SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS

WARNING STATEMENTS IDENTIFY CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT MAY

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE

1. When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is 

available in case of accident or emergency.

2. Protective eyewear must be worn when using this product; contact with battery acid may

cause blindness and/or severe burns; be aware of first aid procedures in case of 
accidental contact with battery acid.

3. There is a risk of explosive gases being released when lead acid batteries are being

charged or discharged. Failure to follow instructions may cause property damage, 
explosive hazard, and/or personal injury.

4. Make sure the Safety Switch is Off before connecting battery clamps to discharged 

battery. This will enable the polarity alarm to function.

5. When connecting the battery clamps to a discharged battery, and an alarm sounds, 

do NOT turn on the Safety Switch - the polarity is reversed. Interchange battery clamps
before turning the Safety Switch ON.

6. When charging unit from a 110/120 volt AC electrical outlet in any wet or damp area,

make sure that the outlet used is protected by a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) Switch.

7. When charging the unit near water, do not allow the electrical cords and outlets to get

wet or come near water; electrical shock could result!

8. Jumpstart procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.
9. Always store battery clamps in built-in holsters when not in use. Never touch battery

clamps together; this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.

10. When using this unit in proximity to the vehicle’s battery and engine, stand the unit on

a flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all clamps, cords, clothing and body parts
away from moving vehicle components.

11. Do not wear vinyl clothing when jumpstarting a vehicle; friction can cause dangerous 

static electricity sparks. Remove all jewelry or metal objects that could cause short 
circuits or react with battery acid.

12. Always disconnect the negative (Black) jumper cable first; followed by the positive 

(Red) jumper cable.

13. Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal 

conductor; this could cause damage to the unit and/or create sparking/explosion 
hazard. Always store battery clamps in built-in holsters when not in use.

14. Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode. Before disposing of 

the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent 
shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).

15. Do not smoke or use inflammable items (matches, cigarette lighters, etc.) while 

working on a vehicle’s battery system.

16. Keep unit out of reach of children (whether stored, or in use).

FIRST AID:
1. SKIN:

If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then
wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, 
seek immediate medical attention.

2. EYES:

If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for a minimum 
of 15 minutes; seek immediate medical attention.
