2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1
Wear complete eye protection and
protective clothing when working
near lead-acid batteries. Always
have someone nearby for help.
2.2
Have plenty of fresh water, soap and
baking soda nearby for use, in case
battery acid contacts your eyes,
skin, or clothing. Wash immediately
with soap and water and seek medi-
cal attention.
2.3
If battery acid comes in contact with
eyes, flush eyes immediately for a
minimum 10 minutes and get medi-
cal attention.
2.4
Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly
with baking soda before attempting
to clean up.
2.5
Remove all personal metal items from
your body, such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches. A battery
can produce a short circuit current
high enough to weld a ring to metal,
causing a severe burn.
2.6
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame
in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
3. CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY OF THE JUMP STARTER
IMPORTANT: CHARGE IMMEDIATELY
AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH USE
AND EVERY 30 DAYS, TO KEEP THE
JUMP STARTER’S INTERNAL BATTERY
FULLY CHARGED AND PROLONG BAT-
TERY LIFE.
CHECKING THE LEVEL OF THE
INTERNAL BATTERY
Press the Battery Status button on the
front of the unit. The LED lights will indi-
cate the current charge level as follows:
• RED – less than 20% of full charge;
immediately charge the unit.
• YELLOW/ORANGE – 20-80% of full
charge.
• GREEN – more than 80% of full charge.
CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
Charge the unit’s internal battery using an
extension cord (not included).
NOTE: Use of an improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric
shock.
1.
To charge, flip the AC connector on
the back of the unit DOWN and plug
in an 18 AWG or larger extension cord.
2.
Plug the extension cord into a 120VAC
electrical wall outlet.
3.
While the jump starter is charging,
the RED LED will be on. Complete
charging may take up to 72 hours.
When the RED LED turns off, the jump
starter is ready to use.
4.
When the internal battery is fully
charged, the charger will automatically
go into maintain mode and main-
tain the battery at full charge without
damaging it. When in maintain mode,
the GREEN LED will light, as long as
there is an AC cord connected to the
charging port.
5.
Charge the jump starter as soon as
possible after use.
CHARGING THE INTERNAL
BATTERY WHILE DRIVING
You may also charge the internal battery
while driving, using a male-to-male char-
ger cable (part number 94500109 – not
included).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHARGE INTERNAL
BATTERY FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES
OR LEAVE THE BATTERY UNATTENDED.
IT COULD EXPLODE, CAUSING PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
1.
Make sure the car is running.
2.
Insert one end of the accessory cable
into the 12V DC power outlet.
3.
Insert the other end of the accessory
cable into the vehicle’s accessory out-
let (lighter socket).
