Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit
2.6
battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
2.7
lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or
the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict ventilation in any way.
2.8
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
2.9
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not expose a power pack to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
2.10
265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
2.11
ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
Attach output cables to a battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the output clamps to touch
2.12
one another.
Restrictions on Use: The converter may not be used with life support devices or systems. Failure of
2.13
this converter can reasonably be expected to cause failure of that life support device or system, or to
affect the safety or effectiveness of that device or system.

CONNECTING THE JUMP STARTER

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 clips to
3.1
touch each other.
Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot engine parts.
3.2
NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the jump starting process, ensure that the hood does not
touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
3.3
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
3.4
diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to
3.5
the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 3.6. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 3.7.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the jump starter to the
3.6
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the
vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel
lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the jump starter to the
3.7
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or
sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
When disconnecting the jump starter, turn all switches to off (if applicable), remove the clip from the vehicle
3.8
chassis, then remove the clip from the battery terminal.
