• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read the
vehicle's owner's manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.
• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware
of first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or power station
• 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 similar metal object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle when jump-starting a vehicle, friction can cause dangerous static-electrical
sparks.
• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new 500 Amp Jump Starter. Read this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before
using this unit.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge
over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-
discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least every 30 days.
WARNING: Never attempt to use the AC and DC charging methods at the same time.
Notes:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it upon purchase and before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should
be for 24 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
The battery can be recharged using either the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger or the DC Charging Adapter.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
