1. Read these instructions completely before using the product and save
them for future reference.
2. WARNING: POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD — WORKING AROUND LEAD-ACID
BATTERIES MAY BE DANGEROUS. LEAD ACID BATTERIES RELEASE
EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION, CHARGING, AND
JUMP-STARTING. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SAFE USE. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS
MANUAL AND ON THE JUMP-N-CARRY®EACH TIME YOU JUMP-START USING
THE JUMP-N-CARRY®.
3. Before using the Jump-N-Carry
®
to jump-start a car, truck, boat or to power
any equipment, read these instructions and the instruction manual/safety information
provided by the car, truck, boat or equipment manufacturer. Following all manufacturers’
instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
4. General precautions for use:
• Always wear eye protection and appropriate protective clothing when working near
lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around lead-acid batteries.
• Never work alone with electrical equipment. Make sure that someone is around to
give assistance if you need help.
• Always store, use, and charge the Jump-N-Carry®in an area where children
cannot get to the unit.
• The clamps of the Jump-N-Carry®portable jump-start system may cause
sparks if touched together. Always keep the clamps secured around Clamp Lock
arms to prevent sparking.
• The charger uses household 115 volt electrical supply, which if misused, may cause
injury or fire.
• All lead-acid batteries (car, truck, and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette lighter while near batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl
clothing because static electricity sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is
rubbed.
• Use the Jump-N-Carry
®
to charge/jump-start lead-acid batteries only. Do not use the
unit to recharge dry cell batteries.
•Remove jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when
working around a battery. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current,
which can melt metals and result in a severe burn.
• Do not drop tools or other metal objects on or near the battery as a spark may result,
igniting explosive gases.
• Do not jump-start or attempt to recharge a frozen battery.
WARNING: While the battery in the Jump-N-Carry®is a sealed unit with no free liquid acid,
batteries being jump-started with the Jump-N-Carry®unit likely contain liquid acids which
are hazardous if spilled.
