6
WARNING
–Do not use a Power Station or appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified internal batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
–Do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside.
–Do not tamper or disassemble the Power Station to attempt
service or replace the battery. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
–For service information please contact our Champion
Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999. Please have
your serial number and model number available when
service, repair or replacement is required.
–Never place fingers or hands inside the product.
WARNING
–To reduce the risk of injury or damage, avoid contact with
any hot surface.
–Do not use the Power Station near sources of high heat or
fire. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C)
may cause explosion.
–Do not discharge the Power Station battery in
temperatures below 5°F (-15°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
–Do not allow fluids to flow into the Power Station. Corrosive
or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc.,
can cause a short circuit.
–Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
Power Station outside the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
When charging the Power Station:
–Always charge the Power Station’s internal battery in a
well-ventilated area.
–Do not use the AC charging cable outdoors.
–Do not expose AC charging cable to oil, oil vapor, grease,
gasoline, gasoline vapors or other caustic substances that may
damage the AC charging cable.
–Do not charge the Power Station below 32°F (0°C) or above
113°F (45°C).
–Do not charge Power Station in rain, snow, damp or wet
locations.
–Do not overcharge the Power Station. Use only supplied AC
charging cable and follow solar charging guidelines and
voltage and current limits.
–Always connect to properly grounded outlets.
–Never use Power Station or charger in the presence of
explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable
materials).
–Never leave the Power Station unattended while charging.
If the internal battery smokes, or gives off an odor during
charging, terminate charging immediately.
–During charging, if the Power Station battery becomes hot to
the touch, stop charging. Allow Power Station to cool before
resuming.
–Always unplug charger when not in use.
–To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug charger
before cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow
into plug. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to
reduce shock hazards.
Grounding Information:
Your Power Station must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the Power Station can result in
electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the panel of the Power Station has
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
For remote grounding, connect a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG
minimum) copper wire between the Power Station ground terminal
and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly recommend
that you consult with a qualified electrician to ensure compliance
with local electrical codes.
When storing the Power Station:
–This Power Station is intended to be stored indoors and shall
not be stored or left outdoors when not in use.
–Do not stack any items on top of the Power Station during
storage.
–Store your Power Station in a cool, dry place between 32°F
(0°C) and 104°F (40°C). The ideal storage temperature is 59°F
(15°C).
–Do not store Power Station where temperatures may exceed
104°F (40°C) such as in direct sunlight, in a vehicle or metal
buildings especially during the summer.
–Do not store the Power Station near sources of high heat or
fire.
–Do not store the Power Station when battery level is at 20% or
less state of charge (SOC). The ideal storage SOC is 40-60%.
