First Aid - Vector VECJ1C Instruction Manual

CAUTION –
To reduce the risk of injury or property damage:
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if
vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read the vehicle's
owner's manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine
or power station.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause
injury to persons.
• 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 similar metal
object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle. Friction can
cause dangerous static-electrical sparks.
• Be extra careful to avoid dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part and could cause
an explosion.
• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-
ventilated area.
• Always store battery clamps when not in use. Never touch battery
clamps together. This can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing and/
or explosion.
• When using this unit close to the vehicle's battery and engine, stand
the unit on a flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all clamps, cords,
clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle parts.
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another
common metal conductor — this could cause damage to the unit and/or
create a sparking/explosion hazard.
a) For negative-grounded systems, connect the Positive (Red) Clamp to
the positive ungrounded battery post and the Negative (Black) Clamp
to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not
connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine
block.
b) For positive-grounded systems, connect the Negative (Black) Clamp
to the negative ungrounded battery post and the Positive (Red) Clamp
to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not
connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine
block.
• If the clamps are connected incorrectly with regard to polarity, the backlit
LCD Screen will display the Battery Status Icon, Battery Voltage Indicator,
and the Clamp Icons. The Alarm Icon, the "+" and "–" signs and the
Reverse Polarity Icons will flash and the unit will sound a continuous alarm
until the clamps are disconnected. Disconnect the clamps and reconnect
to battery with correct polarity.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) jumper cable first, followed by the
positive (red) jumper cable, except for positive grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before
disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty
electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 volt DC
battery system. Do not connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt battery system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular
battery. Do not attempt to operate a vehicle that does not have a battery
installed.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle's starter motor. If
the engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts,
discontinue jump-start procedures and look for other problems that may
need to be corrected.
• Do not use this jump starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine
applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that
unit be kept upright during storage, use and recharging. To avoid possible
damage that may shorten the unit's working life, protect it from direct
sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USB PORT
• Do not insert foreign objects into the USB Ports.
• Do not attach USB hubs or more than one personal electronic device to
the USB Ports.
• Some household USB-powered electronics will not operate with this unit.
• Do not use this unit to operate appliances that require more than 15W
when using the USB-A Port only; 25W when using the USB-C Port only;
up to 5V/15W output on both the USB-A and USB-C when they are used
simultaneously.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPRESSORS
CAUTION –
To reduce the risk of injury or property damage: Never
leave the compressor unattended while in use.
WARNING –
Burst hazard: Bursting articles can cause serious injury.
• Carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
• Never exceed the recommended pressure listed in instructions on articles
to be inflated. If no pressure is given, contact article manufacturer before
inflating.
• Monitor the pressure at all times on the pressure gauge.
CAUTION –
To reduce the risk of property damage:
Do not operate compressor continuously for longer than approximately
10 minutes, depending on ambient temperatures, as it may overheat. This
could damage the compressor.

FIRST AID

When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate
assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.
Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with
battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware of first
aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin.
Skin:
• If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with
water, then wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or
irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
Eyes:
•
If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately,
for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
LCD liquid crystal display:
•
with your skin: Wash area off completely with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing. If liquid crystal gets into your eye: Flush the
affected eye with clean water and then seek medical attention. If liquid
crystal is swallowed: Flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large
quantities of water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical attention.
