Jump Starting a Vehicle Engine

Do not use the jump starter while charging the internal battery.

1. Turn the vehicle’s ignition OFF before making cable connections.
2. Connect the jump starter to the battery following the precautions listed in section 3.
3. Crank the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to start the vehicle again. (This permits the battery to cool down.)

Powering a 12V DC Device:

The jump starter is a power source for all 12V DC accessories that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power outages and fishing or camping trips. The estimated usage time is listed in the chart below. Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC accessory plug into the 12V DC accessory outlet.

1. Ensure that the battery clips are securely clipped on the storage holders.
2. Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the front of the jump starter.
3. Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC device on (if required).
4. If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A or has a short circuit, the internal circuit breaker of the jump starter will trip and disconnect the power to the device. Disconnect the 12V DC device. The breaker will automatically reset after an overload occurs. The DC power outlet is wired directly to the internal battery. Extended operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive battery drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging the 12V DC device.

Using the Inverter

• It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The jump starter must be used with devices drawing 400 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, use only devices that draw less than 4 Amps of AC current. Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors require additional power to start (commonly known as the “starting” or “peak power”).
• The jump starter can supply a momentary surge in wattage; however, even devices rated less than the maximum 400 watts can exceed the inverter surge capability and cause an automatic overload shutdown.
• Do not use the inverter with a product that draws a higher wattage than the inverter can provide, as this may cause damage to the inverter and the product. Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter

Powering a 120V AC Device

To operate a 120V AC device:

1. Ensure that the battery clips are securely on the storage holders.
2. Open the protective cover of the AC power outlet on the front panel of the jump starter.
3. Make sure the 120V AC device to be operated is turned OFF.
4. Plug the 120V AC device into the AC power outlet, and turn the Inverter/Compressor Switch to the INVERTER position.
5. Turn the device on.
6. If the device does not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, push the inverter rocker switch ON, OFF, and ON again in quick succession. If this procedure is not successful, it is likely that the inverter does not have the required capacity to operate the device intended.
7. Charge the jump starter as soon as possible after each use.

• Ensure that all of the jump starter components are in place and in good working condition, for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.
• Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable parts.
• All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.

MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

• Store the jump starter in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
• Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped to cables. The clips on the jump starter are live and will produce arcing
  or sparking if they come in contact with each other. To prevent accidental arcing, always keep the clips on the storage holders when not using it to jump-start a vehicle.
• If the jump starter is moved around the shop or transported to another location, take care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and jump starter. Failure
