
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead acid battery. A lead acid
battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or similar metal object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle when jump-starting a vehicle. Friction can cause dangerous static-
electrical sparks.
• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Always store battery clamps when not in use. Never touch battery clamps together. This can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing
and/or explosion.
• When using this unit close to the vehicle’s battery and engine, stand the unit on a flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all
clamps, cords, clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle parts.
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor — this could cause damage to the
unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
a) For negative-grounded systems, connect the positive (red) clamp to the positive ungrounded battery post and the negative
(black) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel
lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
b) For positive-grounded systems, connect the negative (black) clamp to the negative ungrounded battery post and the positive
(red) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines
or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
• If the connections to the battery’s positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the reverse polarity indicator will light and the
unit will sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are disconnected. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct
polarity.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) jumper cable first, followed by the positive (red) jumper cable, except for positive
grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with
heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 volt DC battery system. Do not connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt battery
system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular battery. Do not attempt to operate a vehicle that does not
have a battery installed.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle’s starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the recommended number of
attempts, discontinue jump-start procedures and look for other problems that may need to be corrected.
• Do not use this jump starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright during storage, use and
recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or
moisture.
FIRST AID
• Skin: If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water for at least 10 minutes. If redness, pain, or
irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
• Eyes: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately, for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
