allow for the vehicle to be started with the Air
N Arc unit.
IMPORTANT
Any combination of the
I
-300 Power
System output functions (compressor,
generator, welder, hydraulic pump) used
simultaneously
will have an adverse
affect on engine running at full throttle.

Always wear a face shield when
connecting or disconnecting battery
charging cables, and always follow the
connection and disconnection sequence.
Electrical sparks can cause a battery to
explode, resulting in serious injury.

vehicle battery cables must be
disconnected from the battery to be
charged in any vehicle equipped with a
computer, or any equipment with
sensitive electronic components. Failure
