Contains sealed, non-spillable lead
acid battery. Must be disposed of
properly.
WARNING
2. – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous.
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery
operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that when
using the unit, you read this manual and follow the instructions
exactly.
b. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions
and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer
of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery.
Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
3.
a. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough
to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b. Wear complete eye protection, and clothing protection. Avoid
touching eyes while working near battery.
c. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery
acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
d. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters eyes, immediately flood eyes
with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or
engine.
f. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto
battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical
part that may cause explosion.
g. 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.
h. Use this unit for charging or boosting a LEAD-ACID battery
only. Do not use for charging dry-cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
i. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
j. NEVER allow clamps to touch together or contact the same
piece of metal to prevent arcing.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4.
a. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons and/or property.
b. When using the AC or DC power extension cords, pull on the
plug and NEVER ON THE WIRE when disconnecting.
c. Do not recharge the unit with a damaged charger or power
extension cord. Replace them immediately.
d. The unit may be used under any weather condition. Rain,
snow, hot, or cold temperatures.
e. Do not submerge in water.
f. Do not operate with flammables such as gasoline etc...
g. If the unit receives a sharp blow or is otherwise damaged, in
any way, have it checked by a qualified service person. If the
unit is leaking battery acid do not ship it. Take it to the closest
battery recycler in your area.
h. Do not disassemble the unit. Have it checked by a qualified
service person.
The unit should never be left in a total discharged state for any
period of time. Damage to the battery could be permanent with poor
performance as a result. When not in use, leave the unit's internal
charger connected to AC power or recharge every six (6) months.
When new, your MKS400 should be charged for a minimum of 30

charged when using the internal charger. A two pin male plug on
the front of the MKS400 is connected through a smart circuit
board to the MKS400 making recharging automatic. Overcharging
is not a problem when using the internal charger and the MKS400
internal charger can be left connected to an AC power source
indefinitely.
a. Connect the AC power extension cord onto the MKS400's male
plug. (See figure 3)
b. Plug the AC power extension cord into a correctly wired AC
receptacle (the display will light with the charging voltage and
the grade of charge)
c. Allow the MKS400 to charge until the charge status is Gd.9.
Check by pushing the status button.
d. Once the unit has a Gd.9 status, charge the unit another three
to six hours, (three hours is acceptable but to ensure maximum
output capability, six hours is preferred).
