• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or power station
• 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 gauge 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 gauge 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 (red) and the unit will sound a beep. 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 DC 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.
• FIRST AID – SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then wash
thoroughly with soap and water. 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.
• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household extension cord
(not supplied) for a full 48 hours before using for the first time. You cannot overcharge the unit using the AC
charging method.
• 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.
• Never insert anything other than the supplied recommended appliance power/recharging cords into the 12 volt
DC power outlet on this unit.
• Do not use any accessory that is not recommended or provided by the manufacturer.
• Do not use this unit to operate appliances that need more than 5 amps to operate from the 12 volt DC accessory
outlet.
• 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.
• Read And Understand This Instruction Manual Before Using This Unit.
