3. Keep the jump starter dry.
4. DO NOT allow the jump starter to come into contact with rain or moisture.
5. DO NOT operate the jump starter if you, the jump starter, the device being operated or
any other surfaces that may come in contact with any power source are wet. Water and
many other liquids can conduct electricity, which may lead to serious injury or death.
6. Do not place the jump starter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat.
7. Do not place the jump starter in direct sunlight. The ideal air temperature for operation
is between 50° and 80°F.
8. Do not use the inverter near an open engine compartment where fumes or gases
may accumulate.
9. Do not modify the AC receptacles in any way.
8.10 Using the Inverter
It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter.
The jump starter must be used with devices drawing 400 watts or less. If the wattage is not
marked on the device, use only devices that draw less than 4 Amps of AC current.
Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors require additional power to start (commonly
known as the “starting” or “peak power”). The jump starter can supply a momentary
surge in wattage; however, even devices rated less than the maximum 400 watts can
exceed the inverter’s surge capability and cause an automatic overload shutdown.
Do not use the inverter with a product that draws a higher wattage than the inverter can
provide, as this may cause damage to the inverter and the product.
Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter.
