Precautions When Working With Batteries

1. Follow all instructions published by the battery

manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in
which the battery is installed.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.
3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the

engine or batteries.

WARNING: Risk of explosion, fire or burns

The battery terminals exposed at the Jump-Start Cable Port have
enough energy present to cause a spark, creating an explosion
hazard, or to cause burns if a metal object contacts both terminals.
Always clip the plastic guard over the Port when not in use.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Do not leave the compressor unattended while operating. The
compressor is designed for short term operation only. Operation of
the compressor over an extended period of time will cause the
compressor unit to overheat and may cause damage. Allow the
compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of
continuous operation.

CAUTION

Do not connect any AC appliance with the neutral conductor
connected to ground to the XPower Powerpack.

CAUTION

Do not expose the XPower Powerpack to temperatures over 104 °F
(40 °C).

WARNING: Explosion and fire hazard
