The Rescue Aero Model portable power packs are specially designed to
provide starting assistance to light aircraft and service vehicles commonly
used at airports served by FBO providers. Each of these power packs is
equipped with an SB type electrical connector which can be plugged into
a connector harness designed to fit Piper-style receptacles, AN2551 3 pin
connectors or equipped with conventional jumper clamps that can connect
to battery terminals and vehicle grounds.
WARNING – Risk of Fire, Explosion, Electrical Damage
• Incorrect or mismatched voltage connections can damage the airplane, vehicle, or
portable power pack.
• Make sure that 12V systems are only connected to 12V power packs and 24V systems
are only connected to 24V power packs.
WARNING – Risk of Explosion or Fire
1. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury, destruction of the power
pack, or damage to your aircraft or vehicle.
2. Read owner's manual before use.
3. Wear safety goggles whenever working around vehicle batteries.
4. Wear gloves and protective clothing.
The Rescue 5020 is a wheeled cart style porta-
ble power pack with the auxiliary aero connector
mounted on the side of the cabinet. An extension
harness (602560) is plugged into the connector
on the power pack and the appropriate connec-
tion harness can then be attached. Using the
voltage selection connections on the front of the
unit, the operator can choose whether the aero
output is 12V or 24V.
• Note: Once the connection has been made
on the front of the Rescue 5020, the auxiliary
aero output is energized.
• Do not connect the front power selector until
the connections have been made to the
aircraft or vehicle to be jump started.
• Be sure to verify the voltage required for the
aircraft or vehicle being jump started. Selecting
the incorrect voltage can damage the
aircraft or vehicle systems, or may damage
the portable power pack.
