IMPORTANT: Only use the charger that was included with the jump starter to charge the internal battery
of the jump starter. Using a different charger could result in personal injury or property damage.
WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120V circuit. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the
receptacle (outlet). Do not use with an ungrounded system.
DANGER. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. An improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of the plug
on the charger.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• The wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger, as specified:
