6. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
6.1
After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the jump starter.
6.2
Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the battery clips, cords and the
jump starter case.
6.3
Ensure that all of the jump starter components are in place and in good working condition.
6.4
All servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
7. MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
7.1
Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
7.2
Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped to cables. The clips
on the jump starter are live when the switch is in the ON position and will produce arcing or sparking if
they come in contact with each other. To prevent accidental arcing, always place the switch in the OFF
position and keep the clips on the storage holders when not using it to jump start a vehicle.
7.3
If the jump starter is moved around the shop or transported to another location, take care to avoid/
prevent damage to the cords, clips and jump starter. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
property damage.
IMPORTANT: Do not use and/or store the jump starter in or on any area or surface where damage
could occur if the internal battery should unexpectedly leak acid.
7.4
IMPORTANT:
• CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE
• KEEP FULLY CHARGED
Charge the jump starter’s internal battery immediately after purchase, after every use and every 30 days.
All batteries are affected by temperature. The ideal storage temperature is at 70°F. The internal battery will
gradually self-discharge (lose power) over time, especially in warm environments. Leaving the battery in a
discharged state may result in permanent battery damage. To ensure satisfactory performance and avoid
permanent damage, charge the internal battery every month.
