WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Only devices designed for use in this type
of outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt
outlet.
•
Do not touch with wet hands.
•
Close the lid when not in use and while
driving the vehicle.
•
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
•
Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough,
the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or pre-
vent the engine from starting.
(Continued)
CAUTION!
(Continued)
•
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
greater caution.
•
After the use of high power draw accesso-
ries, or long periods of the vehicle not
being
started
(with
accessories
still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the gen-
erator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
