Vector Start-It AB121903 - Manual (Page 3)

WARNINGS
JUMPSTART PROCEDURES SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED IN A SAFE,
DRY, WELL VENTILATED AREA OR COMPARTMENT. ANY HATCH OR
ENGINE COMPARTMENT SHOULD BE OPEN AND OR WELL VENTILATED
TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate
assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.
• Always use 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.
• There is a risk of explosive gases being released when lead acid batteries are
being charged or discharged. failure to follow instructions may cause
property damage, explosive hazard and/or personal injury.
• When charging unit from a 120 volt AC electrical outlet in any wet or damp area,
make sure that the outlet used is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupt
(GFCI) switch.
• When charging the unit near water, do not allow the electrical cords and
outlets to get wet or come near water-electrical shock could result!
• Always store battery clamps in built-in holsters when not in use. never touch bat-
tery clamps together-this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing and/or
explosion.
• When using this unit in proximity to the vessel’s or vehicle’s battery and engine,
stand the unit on AC flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all clamps, cords,
clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle components.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jumpstarting a vessel or vehicle-friction can cause
dangerous static electricity sparks. remove all jewelry or metal objects that could
cause short circuits or react with battery acid.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) jumper cable first: followed by the positive
(red) jumper cable.
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal
conductor-this could cause damage to the unit and/or create sparking/explosion
hazard. always store battery clamps in built-in holsters when not in use.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode. before disposing
of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent
shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Do not smoke or use inflammable items (matches, cigarette lighters, etc.) while
workingon a vehicle’s battery system.
• Keep unit out of reach of children (whether stored or in use).
