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.
• Replace worn or defective parts immediately.
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 the connections to the battery’s positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the Reverse Polarity Indicator will light and the unit will sound a
beep. 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.

Make sure the USB Power Button is in the off position when the unit is being recharged or stored.
Some household USB-powered electronics will not operate with this unit.
12 VOLT DC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
This portable power source is also for use with all 12 volt DC accessories equipped with a male accessory outlet plug and are rated up to 5 amps.
1. Lift up the cover of the unit ‘s 12 volt DC outlet.
2. Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance into the 12 volt accessory outlet on the unit. DO NOT EXCEED A 5 AMP LOAD.
3. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
4. Periodically press the battery charge level pushbutton to check battery status.
EMERGENCY AREA LIGHT
The area light is controlled by the Area Light Power Switch on top of the light. Make sure the area light is turned off when the unit is being
recharged or stored.
PORTABLE INFLATOR
The built-in 12 volt DC inflator is the ultimate inflator for all vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. The inflator hose with tire fitting
is stored in a retaining channel on the back of the unit. The On/Off Switch is located on the rear of the unit under the air pressure gauge. The
inflator can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.
The inflator may be used by removing the air hose from the storage hatch and if required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the air hose. Return
hose to the storage compartment after use.
Inflating Tires or Products With Valve Stems
1. Lift the thumb latch on the SureFit
TM
nozzle (chuck) and fit it onto the valve stem.
2. Ensure Surefit
TM
nozzle connector is pushed on to valve stem as far as possible before closing thumb latch.
3. Make sure latch is secure.
4. Turn on the Inflator Power Switch.
5. Check pressure with the pressure gauge.
6. When desired pressure is reached, open thumb latch and remove the SureFit
TM
nozzle connector from the valve stem.
7. Turn off Inflator Power Switch.
8. Allow unit to cool before storing away.
9. Store inflator hose and tire fitting in storage compartment.
Inflating Other Inflatables Without Valve Stems
Inflation of other items requires use of one of the adapters (nozzles).
1. Select the appropriate adapter nozzle.
2. Lift the thumb latch on the SureFit
TM
nozzle, insert the adapter (i.e. needle) into the Surefit
TM
nozzle connector and close thumb latch.

FIRST AID
SKIN:
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water for at least 10 minutes. If redness, pain, or irritation
occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
EYES:
If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately, for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new 450 Amp Jump Starter with Compressor. 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 60 days.
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 24 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life. The
battery can be recharged using either the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger or the DC Charging Adapter.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
Charging/Recharging Using the 120 Volt AC Charger and
a Standard Household Extension Cord (not included)
1. Lift the AC adapter cover located on the back of the unit and 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 and one green LED Battery Status Indicators light.
3. Once fully charged, disconnect the extension cord.
Note:
The unit cannot be overcharged using this method.
12 Volt DC Charging Method
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.
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.
