Important Safety Instructions
The XPower Powerpack 400 and XPower Powerpack 400
Plus generate a type of AC power similar to a normal
household wall outlet. Operating the XPower Powerpack 400
and XPower Powerpack 400 Plus incorrectly or misusing it
may damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions
for the user.
Warnings and Cautions
Important: Before using your XPower Powerpack 400 and
XPower Powerpack 400 Plus, be sure to read and save these
safety instructions.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Keep Away
from Children.
The XPower Powerpack 400 and XPower Powerpack
400 Plus generates the same potentially lethal AC
power as a normal household wall outlet. Do not
insert foreign objects into the AC Outlet, the DC
Power Socket, the Jump-Start Cable Port, or the
ventilation holes. Do not expose this product to
water, rain, snow, or spray.
Do not open the XPower Powerpack 400 and
XPower Powerpack 400 Plus except to replace the
internal battery. Have a qualified technician complete
any service work.

Important Safety Instructions

-
CAUTION
Do not connect any AC appliance with the neutral
conductor connected to ground to the XPower
Powerpack 400 and XPower Powerpack 400 Plus.
CAUTION
Do not expose the XPower Powerpack 400 and
XPower Powerpack 400 Plus to temperatures over
104°F(40°C).
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Do not use this product where there are flammable
fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline-
powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use this
product in an enclosure containing automotive-type
lead acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed
AGM battery in XPower Powerpack 400 and
XPower Powerpack 400 Plus, vent explosive
hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks from
electrical connections.
When working on electrical equipment, always
ensure someone is nearby to help you in an
emergency.

Important Safety Instructions
975-0057-01-01 v
WARNING: Heated surface
Ensure at least 2" (5 cm) air space is maintained on
all sides of the XPower Powerpack 400 and XPower
Powerpack 400 Plus. During operation, keep away
from materials that may be affected by high
temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping
bags.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Never allow jump-start cables’ 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. Always
disconnect the jump-start cables from the unit after
use and clip the plastic guard over the jump-start
cable port.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Jump-start cable clamps must be connected positive
to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to
negative (black clamp to battery “-”). A reverse
polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause
damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion
hazard.

Important Safety Instructions
vi 975-0057-01-01
WARNING: Fire hazard
The jump-start feature is designed for short term
operation only—less than 4 seconds. Operating the
jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may
cause damage to the unit. Allow the XPower
Powerpack 400 and XPower Powerpack 400 Plus to
cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jump-
start.
WARNING: Risk of explosion, fire or
burns
The battery terminals exposed at the Jump-Start
Cable Port have enough energy present to cause a
spark, creating an explosion hazard, or to cause burns
if a metal object contacts both terminals. Always clip
the plastic guard over the Port when not in use.
WARNING: Fire Hazard -
XPower
Powerpack 400 Plus
Do not leave the compressor unattended while
operating. The compressor is designed for short term
operation only. Operation of the compressor over an
extended period of time will cause the compressor
unit to overheat and may cause damage. Allow the
compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each
10 minutes of continuous operation.

Precautions When Working With Batteries
1. Follow all instructions published by the battery
manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in
which the battery is installed.
2. Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.
3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the
engine or batteries.
4. Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or
allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive
and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts
and cause an explosion.
5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or other similar
objects to metal, causing a severe burn.
6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the
positive terminal from the battery first. Make sure all
accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.
7. Someone should be within range of your voice, or close
enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-
acid battery.
8. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, and eyes.
9. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.
Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.

10. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your
eyes, immediately flood them with running cold water for
at least twenty minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
11. Keep a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the
batteries. Baking soda neutralizes lead-acid battery
electrolyte.
