1.4Do not put fingers or hands into any of the jump starter’s outlets.

1.5Do not expose the jump starter to rain or snow.

1.6To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn off and/or unplug the jump starter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.

1.7Do not operate the jump starter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-732-7764.)

1.8Do not disassemble the jump starter; take it to a qualified service person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock. (Call customer service at: 1-800-732-7764.)

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

1.9WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE jump starter.

1.10To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review the cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.

2.PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. A SPARK

NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A

BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:

2.1 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 utmost importance that you follow the instructions each time you use the jump starter.

2.2NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.

2.3Do not permit the internal battery of the jump starter to freeze. Never charge a frozen battery.

2.4To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clips to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.

2.5When charging the internal battery of the jump starter, work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict the ventilation in any way.

2.6Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.

2.7Remove 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 the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

2.8Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the jump starter is being used.

RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID

IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.

2.9Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

2.10Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing or eyes.

2.11Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.

2.12If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.

2.13If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.

2.14Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that may cause injury.
