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 fingers 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 fire, 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 qualified 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 qualified service person.
1.11 Do not disassemble the booster or charger; take it to a qualified service person when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire 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 floor level.
WARNING
Do not use with non-rechargeable batteries. Use only with lead-acid type rechargeable batteries.

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 flame 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.
