Jumpstarting precautions
Risk of personal injury.
ALWAYS wear approved eye
protection when using this equipment.
Risk of Fire, explosion, or burns.
Electrolyte inside lead acid
batteries contains sulfuric acid which can burn skin and harm
or destroy clothing. Wear eye protection any time you are
jumpstarting a battery and keep baking soda mixed with water
available to neutralize acid. Make sure that long hair is put
up securely, do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry, these
could become caught in moving engine parts or create a short
circuit resulting in personal injury or loss of life.
Fire Hazard.
Never allow the jumpstart’s red and black cable
clamps to touch each other or a common metal conductor.
Such contact could cause damage to the unit and/or create
a sparking/explosion hazard.
Fire Hazard.
Connect red clamp to the positive (+) battery
terminal. The black clamp should be attached to the engine
block or other non-moving metal part of stalled vehicle. Do not
connect black clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal. Doing
so could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/
explosion hazard.
Fire Hazard.
Do not try to jumpstart a battery for more than six
seconds. Allow the unit to cool for three minutes after each six
second jumpstart.
Risk of Fire, explosion, or burns.
The jumpstarting cable
connection has enough energy to cause a spark, create an
explosion hazard, or cause burns if a metal object contacts
both terminals.
