WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
•
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug
.
•
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way
.
•
Do not disassemble charger;
return it to the manufacturer when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
•

When appliance is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
•
Extension cords.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended
When an extension cord is used,
make sure that:
• a) the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger,
• b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
• c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Pull cord by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
the extension cord from the unit or the outlet.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPRESSORS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Never leave the compressor unattended while in use.
WARNING: BURST HAZARD:
• Carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
• Never exceed the recommended pressure listed in instructions on articles to be inflated. If no pressure is given, contact article
manufacturer before inflating.
• Monitor the pressure at all times on the pressure gage.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Do not operate compressor continuously for longer than approximately 10 minutes, depending on ambient temperatures, as it may
overheat. In such event, compressor may automatically shut down. Turn off the Compressor Power Switch immediately and restart
after a cooling down period of approximately 30 minutes.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMP STARTERS
WARNING: BURST HAZARD
Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and
