FEATURES
A lead-acid battery can generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.
To reduce risk of explosion, follow these instructions, those of the battery manufacturer and of any
equipment being used in vicinity of battery
Use the jump start in a well ventilated area. DO NOT operate in the vicinity of ammablessuch as petrol etc.
DO NOT allow sparks or ame near the battery
Short circuiting the contacts can generate a spark, creating a potentially explosive situation - take care
with tools and components
Never smoke while working with a lead-acid battery
