Safety Warnings and Precautions

General Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

Working in vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that you follow the instructions each time you use the Power Pack. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.

Work Area Safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate Power Pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The Power Pack can create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating the Power Pack. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
4. Store idle equipment. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

Electrical Safety

1. Do not drop a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
2. Do not operate if Power Pack has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified technician.
3. Do not leave Power Pack unattended while switched on. It could result in fire and property damage.
4. Do not expose to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the Power Pack will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not use an extension cord with this item.
6. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
7. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting the Adapter.
8. Do not operate with damaged cord or plug. Replace the cord or plug immediately.

Personal Safety

1. Wear ANSI-approved splashresistant safety goggles and heavyduty rubber work gloves whenever connecting, disconnecting, or working near battery. Battery acid can cause permanent blindness. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
2. Do not use Power Pack while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating Power Pack may result in serious personal injury.
3. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
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.
6. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

Service
Have your Power Pack serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the Power Pack is maintained.

8. Do not attempt to jump start a vehicle with a non-rechargeable or defective battery.
9. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions for jump starting.
10. DO NOT TOUCH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY CLAMPS TOGETHER.
11. Unplug the Power Pack from its Adapter before connecting its cables to a battery.
12. Connect and disconnect battery cable clamps only after setting any Jump Starter switches to OFF position.
13. Connect cables to proper polarities. Connect black cable to negative body ground and red cable to positive battery terminal.
14. Locate Power Pack as far away from battery as battery cables permit.
15. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Power Pack. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
16. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

DC Appliance Compatibility

The Power Pack can run/charge 12VDC auto, RV, marine, or other portable appliances that draw 10 amps or less. The lower the amount of watts the appliance draws, the longer the Power Pack can power it before needing to be recharged. Calculate the total wattage needed to run the appliance before operation. You do not need to calculate startup or surge wattages. To calculate the size of the load you plan to use with the Power Pack, use the following formula:
Amps x Volts = Watts
For example, if you use an appliance whose running amps total 7 amps, you will need 84 watts of power (7 amps x 12V = 84 Watts) to run the items. This figure is within the capacity of the unit (10 amps x 12V = 120 Watts).

Note : Use this chart as a guideline only. The actual power usage may vary based on the model or brand of the appliance. Check the actual wattage of your appliances and calculate the amount of power needed to run/charge them.
