IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS1.

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
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
reorelectricshock.(Callcustomerserviceat:1-800-621-5485.)

Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate2.1 explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of
utmost importance that you follow the instructions each time you use the
Instant Power™.
NEVERsmokeorallowasparkorameinthevicinityofabatteryorengine.2.2
Do not permit the internal battery of the Instant Power™ to freeze. Never2.3 charge a frozen battery.
To prevent sparking, connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after2.4
setting the Instant Power™ switch to the OFF position. NEVER allow clips to
touch together or contact the same piece of metal.

•3 •
Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the jump starter is2.5 being used. Do not operate the Instant Power™ in a closed-in area or restrict
the ventilation in any way.

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.
Make sure that the Instant Power™ cable clips make tight connections.2.14

While the Instant Power™ is charging, the battery’s percentage of charge3. will be displayed. When the internal battery is fully charged, the display
will show 100. Complete charging may take up to 72 hours. The Instant
Power™ is then ready to use.
The charger will automatically go into maintain mode and maintain the4. battery at full charge without damaging it.
Charge the Instant Power™ as soon as possible after use.5.
Do not use the Instant Power™ while charging the internal
battery.
You may also charge the internal battery while driving, using the male-to-male
charger cable. Insert one end of the accessory cable into the 12V DC power
outletandtheotherendintothevehicle’saccessoryoutlet(lightersocket).
Completely disconnect the charger cable when the engine is not running.
Using this method to charge the battery overrides the
maintain mode and the battery can be overcharged. Monitor the progress of
thebatteryandwhenitreachesafull(100%)charge,disconnectthecharger.
Do not leave the battery unattended or it could explode causing property
damage or personal injury.
