2. USE AS A JUMP-START SYSTEM
WARNING:
1) Before using this system to jump-start any vehicle or boat, read and understand
all instructions, safety tips, warnings, cautions and first aid information provided
in this manual and on the product labeling. Additional important information
may also be provided by the vehicle’s battery system manufacturer.
2) Be aware of first aid procedures before attempting jump-start procedure.
3) Always wear protective eyewear when working with a lead acid battery.
4) Do not smoke or use inflammable items (matches, cigarette lighters, etc.) while
working on a vehicle’s battery system.
5) When using this jump-starter in proximity to the vehicle’s battery and engine,
stand the unit on a flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all cords and cables
away from any moving parts.
6) Check unit periodically for wear and tear. Replace worn or defective parts imme-
diately; contact Vector customer service department toll-free: (866) 584-5504 or
through our Internet address: www.vectormfg.com.
7) Do not attempt to jump-start a frozen battery.
8) NEVER submerge this unit in water.
9) Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle; friction can cause
dangerous static electricity sparks. Remove all jewelry or metal objects - they can
cause short circuits or react with battery acid to cause severe burns. Remove or
secure any loose clothing, and restrain long hair, before attempting jump-start
procedure.
10) Lead-acid batteries generate hydrogen gas during normal operation. More
gas is generated when the battery is charging. Hydrogen gas is explosive,
poisonous to breathe, and highly flammable.
Recommendations for optimum performance of the jump-start system:
CAUTION:
1) To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect
this unit from direct sunlight, direct heat, and moisture.
2) This system is to be used ONLY on vehicles, boats, garden tractors, and gasoline
powered generators with 12 volt DC battery systems.
3) This system is NOT designed to be installed as a replacement for a vehicle battery.
4) Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle
battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting this type of vehicle, read the vehicle
owner’s manual to confirm that external starting assistance is advised.
5) Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle’s starter motor. If the engine
fails to start after the recommended number of attempts, discontinue jump-start
procedure and look for other problems that may need to be corrected.
6) This Jump-starter is equipped with an internal, automatic safety switch. This
switch only activates when connections are correctly made positive (+) to posi-
tive (+) and negative (-) to negative (-). An incorrect connection will sound an
audible alarm, indicating an incorrect connection. Should this alarm sound,
remove the clamps and reconnect, ensuring proper polarity. Once the connections
are properly made, the internal switch turns on and you are ready to jump-start
the vehicle. This automatic internal safety switch is fully automatic and requires no
action by the user.
