WARNING:

This product or its power cord contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING: BURST HAZARD:

Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home

appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage property. Use the unit for
charging/boosting a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other
than in a starter-motor application.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD:

• If an extension cord is used, make sure that:

a) the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger,
b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger as indicated in the table on page 1.

• Do not operate unit with damaged cord or plug; or if the unit has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or

otherwise damaged in any way. Do not disassemble the unit; take it to a qualified service technician when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire, and will void
warranty.

• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer specifically for use with this unit may

result in a risk of electrical shock and injury to persons.

• NEVER submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to rain, snow or use when wet.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance or

cleaning. Turning off controls without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal

battery operation. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the jump-starter
you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.

• 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.

• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used in a garage

or enclosed area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.

• THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY ADULTS.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:

• Pull cord by plug rather than cord when disconnecting the 120V AC Charging Adapter from the unit.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• To recharge this unit, use only the supplied AC Charging Adapter.
• 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.
• 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.

• 

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service

When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and

so marked.

• EXTENSION CORDS.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to

use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
