1. Insert the wall charger pin into the CHARGING JACK (located in the rear of the
Truck PAC).
2. Connect the wall charger AC/DC ADAPTOR to the AC outlet (the yellow
CHARGING light will light). (See Figure 2.)
3. Allow the Truck PAC to charge until the CHARGE COMPLETE light comes on
(you can monitor the progress by checking the red POWER LEVEL lights –
when all three POWER LEVEL lights are lit the CHARGE COMPLETE light
should come on).
4. Once the CHARGE COMPLETE light comes on, charge another three to six
hours, (three hours is acceptable, but to ensure maximum output capability, six
hours is preferred).
Note: The CHARGING COMPLETE LED indicates that the charging process is
complete. It may illuminate for a short period after the charger is unplugged
from the unit due to the surface charge, but this will only occur for a short time,
which is normal. To assess the unit's readiness, monitor the Power Level LED's.
5. If you are not planning to use your Truck PAC right away, you may leave it
connected to the wall charger. We recommend that the wall charger remain
connected to the Truck PAC when not in use.
Charging using the supplied 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord. This alternative
charging method may be used when access to an AC outlet is unavailable.
Note: This method can only be used to charge Model No. ES6000. Model No.
ES8000 cannot be charged in this manner.
1. Start the vehicle's engine.
2. Plug one end of the 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord into the Truck PAC
12 Volt outlet and the other end into a vehicle 12 Volt outlet.
3. Press the test button once every hour to check the POWER LEVEL. When all of
the red lights and the CHARGE COMPLETE light come on, charge the Truck
PAC another 1 to 2 hours to insure a complete recharge.
Note: The CHARGING COMPLETE LED indicates that the charging process is
complete. It may illuminate for a short period after the cord is unplugged from
the unit due to the surface charge, but this will only occur for a short time,
which is normal. To assess the unit's readiness, monitor the Power Level LED's.
Note: DO NOT OVERCHARGE! This is not an automatic method of charging
the Truck PAC. You must frequently monitor the charging process (POWER
LEVEL indicators by pressing the TEST button) to ensure the unit is not
overcharged. Overcharging will damage your Truck PAC.
