Congratulations

on selecting the Vector™ 

INDUSTRIAL SERIES™ 900 JUMPSTART SYSTEM & POWER SUP-

PLY

.

Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to the unit or items
that you are using it with. 

In addition to a built-in 12-volt power supply, the 

INDUSTRIAL 900™ JUMPSTART SYSTEM

has several exclusive

features that set it apart from other similar devices. Primarily, it includes a special, built-in mounting (Patent Pending)
that allows for the simple, slide-in addition of a 110-volt AC power inverter (sold separately for Model VEC021;
included with Model VEC021AC). This will allow you to upgrade the basic unit to run 110-volt AC devices, while
still 
maintaining the unit’s one-piece, compact styling.

The 

INDUSTRIAL 900™ JUMPSTART SYSTEM

is a convenient, easy-to-carry, completely portable system that is per-

fect for emergency situations and remote locations - when jumpstarting assistance or permanent utility power
sources are not available. It is also ideal for use with Vector™ 12-volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable products.
