5. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a. Consider having someone close
enough by to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
b. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c. Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near battery.
d. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water. If
acid enters eye, immediately flood eye 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.
6. CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a. Connect and disconnect Clips only after
setting any switches to "off" position.
Never allow Clips to touch each other.
b. Attach Clips to battery and chassis
as indicated in 7(e) and 7(f).
7. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a. Position cables to reduce risk of damage
by hood, door, or moving engine part.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and
other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
d. Determine which post of battery is
grounded (connected) to the chassis. If
negative post is grounded to chassis (as
in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post
is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
e. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect
POSITIVE (RED) Clip from inflator to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) Clip to vehicle chassis
or engine block away from battery. Do not
connect Clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-
metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
f. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) Clip from inflator to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of
battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) Clip to vehicle
chassis or engine block away from battery. Do
not connect Clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or
sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
g. When disconnecting inflator, turn switches
to off, remove Clip from vehicle chassis, and
then remove Clip from battery terminal.
8.
Wear ANSI-approved splash-resistant
safety goggles and heavy-duty rubber
work gloves whenever connecting,
disconnecting, or working near battery.
Battery acid can cause permanent blindness.
9. Maintain labels and nameplates on the
inflator. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
10. This product is not a toy. Keep it
out of reach of children.
11. Have your inflator serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the Inflator is maintained.
12. Do not use inflator while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating Inflator
may result in serious personal injury.
13. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
In addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Properly maintain and inspect
to avoid electrical shock.
• Properly ground power cord. Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should
also be implemented – it prevents
sustained electrical shock.
14. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
