RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
1.9
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE 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™.
1.10 To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by
the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of the battery. Review the cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
1.11 This Instant Power™ employs parts, such as circuit breakers, that tend to produce arcs and
sparks. If used in a garage, locate this Instant Power™ 18 inches (46 cm) or more above
floor level.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

2.2
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 the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.3
Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
2.4
Do not permit the internal battery of the Instant Power™ to freeze. Never charge a
frozen battery.
2.5
To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clips to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.
2.6
Consider having someone nearby to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
2.7
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin,
clothing or eyes.
2.8
Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and protective clothing.
Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.
2.9
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and
water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
2.10 If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT
induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
