1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME
YOU USE THE PORTABLE POWER.

To reduce the risk of 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 a battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on the engine.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not disassemble the portable power.
Take it to a qualied service professional
if service or repair is required. Incorrect

assembly may result in re or electrical

shock.

• Do not use the Portable Power to jump
a vehicle while charging the internal
battery.

• Do not recharge the Portable Power with
a damaged extension cord.

• The Portable Power gets hot during
charging and must have proper
ventilation.

• Do not set the Portable Power on

ammable materials, such as carpeting,

upholstery, paper, cardboard, etc.

• Place the Portable Power as far away
from the battery being jumped as the
cables will permit.

• Do not expose the Portable Power to
rain or snow.

• Never place the Portable Power directly
above battery being jumped.

• To prevent arcing, never allow the
clamps to touch together or to contact
the same piece of metal.

• Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by the jump starter’s
manufacturer may result in damage to
the unit or personal injury.

• Never operate the Portable Power if it is
damaged.

• If someone else uses the portable
power, ensure they are well informed on
how to use it safely, and have read and
understood the operating instructions.

• The Portable Power is NOT designed
to be installed as a replacement for a
vehicle battery.

• Use ONLY on vehicles, boats and
garden tractors powered with a 12V DC
battery system.

• If the engine fails to start after the
recommended number of attempts,
disconnect the unit and look for other
problems that may need to be corrected.

• Use the Portable Power for jump starting
lead-acid batteries only. Do not use for
dry cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances.

2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Wear complete eye protection and
protective clothing when working
near lead-acid batteries. Always have
someone nearby for help.

• 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 medical attention.

• If battery acid comes in contact with eyes,

ush eyes immediately for a minimum 10

minutes and get medical attention.

• 3 •

• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly
with baking soda before attempting to
clean up.

• 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.

• Never smoke or allow a spark or ame
in the vicinity of the battery or engine.

4. CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY OF THE PORTABLE POWER

IMPORTANT! CHARGE IMMEDIATELY
AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH
USE AND EVERY 30 DAYS, TO KEEP
THE PORTABLE POWER’s INTERNAL
BATTERY FULLY CHARGED AND
PROLONG BATTERY LIFE.

CHECKING THE LEVEL OF THE
INTERNAL BATTERY

Press the Battery Status button on the
front of the unit. The LED lights will indicate
the current charge level as follows:

(green) solid –

100%-70% of full charge.

(yellow/orange) solid –

70-30% of full charge.

 (yellow/orange)ashing–

Less than 30% of full charge.

CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY

Charge the internal battery for the
Portable Power using an extension cord
(not included).

NOTE: Use of an improper extension cord

could result in a risk of re and electric shock.

1. To charge, plug an 18 AWG or larger

extension cord into the charger plug
on the side of the Portable Power.

2. Plug the extension cord into a 120VAC

electrical wall outlet.

3. While the Portable Power is charging,

the (yellow/orange) LED will be lit
until the level reaches 70% of charge,
then the (green) LED will be solid
until it is fully charged. When fully
charged, the (green) LED will
pulse. Complete charging may take up
to 72 hours.

4. When the internal battery is fully

charged, the charger will automatically
go into maintain mode and maintain
the battery at full charge without
damaging it. When in maintain mode,
the (green) LED will pulse, as long
as there is an AC cord connected to
the charging port.

5. Charge the jump starter as soon as

possible after use.
