WARNING!
DO NOT
connect the black negative (-) booster clamp to the nega
-
tive terminal of your battery. Connecting to the battery’s negative terminal
can cause sparking in close proximity to the battery’s natural explosive gases,
leading to a dangerous explosion. Once the cables are connected,
DO NOT
wiggle the clamps around trying to make a better connection. This can cause
sparking and is an explosion hazard.
7. Start your vehicle.
WARNING!
Be careful of moving parts such as belts, pulleys, or fan blades in the
engine compartment that can cause injury.
8. Disconnect the black negative clamp first. Return it to the safety shield marked
(-) for negative. Insert it, lifting it up and moving it over the hook in the side of
the housing.
9. Disconnect red positive clamp. Return it to the safety shield marked (+) for
positive.
NOTE:
If your vehicle does not start within 10 seconds, allow the Jumpstart
system’s internal battery to cool for 3 minutes before attempting to start the
vehicle again.
NOTE:
If your vehicle battery is so dead that its ignition light does not come on,
let the Jumpstart remain connected to the battery for 10-20 minutes before
attempting to start the vehicle.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
attempt to operate 12 volt accessories from the Jumpstart
system while trying to start a vehicle.
POWER SUPPLY FOR 12 VOLT ACCESSORIES
The three
12 volt cigarette-lighter type power outlet
s (
A, fig.1
) on the control
panel will operate most 12 volt accessories with a draw of 10 amps or less through
cigarette-lighter adaptors. When fully charged, the Jumpstart system will supply
power to a 10 amp accessory for approximately one hour, a 6 amp accessory for
approximately two hours, and a 4 amp accessory for approximately three hours.
1. Make sure the
12 volt power outlet on/off switch
(
H, fig.1
) on the control
panel is in the “OFF” position (the side of the switch marked “O” is depressed).
2. Remove the protective rubber cover from the
12 volt cigarette-lighter-type
power outlet
s (
A, fig.1
) and plug in your 12 volt accessory’s cigarette-lighter
adaptor.
3. Turn the
12 volt power outlet on/off switch
(
H, fig.1
) to the “ON” position
(depress the side of the switch marked “I”).
NOTE:
The
12 volt cigarette-lighter-type power outlet
s (A, fig 1) are protected
by a fuse that prevents damage to the unit in case of short circuit or overdraw
current.
1. If the fuse blows, turn the
master power switch
(
H, fig.1
) off (depress the side
of the switch marked “O”).
2. Disconnect the 12 volt accessory.
3. Replace the blown fuse with another 15 amp of identical type.
4. Have the 12 volt accessory checked for possible defects before re-connecting.
AIR COMPRESSOR
CAUTION:
Do not over-inflate! Check the manufacturer’s air pressure require
-
ments for what you are inflating and watch the pressure gauge on the front of
the Jumpstart. This compressor is capable of putting out 250 psi, but it is a
light-duty unit; it does not produce a large volume of air, so it may take some
time to inflate larger objects.
1. To use the compressor, open the
rear compartment cover
(
P, fig.2
) located on
the back of the unit by depressing the
rear compartment locking tab
(
O, fig.2
).
2. Pull out the
air hose and nozzle
(
Q, fig.2
).
3. Make sure the nozzle lever is in the up position, in line with the metal chuck’s
body (fig 2 shows the lever folded down).
