General precautions for use:
• 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
CarStart
in an area where children cannot get to
the unit. Always secure clamps on Grip-Lock
®
ears when not in use.
• The charger uses household 110/120 Volt electrical supply, which if misused, may
cause injury or fire.
• Use the
CarStart
to charge/jump start 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.
• Never jump start or attempt to recharge a frozen battery.
WARNING
Read these instructions completely before using the
CarStart
and save them for future
reference. Before using the
CarStart
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. 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
CarStart
each time you jump start using the
CarStart
.
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
CarStart
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.
Always store clamps in their holsters, away from each other or common conductors.
Improper storage of clamps may cause the clamps to come in contact with each other, or
a common conductor, causing the battery to short circuit and generate 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
CarStart
is a sealed unit with no free liquid acid, batteries being
charged with the
Car Start
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
Never turn the
Car Start
ON if the LED light is RED and the unit emits an audible alarm.
Doing so could cause sparking, explosion or other damage to your vehicle's electrical
system and the
Car Start
, as well as personal injury.
Never turn the
Car Start
ON before connecting the
Car Start
to a vehicle/battery.
