Jump-Starting a Vehicle's Engine
To
operate
a 12 V
DC
appliance:
1.
Open the protective cover on the DC power outlet
of
the
Duracell® Powerpack.
2.
Plug the
12
V DC appliance into the DC power outlet on
the left side
of
the unit, and tum the
12
V DC appliance
on
(if
required).
If
the
12
V DC appliance draws more than
12
A (or has a
short-circuit defect), the internal circuit breaker
of
the
Duracell® Powerpack shuts
off
the power to the
12
V
DC appliance.
If
this occurs, unplug the
12
V DC
appliance. The internal circuit breaker automatically
resets after a few seconds.
3.
Fully recharge the Duracell® Powerpack as soon as
possible after each use.
As the DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the
Duracell® Powerpack's battery, extended operation
of
a
12
V DC appliance may result in excessive battery
discharge. See Caution for Equipment damage on
page
18.
Jump-Starting
a
Vehicle's
Engine
You
can use the Duracell® Powerpack to jump-start a vehicle
or boat engine (all 4 cylinder and most 6 cylinder engines)
that has a
12
V starting battery.
Lh.
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 switch OFF the Jump-Start power switch and store the
jump-start clamps in the appropriate holder on each side
of
the
Duracell® Powerpack after use.
