Important Safety Information

WARNING: Explosion hazard

Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline-powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed AGM battery in the XPower Powerpack 300, vent explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.

When working on electrical equipment, always ensure someone is nearby to help you in an emergency.

WARNING: Heated surface

Ensure at least 2" (5 cm) air space is maintained on all sides of the XPower Powerpack 300. During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Never allow jump-start cables’ 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. Always store the clamps in the appropriate holder on each side of the XPower Powerpack after use.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Jump-start cable clamps must be connected positive to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to battery ”). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.

WARNING: Limitations on use

Do not use this product in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.
