in fire or serious injury.

Note:

If used when the engine is not

running, the battery will discharge. There

may be insufficient power to restart your

engine.

Note:

Do not insert objects other than an

accessory plug into the power point. This

will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.

Note:

Do not hang any type of accessory or

accessory bracket from the plug.

Note:

Do not use the power point over the

vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or

a fuse may blow.

Note:

Do not use the power point for

operating a cigar lighter element.

Note:

Improper use of the power point can

cause damage not covered by your

warranty.

Note:

Always keep the power point caps

closed when not in use.

Run the engine for full capacity use of the

power point. To prevent the battery from

being discharged:

•

in fire or serious injury.

Note:

Keep the engine running to use the
