Important Safety Information

WARNING: Explosion hazard
Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases,
such as in the bilge of a gasoline-powered boat, or near propane
tanks. Do not use this product in an enclosure containing
automotive-type lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the
sealed AGM battery in the XPower Powerpack 200 Plus, vent
explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks from
electrical connections.
When working on electrical equipment, always ensure someone is
nearby to help you in an emergency.
WARNING: Heated surface
Ensure at least 2" (5 cm) air space is maintained on all sides of the
XPower Powerpack 200 Plus. During operation, keep away from
materials that may be affected by high temperatures such as
blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Never allow boosting cables’ red and black clamps to touch each
other or another common metal conductor. This could cause
damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
Always store boosting clamps in the appropriate holder on each
side of the XPower Powerpack after use.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Boosting cable clamps must be connected positive to positive (red
clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to
battery “-”). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative)
may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion
hazard.
