Battery Charge Status Indicators
A series of three LED indicators (one red, one yellow and one green) display
the level of charge in the battery. The left red LED indicates minimum battery
charge. Charge the battery when only a single red LED is lit. The center yellow
LED indicates moderate battery charge level. When the green LED is lit, the
battery is at full charge. The charge status LEDs will light when the charge
status pushbutton is pressed, or automatically during AC recharge operation.
AC Recharge Port
Located just below the 12 volt DC outlet, the AC port is also covered by a rubber
cap. The AC recharge adapterʼs barrel connector plugs into this port during
recharge.
Applications
• Jump-start most engines with standard 12 volt DC battery systems, such as
boats, small trucks, cars, airplanes, RVs, personal watercraft, snowmobiles,
tractors, etc.
USING THE UNIT AS A JUMP-STARTER
This Jump-Starter is equipped with a safety Power Switch that only allows
energy to flow when proper connections are made to battery and frame. 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)
