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.
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 clamps are connected properly, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch to ON.
7. Turn ON the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until engine starts.
8. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch back to the OFF position.
9. Disconnect the negative (–) engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect the positive (+) battery clamp.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
•
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THE “Specific safety instructions for jump starters” section of this
instruction manual.
• This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles with 12-volt DC battery systems.
• Never touch red and black clamps together — this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• After use, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch off.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• 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 the connections to the battery’s positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the reverse polarity indicator will light and the unit will
sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are disconnected. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• 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.
• Recharge this unit fully after each use.
PORTABLE COMPRESSOR
The built-in 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. The compressor
hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel on the back of the unit. The Compressor Power Switch is located on the front left of
the unit under the air pressure gauge. The compressor can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must
be recharged.
The compressor may be used by removing the air hose from the storage compartment and if required, fitting the nozzle adapter to the air
hose. Return the hose and nozzle adapter, if used, to the storage compartment after use.
Inflating Tires or Products With Valve Stems
1. Screw the Sure Fit
®
nozzle onto the valve stem. Do not overtighten.
2. Turn on the Compressor Power Switch.
3. Check pressure with the pressure gauge.
4. When desired pressure is reached, turn off the Compressor Power Switch.
5. Unscrew and remove the Sure Fit
®
nozzle from the valve stem.
6. Allow the unit to cool before storing away.
Inflating Other Inflatables Without Valve Stems
Inflation of other items requires use of the nozzle adapter.
1. Screw the adapter into the Sure Fit
®
nozzle. Do not overtighten.
2. Insert the adapter into item to be inflated.
3. Turn on the Compressor Power Switch — inflate to desired pressure or fullness.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Small items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly. Do not over-inflate.
