Charge Internal Battery

•Take care not to drop any metal tool or metal object onto the battery. This may spark or short circuit the battery or another electrical device that may cause an explosion.

•Always operate the Portable Power in an open, well-ventilated area.

•Never smoke, use matches or cigarette lighter or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases.

•Never operate the Portable Power if it has damaged lead wire or clamps. If damaged, have the lead wire replaced by a qualified technician.

•Do not permit internal battery to freeze. Never charge a frozen bat- tery.

•Keep hands, hair, clothing and jew- elry clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that may cause injury.

BEFORE USING THE PORTABLE POWER PP-18400CI

After removing the PP-18400CI from the carton, charge it 48 – 72 hours before using even if the green CHARGING STA- TUS LED glows.

1.Make sure the PP-18400CI is OFF. The ON / OFF switch is located on the right side.

2.To charge, plug wall charger adaptor into the CHARGING ADAPTOR port on the right side, located under the ON / OFF switch.

3.Plug the wall charger plug into a 110 volt AC electrical wall outlet.

The green CHARGING STATUS LED located on the front panel will blink indicating there is power to PP-18400CI.

4.When the internal battery has reached full charge, the CHARGING STATUS LED will glow green. This could take up to 48 to 72 hours on some charges due to age and condition of the battery. The PP-18400CI will automatically drop into a float mode and maintain the internal battery at full charge without damaging bat- tery.
