1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME
YOU USE THE PORTABLE POWER.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by
the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of a battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on the engine.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not disassemble the portable power.
Take it to a qualified service professional
if service or repair is required. Incorrect
assembly may result in fire or electrical
shock.
• Do not use the portable power to jump
a vehicle while charging the internal
battery.
• Do not recharge the portable power with
a damaged extension cord.
• The portable power gets hot during
charging and must have proper
ventilation.
• Do not set the portable power on
flammable materials, such as carpeting,
upholstery, paper, cardboard, etc.
• Place the portable power as far away
from the battery being jumped as the
cables will permit.
• Do not expose the portable power to
rain or snow.
• Never place the portable power directly
above battery being jumped.

clamps to touch together or to contact
the same piece of metal.

This jump starter/converter may not
be used with life support devices or

protective clothing when working
near lead-acid batteries. Always have
someone nearby for help.

baking soda nearby for use, in case
battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or

and water and seek medical attention.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
• Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by Schumacher
Corporation may result in damage to the
unit or personal injury.
• Never operate the portable power if it is
damaged.
• If someone else uses the portable
power, ensure they are well informed on
how to use it safely, and have read and
understood the operating instructions.
• The portable power is NOT designed
to be installed as a replacement for a
vehicle battery.
• Use ONLY on vehicles, boats and
garden tractors powered with a 12V DC
battery system.
• If the engine fails to start after the
recommended number of attempts,
disconnect the unit and look for other
problems that may need to be corrected.
• Use the portable power for jump starting
lead-acid batteries only. Do not use for
dry cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances.
• If battery acid comes in contact with eyes,
flush eyes immediately for a minimum 10
minutes and get medical attention.
• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with
baking soda before attempting to clean up.
• Remove all personal metal items from
your body, such as rings, bracelets,
