SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new
Stanley
®
Powerit™ Professional Power Station.
Read this Instruction Manual and follow the
instructions carefully before using this unit.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge
over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-
discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least every 30 days.
IMPORTANT:
If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery status LEDs illuminate as if the unit is fully charged when connected to
a charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit
charging for a period of 40 hours using the built-in AC charger before use.
WARNING: Never attempt to use the AC and DC charging methods at the same time.
Notes:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 40 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
CAUTION: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump
starting performance.
Charging/Recharging Using the 120 Volt AC Charger and a Standard Household Extension Cord (not
included)
1. Lift the cover built-in 120 volt AC charger located on the lower left front of the unit (refer to the Features section to locate). Connect
an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
2. Charge until two red LED battery status indicators light and one green LED battery status indicator lights or flashes.
3. Disconnect the extension cord.
Notes:
The unit cannot be overcharged using the AC method.
The unit will not charge if the inverter power switch is turned on.
12 Volt DC Charging Method (may be sold separately)
WARNING: NEVER connect this unit to a positive grounded vehicle using the 12 Volt DC Adapter.
The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging from 120 volt AC. The 12 volt DC recharging procedure
is recommended only when it is necessary, since frequent use of the 12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.
Charging the unit from an external 12 volt DC power source requires the use of the 12 Volt DC adapter. This adapter has a male DC
connector at each end.
1. Insert the gold-tipped 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter plug into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 volt DC accessory outlet on the front panel of the unit.
3. Charge the unit until the green FULL indicator lights when the Battery Power Level Button is pressed (with the adapter unplugged
from the unit). DO NOT CHARGE MORE THAN 6 HOURS MAXIMUM USING THIS METHOD.
4. When charging is complete, remove the charging cord and store in a safe place.
Notes:
Some vehicles require that the ignition be switched to the accessory outlet position in order to power the accessory outlet.
Do not leave the unit unattended when charging using the this method.
JUMP-STARTER
This Jump-Starter is equipped with an On/Off Power Switch. Once the connections are properly made, turn the switch on to jump-start the
vehicle.
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 turned to off.
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.
