OWNERS MANUAL
PLEASE SAVE THIS OWNERS MANUAL AND READ BEFORE EACH USE.
This manual will explain how to use the unit safely and effectively. Please read and follow these instructions and precautions carefully.
1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE UNIT.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equip-
ment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
Keep out of reach of children.
1.1
Do not disassemble the jump starter. Take it to a qualified service professional if service or repair is required. Incorrect assembly may result in fire or electrical shock.
1.2
1.3 Do not use the jump starter to jump a vehicle while charging the internal battery.
1.4 Do not recharge the jump starter with a damaged extension cord.
The jump starter gets hot during charging and must have proper ventilation.
1.5
Do not set the jump starter on flammable materials, such as carpeting, upholstery, paper, cardboard, etc.
1.6
1.7 Place the jump starter as far away from the battery being jumped as the cables will permit.
1.8 Do not expose the jump starter to rain or snow.
Never attempt to jump start a frozen battery.
1.9
Never place the jump starter directly above battery being jumped.
1.10
1.11 To prevent arcing, never allow the clamps to touch together or to contact the same piece of metal.
1.12 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the jump starter manufacturer may result in damage to the unit or personal injury.
Never operate the jump starter if it is damaged.
1.13
If someone else uses the jump starter, ensure they are well informed on how to use it safely, and have read and understood the operating instructions.
1.14
1.15 The jump starter is NOT designed to be installed as a replacement for a vehicle battery.
1.16 Use ONLY on vehicles, boats and garden tractors powered with a 12V DC battery system.
If the engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts, disconnect the unit and look for other problems that may need to be corrected.
1.17
Use the jump starter for jump starting lead-acid batteries only. Do not use for dry cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances.

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2.1 Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing when working near lead-acid batteries. Always have someone nearby for help.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash immediately with soap and water and
seek medical attention.
If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for a minimum 10 minutes and get medical attention.
2.3
Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up.
2.4
Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring
2.5
to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.6 Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
This product contains a lithium ion battery. In case of fire, you may use water, a foam extinguisher, Halon, CO
2.7
or soda (sodium carbonate) to extinguish the fire. Once the fire is extinguished, douse the product with water, an aqueous-based extinguishing agent, or other nonalcoholic
liquids to cool the product and prevent the battery from re-igniting. NEVER attempt to pick up or move a hot, smoking, or burning product, as you may be injured.

PREPARING TO USE THE UNIT

WARNING! RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the unit is in use.
3.1
3.2 Clean the battery terminals before using the jump starter. During cleaning, keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking
soda and water to neutralize the battery acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's manual and make sure that the output voltage is 12V.
3.3
Make sure that the unit's cable clamps make tight connections.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTING TO A BATTERY

WARNING! A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Attach the output cables to the battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the output clamps to touch each other.
4.1
Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the jump starting
4.2
process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
4.3 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
4.4
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 4.6. If the
4.5
positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 4.7.
