Care and Maintenance

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn the unit off and
disconnect it from any power source before installing and removing
accessories, before adjusting or when performing maintenance. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Never submerge this unit in water. Dirt and grease may be removed
from the exterior of the unit using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush
moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent. Never let any
liquid get inside the unit; never immerse any part of the unit into a liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the AC extension cord
before cleaning.
Except for the fuse in the 12V DC Charging Adapter, there are
no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of
adapters, connectors and wires. Contact manufacturer to replace any
components that have become worn or broken.

THE INTERNAL BATTERY

All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly
at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use, we recommend
that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The batteries should last the service life of the unit. Service life is
dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to the
number of recharge cycles, and proper care and maintenance of the
battery by the end user. Contact manufacturer for any information you
may need.

SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL

Contains a maintenance-free, sealed, non-spillable, lead
acid battery, which must be disposed of properly. Recycling
is required. Failure to comply with local, state and federal
regulations can result in fines, or imprisonment.
Please recycle.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or property
damage:
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in an explosion.
• Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with
heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result
in injury or fire).
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.
12 VOLT DC ADAPTER PLUG FUSE REPLACEMENT
The fuse in the plug end of the 12 Volt DC Adapter protects the
adapter's charging circuit. If the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger operates,
but the DC charging adapter does not, then this fuse may be opened
(blown).
To replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).
2. Remove spring center contact and fuse.
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4. If blown, locate a replacement 2 amp.
5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.
6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight – DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN.
7. Test for proper operation of the 12 volt DC charging adapter.
