• 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. Friction can
cause dangerous static-electrical sparks.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and substantial, non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
• Be extra careful to avoid dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
might spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part and
could cause an explosion.
• 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.
• Make sure to connect the clamps with correct polarity. Damage
caused by improper connection is not covered by the Warranty.
• 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.
