• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings
on these products and on the engine.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of injury or property damage:
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN
BATTERY.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if
vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read the vehicle’s
owner’s manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine
or jump starter.
• Be extra careful to avoid dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part and could cause
an explosion.
• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-
ventilated area.
• Always store battery clamps when not in use. Never touch battery
clamps together. This can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing and/
or explosion.
• When using this unit close to the vehicle’s battery and engine, stand
the unit on a flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all clamps, cords,
clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle parts.
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another
common metal conductor – this could cause damage to the unit and/or
create a sparking/explosion hazard.
– For negative-grounded systems, connect the Positive (Red) Clamp to
the POSITIVE ungrounded battery post and the Negative (Black) Clamp
to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not
connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine
block.
– For positive-grounded systems, connect the Negative (Black) Clamp to
the NEGATIVE ungrounded battery post and the Positive (Red) Clamp
to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not
connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine
block.
• Make sure to connect the clamps with correct polarity. Damage caused by
improper connection is not covered by the Warranty.
• Always disconnect the negative (Black) jumper cable first, followed by the
positive (Red) jumper cable, except for positive grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before
disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty
electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 Volt DC
battery system. Do not connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt battery system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular
battery. Do not attempt to operate a vehicle that does not have a battery
installed.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle’s starter motor. If
the engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts,
discontinue jump-start procedures and look for other problems that may
need to be corrected.
• Do not use this jump-starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine
applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that
unit be kept upright during storage, use and recharging. To avoid possible
damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect it from direct
sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
USB POWER PORTS
• Do not insert foreign objects into the USB Power Ports.
• Do not attach USB hubs or more than one personal electronic device to
each USB Power Port.
• Do not use this unit to operate appliances that require more than 15W
when using the USB-A port only; 25W when using the USB-C port only;
up to 5V/15W output on both the USB-A and USB-C when they are used
simultaneously.
FIRST AID
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate
assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause
injury to persons.
• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with
battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware of first
aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead acid battery. A lead acid battery can
produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or similar metal
object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle when jump-
starting a vehicle, friction can cause dangerous static-electrical sparks.
Skin: If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water for at least 10 minutes. If redness, pain, or irritation
occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
Eyes: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately,
for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new 800 Amp Jump-Starter.
Read this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before
using this unit.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge
and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time
and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic
charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is
not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at
least every 30 days and after each use.
Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must
fully charge it upon purchase and before using it for the first
time. Initial AC charge should be for 24 hours or all four
Battery Status LED Indicators light solid.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery
life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/
or overcharging will reduce battery life. The battery can be
recharged using the supplied 120 Volt AC Charger.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during
recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
If you know the unit is discharged, but the green LED lights
as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a charging
power source, this may be due to the internal battery having
high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the
unit charging for a period of 40 hours using the supplied AC
charger before use.
CAUTION – Risk of property damage: Failure to keep the battery
charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting
performance.
Charging/Recharging Using the Supplied AC Charger
1. Make sure all of the unit’s functions are turned off.
2. Insert the barrel connector of the AC charger into the 12 volt DC
charging port on the back of the unit. Insert the plug end into a
(powered) standard North American 120 volt 60Hz outlet.
3. Charge until the green LED lights solid.
