1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.

1.1 Read the entire manual before using this product. Failure to do so could result

in serious injury or death.

1.2 Keep out of reach of children.

1.3 This booster is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the booster by a person responsible for their safety.

1.4 Do not put ngers or hands into the product.

1.5 Do not expose the booster to rain or snow.

1.6 Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer

may result in a risk of re, electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.

1.7 To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the booster.

1.8 To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the booster charger from the outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.

1.9 Do not operate the booster or charger with a damaged output cable; have the damaged part replaced

immediately by a qualied service person.

1.10 Do not operate the booster if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way;

take it to a qualied service person.

1.11 Do not disassemble the booster or charger; take it to a qualied service person when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of re or electric shock.

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. PREVENT FLAMES AND SPARKS.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION DURING CHARGING.

1.12 WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES

GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE BOOSTER.

1.13 The booster and lead-acid battery of the vehicle must be placed in a well-ventilated area.

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

1.15 This booster employs parts, such as switches and circuit breakers, that tend to produce arcs and sparks. If used

in a garage, locate this booster 46 cm or move above oor level.

WARNING

Do not use with non-rechargeable batteries. Use only with lead-acid type rechargeable batteries.

2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:

2.1 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of a

battery or engine.

2.2 Do not permit the internal battery of the booster to freeze. Never charge a frozen battery.

2.3 When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict the ventilation in any way.

2.4 Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the booster is being used.

2.5 Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid

battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing a severe burn.

2.6 Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the

battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.

2.7 To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.

2.8 Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

2.9 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing or eyes.

2.10 Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and protective clothing. Avoid touching your

eyes while working near the battery.

2.11 If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If acid enters

your eye, immediately ood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention

right away.

2.12 If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT induce vomiting.

Seek medical attention immediately.

2.13 This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

2.14 Children shall not play with the appliance.

3. PREPARING TO USE THE BOOSTER

RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.
BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.

3.1 Clean the battery terminals before using the booster. During

cleaning, keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact with your
eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize the

battery acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

3.2 Read, understand and follow all instructions for the booster, battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the
battery and the booster.

3.3 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure that the output
voltage of the booster is correct.

3.4 Make sure that the booster cable clamps make tight connections.

4. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTING THE BOOSTER TO A BATTERY

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:

4.1 Attach the output cables to the battery and chassis, as indicated below. Never allow the output

clamps to touch each other.

4.2 Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot
engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the jump starting process, ensure that the hood
does not touch the metal part of the battery clamps or cut the insulation of the cables.

4.3 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.

4.4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to

the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 4.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 4.6.

4.5 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the booster to the POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis or

engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.

4.6 For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from the booster to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or

engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.

4.7 When disconnecting the booster, remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, then remove the clamp from the

battery terminal, in that order.
