Kawasaki Rechargeable Jumpstarter 840095 - Manual (Page 5)

CHARGING THE BATTERY
INITIAL CHARGE:
The Jumpstart System does not leave the factory fully charged. Before use, attach
the unit to the 120V AC charger for 48 hours. The green LED charge indicator will
show when the battery has reached full charge. To view the charge level, press the
Charge Status button.
RECHARGE:
The battery can be recharged using either AC or DC current. Cables are provided for
both sources of power. We recommend using the AC charger as charging with DC
power for long periods can damage the unit.
CHARGING:
ALWAYS recharge the jump-starter after use. Leaving the battery in a discharged
state will shorten the life of the battery.
Recharge the battery at least once a month, especially if it has not been in use.
Keeping the jump-starter fully charged will increase the life of the battery.
AC ADAPTER:
To charge this unit from a standard 120v household outlet, just plug the AC charg-
er/adapter into the socket. Use the barrel connector to plug the AC charger/adapter
into the recharge port on the jump-starter. Charge until the status indicator lights
show green.
When first purchased, this unit should be charged for 48 hours to bring the battery
up to full working strength. After each use, recharge the battery for at least 14
hours. Charge once a month, even if the unit has been idle. Charging will help the
battery last longer.

BATTERY
Before using battery pack, please read carefully all instructions and cautionary
markings on battery pack, battery charger and product using battery.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is
completely worn out. The battery pack can explode.
Do not carry battery packs in aprons, pockets, or tool boxes, product kit
boxes, drawers, etc. with loose metal objects. Battery pack terminals could
be short circuited causing damage to the battery pack, severe burns or fire.
This unit contains a maintenance-free, non-spillable, sealed lead-acid bat-
tery, which must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local waste
management authority for disposal locations in your area, or call 1-800-
CLEANUP.
The battery is not fully charged at the factory. Attach jump-starter to the 120V
AC charger for 48 hours before use. Unit will not overcharge when attached to
the AC charger.
Always switch to a fresh battery when tool performance begins to diminish.
Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster
the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can have a shortened life.
Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance
has decreased. Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to
pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool
and recharge the battery for optimal performance.
Charge battery pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F.
Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed
120°F. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or fire.
