975-0162-01-01_Rev-C.book Page v Friday, October 20, 2006 10:40 AM Important Safety Instructions WARNING: Explosion hazard Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline- powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed AGM battery in XPower Powerpack, vent explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.
975-0162-01-01_Rev-C.book Page vi Friday, October 20, 2006 10:40 AM Important Safety Instructions WARNING: Risk of explosion, fire or burns The battery terminals exposed at the Jump-Start Cable Port have enough energy present to cause a spark, creating an explosion hazard, or to cause burns if a metal object contacts both terminals. Always clip the plastic guard over the Port when not in use. WARNING: Fire hazard Do not leave the compressor unattended while operating.
75-0162-01-01_Rev-C.book Page vii Friday, October 20, 2006 10:40 AM Important Safety Instructions 4. Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and cause an explosion. 5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries.
975-0162-01-01_Rev-C.book Page viii Friday, October 20, 2006 10:40 AM Important Safety Instructions Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances CAUTION The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal. Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output. Some chargers for rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the XPower Powerpack 400 Plus and XPower Powerpack 400 R.
