IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• To prevent arcing, never allow the clamps to
touch together or to contact the same piece
of metal.
• Use of an attachment not recommended or
sold by Schumacher
may result in damage to the unit or personal
injury.
• Never operate the Instant Power if it is
damaged.
• If someone else uses the Instant Power,
ensure they are well informed on how to
use it safely, and have read and understood
the operating instructions.
• The Instant 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 Instant Power for jump starting
lead-acid batteries ONLY. Do not use for dry
cell batteries that are commonly used with
home appliances.
• 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, necklaces
and watches. A battery can produce a short
circuit current high enough to weld a ring to
metal, causing a severe burn.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in
the vicinity of the battery or engine.
