chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the clip to the
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal
body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
IMPORTANT:
If you have connected
the clips backwards, an audio alarm will
sound. Reverse the connections and the
audio alarm will stop.
8.
Crank the engine. If the engine does
not start within 5-8 seconds, stop
cranking and wait at least 1 minute
before attempting to start the vehicle
again. (This permits the Instant
Power’s battery to cool down.)
9.
After the engine starts, immediately
disconnect the clip from the vehicle
chassis and then remove the clip from
the battery terminal, in that order,
and clip them back onto the Instant
Power’s storage holders.
10.
Recharge the Instant Power as soon
as possible after use.
RISK OF EXPLOSION.
To prevent sparking, NEVER allow the
clips to touch together or to contact the
same piece of metal. Never attempt to
jump start a frozen battery.
8.2 Powering a 12V DC Device:
The Instant Power is a power source for
all 12V DC accessories that are equipped
with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power
outages and fishing or camping trips.
Make sure the device to be powered
is OFF before inserting the 12V DC
accessory plug into the 12V DC
accessory outlet.
1.
Ensure the battery clips are securely
on the storage holders.
NOTE:
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.
2.
Open the protective cover of the DC
power outlet on the back of the Instant
Power.
3.
Plug the 12V DC device into the DC
power outlet, and turn the 12V DC
device on (if required).
4.
If the 12V DC device draws more than
15A or has a short circuit, the internal
fuse of the Instant Power will blow and
disconnect the power to the device. If
this occurs, the fuse must be replaced
by a qualified service person. Unplug
the device. The blown fuse only
affects the 12V DC socket
IMPORTANT:
The DC power outlet is
wired directly to the internal battery.
Extended operation of a 12V DC device
may result in excessive battery drain.
Recharge immediately after unplugging
the 12V DC device.

9. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
9.1
After use and before performing
maintenance, unplug and disconnect the
Instant Power (see sections 3 and 4).
9.2
Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery
corrosion and other dirt or oil from the
battery clips, cords, and the Instant
Power’s case.
9.3
Ensure that all of the Instant Power’s
components are in place and in good
working condition, including the plastic
boots on the battery clips.
9.4
Servicing does not require opening the
unit, as there are no user-serviceable
parts. All servicing should be performed
by qualified service personnel.
10. MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
10.1
Store the Instant Power in an upright
position.
10.2
Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
10.3
Do not store the clips on the handle,
clipped together, on or around metal, or
clipped to cables. The clips on the Instant

each other. To prevent accidental arcing,
always keep the clips on the storage
holders when not using them to jump start
a vehicle.
