Important Safety Instructions
Important: Before using your Duracell® Powerpack Pro, be
sure to read and save these safety instructions.
Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Keep away from
children.
Do not insert foreign objects into the DC Power Socket,
the Jump-Start Cable Port, or the ventilation holes. Do
not expose this product to water, rain, snow, or spray.
Do not open the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro. There are no
user serviceable parts inside the unit.
CAUTION
The unit will be damaged if connected to any AC load
that has its neutral conductor connected to ground. Such
loads include AC distribution wiring and house wiring.
CAUTION
Do not expose the Duracell® Powerpack Pro to
temperatures over 40°C (104°F).
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Do not use this product where there are fl ammable fumes
or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline-powered
boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use this product
in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead-acid
batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed AGM battery
in the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro, vent explosive hydrogen
gas which can be ignited by sparks from electrical
connections. When working on electrical equipment,
always ensure someone is nearby to help you in an
emergency.
iv
WARNING: Heated surface
Ensure at least 2” (5 cm) air space is maintained on all
sides of the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro. During operation,
keep away from materials that may be affected by high
temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Jump-start cable clamps must be connected positive
to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to
negative (black clamp to battery “–”). A reverse polarity
connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to
the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
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 store the clamps
in the appropriate holder on each side ofthe Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro after use.
WARNING: Medical equipment
This product is NOT tested, designed nor intended to
be used with life support systems or any other medical
devices.
WARNING: Fire hazard
The jump-start feature is designed for short term
operation only—less than 4 seconds. Operating the
jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may cause
damage to the unit. Allow the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro to
cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jumpstart.
WARNING: Proper application
Do not use the appliance for any application except that
for which it is intended.
.
v
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation
When using tools or equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal
injury. Improper operation, maintenance or modifi cation
of equipment could result in serious injury and property
damage. We strongly recommend that this product NOT
be modifi ed and/or used for any application other than for
which it was designed. Read and understand all warnings
and operating instructions before using any equipment.
vi
Precautions when working with
batteries
WARNING: Explosion, fi re or burns
Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
1. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
2. Never smoke or allow a spark or fl ame near the engine or
batteries.
3. Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a
metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative
cable ends or battery terminals. It might spark or short-circuit
the battery or other electrical parts and cause an explosion.
4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery.
A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high
enough to weld a ring or other similar objects to metal, causing
a severe burn.
5. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the positive
terminal from the battery fi rst. Make sure all accessories are off
so you don’t cause an arc.
6. Someone should be within range of your voice, or close
enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid
battery.
7. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery
acid contacts skin, clothing, and eyes.
8. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid
touching your eyes while working near batteries.
9. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water . If acid enters your eyes, immediately fl ood
them with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
10. Keep a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the
batteries. Baking soda neutralizes lead-acid battery electrolyte.
