Safety Information
Read these instructions completely before using the product and save them for future use.
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.
WARNING
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®.
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.
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 the Grip Lock™ ears to
prevent sparking.
•
The charger uses household 115 volt electrical supply, which if misused, may cause
injury or fire.
•
Use the Jump-N-Carry® to recharge 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
charged with the Jump-N-Carry
®
unit likely contain liquid acids which are hazardous if spilled.
