clamps together—this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing and/or explosion.

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 minimum of 15 minutes — SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

3. CHARGING/RECHARGING

For maximum battery life, we recommend that the START-IT™system be kept fully charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life may be shortened. Note: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent discharges between recharges will reduce battery life.

IMPORTANT:

• MAKE SURE SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN OFF POSITION DURING RECHARGING.

• Charge unit until full (can take up to 24 hours)

• Recharge unit fully after each use.

• Recharge unit every two months, when it has not been used.

1.Simply plug the 110/120-volt AC plug of the AC/DC adapter/charger cord into any standard 110/120-volt AC wall outlet.

2.Plug the 12-volt DC cigarette type plug into the 12-volt DC receptacle on the unit.

3.Charge this device for at least 14-16 hours or until the FULL indicator lights when Charge Status Button is pressed.

4.NOTE: The unit can be overcharged (which will shorten the life of the battery) — DO NOT charge with AC charging procedure for more than 24 hours maximum.

5.When charging is completed, remove the power cord and store in a safe place.

NOTE: RECHARGE WHEN LESS THAN 4 RED LEDS LIGHT WHEN BATTERY STATUS

The START-IT™system also comes with a DC/DC charging cord, for recharging the unit from the 12-volt DC cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle or boat. Note: This recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging from a 110/120-volt AC outlet. The 12-volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, as continued use of the 12-volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.

WARNING: DO NOT RECHARGE FOR MORE THAN 3-4 HOURS MAXIMUM USING 12-VOLT DC METHOD.

1.NOTE: If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for recharging with engine running while the unit is being charged via the 12-volt DC method.
