To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those1.1 marked on the battery.
Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended1.2
orsoldbySchumacher®ElectricCorporationmayresultinariskofre,
electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the1.3 Instant Power™ from the outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls
will not reduce this risk.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches1.4 when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe
burn.
Studyallofthebatterymanufacturer’sspecicprecautionssuchasremoving1.5 or not removing the cell caps while jump starting the battery.
Never place the1.6 Instant Power™ directly above the battery being jumped;
gasesoruidsfromthebatterywillcorrodeanddamagetheInstant Power™.
Locate the Instant Power™ as far away from the battery as the DC cables
permit.
Do not operate the1.7 Instant Power™ with a damaged cord or plug; take it to a
qualiedserviceperson.(Callcustomerserviceat:1-800-621-5485.)
Do not operate the1.8 Instant Power™ if it has received a sharp blow, been
droppedorotherwisedamagedinanyway;takeittoaqualiedservice
person.(Callcustomerserviceat:1-800-621-5485.)
Do not disassemble the1.9 Instant Power™;takeittoaqualiedserviceperson

Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work2.6 near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your2.7 skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and2.8 protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with2.9
soapandwater.Ifacidentersyoureye,immediatelyoodtheeyewithcold
running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water.2.10 DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that may cause injury.2.11
Clean the battery terminals before using the jump starter. During cleaning,2.12 keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes, nose and
mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize the battery acid and help
eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual2.13 and make sure that the output voltage of the jump starter is correct.

It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use
with the inverter. The Instant Power™ must be used with devices drawing 400
watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, use only devices that
draw less than 3.4 Amps of AC current.
Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors require additional power to start
(commonlyknownasthe“startingorpeakpower”).TheInstantPower™can
supply a momentary surge in wattage; however even devices rated less than
the maximum 400 watts can exceed the inverters surge capability and cause
an automatic overload shutdown.
Do not use the inverter with a product that draws a higher wattage than
the inverter can provide, as this may cause damage to the inverter and the
product.
Makesurethedeviceyouareusingiscompatiblewithamodiedsinewave
inverter.
Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will
operate a particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut
down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices
and equipment with the 400-watt range.
If powering more than one device, start one device at a time to avoid a power
surge and/or inverter overload. The surge load of each device should not
exceed the inverter’s Continuous Operation wattage rate.
If you are using the power inverter to operate a battery charger, monitor the
temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger
becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.

You can use an extension cord from the inverter to the device without
signicantlydecreasingthepowerbeinggeneratedbytheinverter.Forbest
operating results, the extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet.
This inverter uses a nonsinusoidal waveform. Therefore, we
donotrecommendyouuseittopowerthefollowingdevices:
Switch Mode Power Supplies;1.
Linear Power Supplies;2.
Class 2 Transformers;3.
Line Filter Capacitors;4.
Shaded Pole Motors;5.
