Powering a 120V AC device
10.11
To operate a 120V AC device:
Ensure the battery clips are securely on the storage holders.
1.
Open the protective cover of the AC power outlet on the front panel of the Instant Power™.
2.
Make sure the 120V AC device to be operated is turned OFF.
3.
Plug the 120V AC device into the AC power outlet, and turn the Inverter Switch to the
4.
ON position.
Turn the device on.
5.
If the device does not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, push the
6.
inverter rocker switch ON, OFF, and ON again in quick succession. If this procedure
is not successful, it is likely that the inverter does not have the required capacity to
operate the device intended.
Charge the Instant Power™ as soon as possible after each use.
7.
RiSk OF ELECTRiC ShOCk.
Incorrect operation of your inverter may result in damage and personal injury.
The inverter output is 120V AC and can shock or electrocute the same as any
ordinary household AC wall outlet.
NOTE:
The maximum continuous load is 200 watts. Do not use the inverter
with a product that draws more than 200 watts, as this may cause damage to
the inverter and the product.

11.2
cords, and the Instant Power™ case.
Ensure that all of the Instant Power™ components are in place and in good working
11.3
condition, for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.

12.1
Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
12.2
Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped
12.3
to cables. The clips on the Instant Power™ are live and will produce arcing or sparking
if they come in contact with each other. To prevent accidental arcing, always keep the
clips on the storage holders when not using them to jump start a vehicle.
If the Instant Power™ is moved around the shop or transported to another location, take
12.4
care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and Instant Power™. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or property damage.
Do not use and/or store the Instant Power™ in or on any area or
surface where damage could occur if the internal battery should
unexpectedly leak acid.

•
Charge the Instant Power™ internal battery immediately after purchase, after every
use and every 30 days.
All batteries are affected by temperature. The ideal storage temperature is at 70°F. The
internal battery will gradually self-discharge (lose power) over time, especially in warm
environments. Leaving the battery in a discharged state may result in permanent battery
damage. To ensure satisfactory performance and avoid permanent damage, charge the
internal battery every month.
