the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Compressor Power Button has been turned off
before attempting to use the unit as a Jump Starter.
WARNING
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE:
• Follow all safety instructions found in the "Specific Safety Instructions for
Jump Starters" section of this instruction manual.
• Never touch red and black clamps together. This can cause dangerous
sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• If the clamps are connected incorrectly with regard to polarity, the unit will
sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are disconnected. The backlit
LCD Screen will display the Battery Status Icon, the Battery Voltage Indicator
and the Clamp Icons. The "+" and"–" signs above the Clamp Icons, the
Arrow Icons and the Alarm Icon will flash. The backlit LCD screen will
display the following:
CAUTION
: The unit will suffer permanent damage if the Jump Starter
Power Switch is turned on while the clamps connected with reverse polarity.
Disconnect the clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• If the Jump Starter Power Switch is turned on and the unit detects that the
clamps are not connected to a battery, a two-second warning will sound
every 10 seconds. The LCD screen will display the Battery Status Icon, the
Battery Voltage Indicator, and the Clamp Icons with the "+" and"–" signs.
The Alarm Icon and the Jump Starter Icon will flash. The backlit LCD screen
will display the following:
Turn off the Jump Starter Power Switch; connect the clamps to the battery,
making sure the clamps are connected with correct polarity; then turn the
Jump Starter Power Switch back on.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) jumper cable first, followed by the
positive (red) jumper cable, except for positive grounded systems.
Procedure
Take the following steps, observing all cautions and warnings in the "Important
Safety Instructions" section at the front of this manual.
1. Turn off vehicle ignition and all accessories (radio, A/C, lights, connected
cell phone chargers, etc.). Place vehicle in "park" and set the emergency
brake.
2. Make sure the jump-starter power switch is in the off position.
3. Remove jumper clamps from clamp tabs. Connect the red clamp first,
then the black clamp.
4. Procedure for jump-starting a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (negative
battery terminal is connected to chassis) (MOST COMMON)
4a. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle battery's positive
terminal.
4b. Connect negative (–) black clamp to chassis or a solid, non-
moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never clamp
directly to negative battery terminal or moving part. Refer to
the automobile owner's manual.
5. Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS
NOTE:
In the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded
System (positive battery terminal is connected to chassis), replace steps
4a and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.
5a. Connect negative (–) black clamp to vehicle battery's
negative terminal.
5b. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid,
non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never
clamp directly to positive battery terminal or moving part.
Refer to the automobile owner's manual.
6. When the clamps are connected properly, the backlit LCD screen will
display the following to indicate the unit is ready to jump-start:
The Battery Status icon, Battery Voltage Indicator, Clamp Icons and the
"+" and"–" signs light solid. The jump starter icon will flash to indicate
the clamps are properly connected.
7. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch on. When the Jump-Starter Power
Switch is turned on, the Engine Icon lights solid indicating it is time
to start the vehicle. Turn on the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6
second bursts until engine starts. The backlit LCD screen will display the
following:
The Battery Status Icon, the Battery Voltage Indicator, Jump Starter Icon,
Clamp Icons and the "+" and"–" signs light solid to indicate the unit is
jump-starting.
8. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch off.
9. Disconnect the negative (–) engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect
the positive (+) battery clamp.
IMPORTANT: Always turn the unit off when not in use. Recharge this unit fully
after each use.
CAUTION
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if
vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting this type of vehicle,
read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is
advised.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle's starter motor. If the
engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts, discontinue
jump-start procedure and look for other problems that need to be corrected.
• If vehicle fails to start, turn off the ignition, turn off the Jump-Starter Power
Switch, disconnect the jump-start system's leads and contact a qualified
technician to investigate why the engine did not start.
LED AREA LIGHT
The built-in 3-LED area light is controlled by the area light power button on
the control panel (refer to the Features section to locate). Press the area light
power button once to turn the light on. Press the area light power button again
to turn the area light off.
IMPORTANT: When the area light power button is pressed to turn it on, a beep
will sound. The backlit LCD screen will turn on for 10 seconds (only) and will
then continuously display the Battery Status Icon and Battery Voltage Indicator.
Periodically check the unit's battery status on the LCD screen. Four solid bars
in the battery icon indicates a full battery. When the battery level is nearly
empty with only one solid bar, the unit MUST be recharged at this time or the
unit's built-in low voltage protection will activate. The unit will sound a beep 5
times, then the area light will automatically turn off. The unit will then display
the battery status and voltage indicator for 10 seconds before automatic shut
down.
Make sure the area light and the unit are turned off when the unit is being
recharged or stored.
120 VOLT AC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual
equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts.
Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated is below 500
watts. If the power consumption is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC
volts (120) to determine the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for this unit to run; however, it will not run
larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters), which require far
more wattage than the unit can deliver on a continuous basis. Inductive loads
(such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate than do resistive
loads of the same wattage rating.
