Important Safety Instructions

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.

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 disconnect the jump-start cables from the unit after use and clip the plastic guard over the jump-start cable port.

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: Fire hazard

The jump-start feature is designed for short term operation only— less than 4 seconds. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the XPower Powerpack to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jump- start.
