975-0213-01-01 23
To connect the XPower Powerpack to an external battery
using the jump-start cables:
1. Connect the cables to the jump-start cable port on the left
side of the XPower Powerpack.
2. Connect the red positive (+) clip of the cables to the red
positive (+) terminal of the external battery.
3. Connect the black negative (–) clip of the cables to the
black negative (–) terminal of the external battery.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Jump-start cable clamps must be connected positive to positive (red
clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to
battery “–”). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative)
may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion
hazard.
WARNING: Acid spills
Use a sealed, non-spillable battery for indoor use. Common auto
and marine batteries are not suitable for indoor use unless their
fumes are vented outdoors. Common auto and marine batteries
contain acid, which is hazardous if spilled. Wear eye protection and
protective clothing when connecting the XPower Powerpack to an
external battery.
WARNING: Sparking and explosion
Do not remove the cables from the jump-start cable port when the
positive and negative clamps are connected to the terminals of the
external battery.
