INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the Vector Power City® Multi-Function AC/DC Power System. Power City is an
advanced power and lump-start system with unique features that set it far above the value and utility of ordinary
jump-starters. It supplies AC for 110/120 volt appliances to 200 watts, and DC for 12 volt appliances to 23 amps. It
can jumpstart any vehicle with a standard 12 volt DC electrical system: boat, truck, car, airplane, RV, personal
watercraft, snowmobile, tractor, etc. See Figure 1.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This advanced design is ideal for emergencies and can also enhance your fun by powering
appliances on the road and at the campsite. Be sure to read and understand all WARNINGS an
CAUTIONS before using this product. Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure
optimum performance and avoid damage to the system or items that you are using it with.
Power City® has several exclusive features that set it apart from other similar devices. Primarily,
it includes a special, patented, built-in mounting for a supplied, removable 12 VDC to 110/120
volt AC power inverter. This allows you to operate 110 volt AC devices to 200 watts, while still
maintaining the jump-starter
*
s one-piece compact styling. When the inverter is removed from the
main unit it can be fully powered from any accessory socket that can provide up to 23 amperes at
12 VDC.
A removable Lantern operates from Power City
*
s self-contained battery. It can be operated
attached to the main unit or removed from the Main Unit. Away from the Main Unit, the Lantern
is powered using an extension cord attached to the Inverter power cable. This feature is invaluable
when it becomes necessary to locate battery terminals while preparing to jumpstart a dead battery
in the dark, changing a tire, etc.
Power City is also ideal to power 12 volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable appliances with
ratings up to 23 amperes. For information about Vector appliances, contact Vector Customer
Support for the location of the nearest retailer.
The unit has an easy-to-read, series of LEDs (light emitting diodes) arranged as a charge status
display that shows when the unit is fully charged or the level of charge in the battery (from low to
full). The charge status display activates whenever the charge status pushbutton is pressed or
automatically during AC recharge operations. Two 12 volt DC outlets are provided for use with
appliances that can operate from the accessory outlet.
NOTE:
that all exposed electrical sockets
recharge ports have covers that help keep out dirt, dust and moisture.
Another feature is the high pressure, self-contained air compressor. This compressor allows quick
inflation of tires, sports balls and other small inflatables. An easy-to-read analog pressure gauge
allows accurate pressure readings, so there
*
s no guesswork about critical tire pressures. Now
there is no excuse for driving on under, or over-inflated tires. Three different types of adapter
nozzles allow for easy connection to all popular inflatables. A compressor on/off slide switch
located between the lump-start clamps controls operation of the compressor. The air compressor
hose and connector nozzle are stored on the back of the unit. (See Figure 3)
