JUMP STARTER OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not use with dry-cell batteries. These batteries may burst and may
cause injury to persons or damage personal property.
WARNING:
Never charge or jump-start a vehicle with a frozen battery.
CAUTION:
This device contains a sealed, non-spillable lead-acid battery and must
be disposed of properly. Contact your local government recycling authority for
proper disposal.
CAUTION:
Place device on a flat and stable surface near the vehicle battery that
is clear of any moving parts. Do not smoke, use matches, lighters or open flame
while attempting to jump-start (battery boost) a vehicle. Do not touch battery
clamps together to prevent short circuit or arching.
NOTE:
Some late model vehicles have on-board computers that might be
damaged if jump-started. Always read the vehicle owner’s manual before
attempting to jump-start (battery boost) the vehicle to determine if external-
starting assistance is acceptable.
• Use this device with 12 Volt lead-acid batteries only. Do not connect to 6 Volt
or 24 Volt DC batteries.
• Use only the provided cables and clamps. Do not use additional attachments
other than those recommended or provided by the manufacturer.
Unauthorized parts may damage the device.
• Do not exceed manufacturer’s recommended specifications.
• Keep battery terminals clean. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in
contact with eyes.
1 - Before Connecting to Battery:
Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories.
Set the emergency brake and put the vehicle with automatic transmission in the
park position.
Ensure that the device booster switch is in the Off position.
Access the device booster clamps by squeezing the clamp handles. Pull the
clamps outward and remove clamps from their storage holders.
Determine the polarity of the vehicle battery terminals. The positive (POS, P, +)
battery terminal usually is larger in diameter than the negative (NEG, N, -) terminal.
Follow instructions for negative grounded system or positive grounded system as
indicated in Steps 2 and 3.
2 - Negative Ground System Connection ( – )
Negative battery terminal is grounded to chassis. Most vehicles use this system. (If
you are unsure you should refer to the vehicle owner’s manual).
Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POs, P, +) terminal of
the vehicle battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
Securely connect the negative (-) black clamp to the vehicle chassis, engine block
or a non-moving grounded metal part of the vehicle as far away from the battery
as possible. Do not clamp directly to carburetor, fuel lines, or non-grounded sheet-
metal body parts.
Device green LED is On/Lit (proper battery polarity connection.)
NOTE:
If red LED is On/Lit and alarm sounds, stop! Carefully disconnect the device
booster clamps. Reconnect the device booster clamps to the proper battery
polarity (red booster clamp to the positive terminal of the battery and the black
booster clamp to vehicle ground.)
3 - Positive Ground System Connection ( + )
Positive battery terminal is grounded to chassis or any other metallic part of the
vehicle. (If you are unsure you should refer to the vehicle owner’s manual).
Securely connect the negative (-) black clamp to the negative (NEG, N, -)
ungrounded terminal of the vehicle battery.
Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the vehicle chassis, engine block or
a non-moving grounded metal part of the vehicle as far away from the battery as
possible. Do not clamp directly to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
Device green LED is On/Lit (proper battery polarity connection.)
NOTE:
If red LED is On/Lit and alarm sounds, stop! Carefully disconnect the device
booster clamps. Reconnect the device booster clamps to the proper battery
polarity (black booster clamp to the negative terminal of the battery and the red
booster clamp to vehicle ground.).
4 - Jump Starting Battery
Turn device booster switch clockwise to turn On power to the booster clamps
(located above positive (+) red clamp).
Allow 2 or 3 minutes charging time. It is recommended to have a second person to
assist holding the device unit securely in place during the next steps.
Turn the ignition key and attempt to start the vehicle.
NOTE:
If the vehicle does not start after 4 to 5 seconds of engine cranking, stop and
wait 3 to 4 minutes, then try again. Repeat several times until the vehicle starts.
If the vehicle starts, turn the device booster switch counter clockwise to the Off
position.
Disconnect clamps in reverse sequence to connecting procedure above as far
away from the vehicle battery as practical: For negative grounded system first
disconnect negative (-) black clamp then positive (+) red clamp. For positive
grounded system first disconnect positive (+) red clamp then negative (-) black
clamp.
Replace the clamps to their storage holders.
NOTE:
Excessive engine cranking can damage vehicle starter motor. If the engine
turns, but fails to start after several attempts, other technical problem(s) might
be involved. Discontinue cranking until the other problem is determined and
corrected.
LED LIGHT & EMERGENCY FLASHER OPERATION
To power On the LED light, press the push-button switch (A) once and release.
To power Off, press the push-button switch once more and release.
To power On the emergency flasher, press the push-button switch
(A) once and release.
To power Off, press the push-button switch once more and release.
NOTE:
LED light or emergency flasher functions operate in sequence to each other.
The mode will depend on the prior (last) operating function selected. User may
have to cycle between modes in order to achieve the proper lighting function.
POWER INVERTER OPERATION
Prior to operating, make sure the 120 Volt AC accessory switch and the inverter
power switch (B) are in the Off [ ] position.
Connect the 120 Volt AC accessory to the inverter receptacle (C).
Press the inverter power switch to the On [
–
] position. LED green indicated normal
operation. LED red indicates inverter malfunction (over temperature, over load,
over voltage & low voltage).
Power On and operate the 120 Volt AC device.
To power Off, first power Off the 120 Volt AC device then press the inverter power
switch to the Off [ ] position.
CAUTION:
Only operate the 120 Volt AC device and inverter in a clear dry area.
CAUTION
: Provided with integral protection against overloads. Do not expose to
rain. To prevent fire, do not cover or obstruct ventilation openings. Do not mount in
zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result. Neutral floating. The output
of this device is not sinusoidal. It has a total harmonic distortion of 31 percent
and maximum single harmonic of 35 percent. This unit employs components
that tend to produce arcs or sparks – to prevent fire or explosion, do not install in
compartments containing batteries or flammable materials.
For continued protection against risk of fire, or electric shock, replace only with
same type and rating of fuse.
USB OPERATION
Prior to connecting any USB accessory to the USB port of this device, make sure the
accessory is Off [ ].
Using the interface cable included with the USB accessory to be powered or
charged, connect the accessory to the USB port (D) on the device.
Press the USB port power switch (B) to the On [
–
] position. (The device with built-in
battery will start charging automatically).
Turn On the accessory and use as normal.
UNIT BATTERY HAND GENERATOR OPERATION
Make sure device switches are in the Off position.
Place the unit in a dry, open, flat area with overhead cover.
Using either hand, securely grasp the device carrying handle (E). With the free
hand, securely grasp the hand generator pull-handle (F).
To generate unit battery crank charging, firmly pull-up on the hand generator pull-
handle while holding down the device. Allow the hand generator pull-handle cord
to retract back into the device housing, thereby completing one (1) generator
crank cycle.
Continue hand generator cranking cycles for a minimum period of 3 minutes. Hand
generator charge LED indicator will be flashing during operation.
The device internal battery will achieve a charging level adequate enough for one
(1) vehicle battery boost charge.
NOTE:
Do not exceed the hand generator pull-handle maximum cord length of
30 inches.
NOTE:
The device unit battery charge level will vary pending the device battery
status at time of crank charge. User may have to continue unit hand generator
crank cycles until the device unit battery reaches the charge level adequate for
jump starting (battery boosting) a vehicle.
