This unit has a sealed lithium-based battery that should be kept at full charge.
Recharge when first received, immediately after each use, and every three months
if not used. Failure to perform maintenance charges may cause the battery life to be
reduced.
WARNING
Read these instructions completely before using the
POWERLIGHT RESCUE
and save them
for future reference. Before using the
POWERLIGHT RESCUE
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.
Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Vehicle 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
POWERLIGHT RESCUE
each time you jump start using the
POWERLIGHT
RESCUE.
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. Review all
cautionary material on the
POWERLIGHT RESCUE
and in the engine compartment.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment when
working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around lead-acid
batteries.
When not using the unit to jump start, remove and properly store output cables. Leaving
clamps connected and improperly storing the unit may cause the clamps to come into
contact with each other or a common conductor, causing the battery to short and generating
high enough heat to ignite most materials.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts may
cause severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's Owner's
Manual.
While the battery in the
POWERLIGHT RESCUE
is a sealed unit with no free liquid acid,
batteries being jump started with the
POWERLIGHT RESCUE
unit likely contain liquid acids
which are hazardous if spilled.
Failure to follow instructions may
cause damage or explosion,
always shield eyes.
Read entire
instruction manual before use.
WARNING
WARNING: The
POWERLIGHT RESCUE
should only be used as a
jump starter with the supplied Safety Cable.
NEVER
use an alternate
cable when jump starting with the
POWERLIGHT RESCUE
