2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
2.1. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
2.2. Do not permit the internal battery of the booster to freeze. Never charge a frozen battery.
2.3. When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict the
ventilation in any way.
2.4. Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the booster is being used.
2.5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with
a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a
ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.6. Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or
short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
2.7. To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.
2.8. Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid
battery.
2.9. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing or
eyes.
2.6. Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and protective clothing. Avoid
touching your eyes while working near the battery.
2.7. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If
acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes
and get medical attention right away.
2.8. If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT induce
vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
2.9. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved
2.10. Children shall not play with the appliance.
3. PREPARING TO USE THE BOOSTER
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS
A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
3.1. Clean the battery terminals before using the booster. During cleaning, keep airborne corrosion
from coming into contact with your eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize
the battery acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
3.2. Read, understand and follow all instructions for the booster, battery, vehicle and any equipment
used near the battery and the booster.
3.3. Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure
that the output voltage of the booster is correct.
3.4. Make sure that the booster cable clamps make tight connections.
