PREPARING TO USE THE INSTANT POWER3. ™
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS
A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the jump starter is being 3.1
used.
Clean the battery terminals before using the jump starter. During cleaning, keep airborne 3.2
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.

battery manufacturer. Do not overll. For a battery without removable cell caps, such
as valve regulated lead acid batteries (VRLA), carefully follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
