WARNING
WARNING
Read these instructions completely before using the Truck PAC and save them for future
reference. Before using the Truck PAC to jump start a car, truck, boat or to power any
equipment, read these instructions and the instruction manual/safety information
provided by the car, truck, boat or equipment manufacturer. Following all manufacturers’
instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release
explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read and
follow these instructions for safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in this
manual and on the Truck PAC each time you jump start using the Truck PAC.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently
explode in the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette
lighter while near batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing
because static electricity sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all
cautionary material on the Truck PAC and in the engine compartment.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment
when working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around
lead-acid batteries.
Always store clamps in their holsters, away from each other or common conductors.
Improper storage of clamps may cause the clamps to come in contact with each other,
or a common conductor, causing the battery to short circuit and generate high enough
heat to ignite most materials.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts
may cause severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's
Owner's Manual.
While the battery in the Truck PAC is a sealed unit with no free liquid acid, batteries
being jump started with the Truck PAC unit likely contain liquid acids which are
hazardous if spilled.
Failure to follow instructions may
cause damage or explosion,
always shield eyes. Read entire
instruction manual before use.
WARNING
Never hook up a 12 Volt DC power source to a 24 Volt DC vehicle. This will grossly
overcharge the 12 Volt power source and generate flammable gasses that may explode
and cause property damage and/or bodily harm.
Warning: This product can expose you to lead, which is known to the State of California to
cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and Vinyl-Chloride, Styrene and Acrylonitrile,
which are known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to
