TRANSPORTATION
Use multiple people when-
WARNING
ever it is necessary to lift or
carry the power supply. The power supply
is heavy. Lift with legs, not back.
To reduce the risk of injury, fire, or explosion due
battery damage:
• Remove side mounted chargers before trans-
porting.
• Do not place more than 60 lbs on power supply
when transporting. Do not load higher than 11".
• Do not hang/hoist the power supply for storage
(eg., from a crane hook).
• Only lift the power supply by the roll cage, do
not lift by the handle.
• Do not transport power supply with corded
equipment plugged into the outlets.
• When moving power supply, do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Clear the area of obstructions. This enables
better control in unexpected situations.
• Secure the power supply before transporting
to prevent tipping, rolling, slipping and falling.
Lifting by the Roll Cage
Always maintain firm footing and use multiple people
to lift when not using a lift device. To lift, have at
least two people grasp the roll cage from around
the power supply.
Transporting in a Vehicle
Using suitably rated tie downs, secure the power sup-
ply roll cage to a solid attachment point in the vehicle.
Transporting on a Jobsite
To roll power supply, extend the handle and tilt the
power supply back onto the tires. Push the power
supply on smooth surfaces and pull on uneven sur-
faces.
The power supply may tip unexpect-
NOTICE
edly on highly uneven or sloped
ground.
Transporting up a Step
When the rise distance is no higher than the power
supply's wheel height, the wheels can be used to go
up or down between surfaces.
1. Roll the power supply up to steps, curb, low
vehicle, etc.
2. Grasp the handle evenly with both hands.
3. Slowly roll the power supply up or down.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of shock, inspect
WARNING
the power supply before each use.
Do not use a power supply or corded equipment
that has been damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified products may exhibit unpredictable
behavior.
Power Supply Capacity
Ensure the power supply's rated and peak watts
capacity is greater than the total of the corded equip-
ment. Rated watts is the amount of power the power
supply must produce to keep the equipment running.
Peak watts is the short burst of power needed to start
electric motor-driven tools, such as a circular saw.
1. Find the rated and peak watts for the corded
equipment (from the equipment labels, literature,
or estimated values below).
2. Use the peak watts from the highest rated item,
and the rated watts from the rest of the items.
Because not all motors start at the same time, total
peak watts can be estimated by including only the
item with the highest peak watts.

Highest Peak W (Circular Saw) .......2300 Peak W
Radio ................................................ 50 Rated W
Portable Fan ..................................... 40 Rated W
Electric Drill ..................................... 600 Rated W
