Moving And Storage Instructions; Troubleshooting - Schumacher SJ1342 Owner's Manual

7. MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

7.1 Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
7.2 Do not store the clips on the handle,
clipped together, on or around metal, or
clipped to cables. The clips on the jump
starter are live when the switch is in the
ON position and will produce arcing or
sparking if they come in contact with each
other. To prevent accidental arcing, always
place the switch in the OFF position and
keep the clips on the storage holders when
not using it to jump start a vehicle.
7.3 If the jump starter is moved around the
shop or transported to another location,
take care to avoid/prevent damage to the
cords, clips and jump starter. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury or
property damage.
IMPORTANT: Do not use and/or store the
jump starter in or on any area or surface
