IF SPLASHED WITH BATTERY ACID: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH AFFECTED AREA SUCH AS FACE AND PARTICULARLY THE EYES WITH
CLEAN WATER. CONTINUE FLUSHING FACE AND EYES UNTIL MEDICAL HELP ARRIVES.
• LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE HYDROGEN GAS DURING NORMAL OPERATION. MORE GAS IS GENERATED WHEN THE BATTERY IS
CHARGING. HYDROGEN GAS IS:
1. EXPLOSIVE
2. POISONOUS TO BREATHE
3. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
• TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE THAT MAY SHORTEN THE UNITS WORKING LIFE, PROTECT THIS UNIT FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT,
DIRECT HEAT, AND /OR MOISTURE.
• THIS SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO BE USED ONLY ON VEHICLES OR BOATS WITH 12-VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.
• THIS SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A VEHICLE BATTERY.
TO AVOID AN EXPLOSION AND/OR THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING SPLASHED WITH BATTERY ACID:
• NEVER ALLOW THE RED AND BLACK CLAMPS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER OR FOR BOTH TO TOUCH THE SAME METAL OBJECT OR ANY
ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL FOR THAT MATTER.
• ONLY ATTEMPT TO JUMP START A VEHICLE OR BOAT IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
• ALWAYS CONNECT THE RED (+) CLAMP TO THE POSITIVE (+) BATTERY TERMINAL FIRST.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR NEW POWER PACK UNIT
RECHARGING
1. FOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOUR POWER PACK UNIT BE KEPT FULLY CHARGED AT ALL TIMES. IF THE
BATTERY IS ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN A DISCHARGED STATE, BATTERY LIFE WILL BE SHORTENED.
TABLE I SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE FREQUENCY OF USE BETWEEN RECHARGING AND THE EXPECTED NUMBER OF
CHARGE/RECHARGE CYCLES.

2. THE TIME REQUIRED TO FULLY RECHARGE YOUR POWER BOOSTER AFTER JUMP-STARTING AN ENGINE IS A FUNCTION OF HOW
MANY JUMP-STARTS ARE PERFORMED BETWEEN RECHARGING SESSIONS. TABLE II SHOWS THE APPROXIMATE RECHARGING TIMES
YOU CAN EXPECT.
