Important Safety Instructions

The XPower Powerpack 600HD generates a type of AC power similar to a normal household wall outlet. Operating the XPower Powerpack incorrectly or misusing it may damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions for the user.

Important: Before using your XPower Powerpack, be sure to read and save these safety instructions.

Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Keep away from children.

The XPower Powerpack generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet. Do not insert foreign objects into the AC Outlet, the DC Power Socket, the Jump-Start Cable Port, or the ventilation holes. Do not expose this product to water, rain, snow, or spray.

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 XPower Powerpack, 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. During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.
