• If the connections to the battery’s POSITIVE and NEGATIVE terminals are incorrect, the Reverse Polarity Indicator will light (red) and the
unit will sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are disconnected. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• Always disconnect the negative (Black) jumper cable first, followed by the positive (Red) jumper cable, except for positive grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with
heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 volt DC battery system. Do not connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt battery system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular battery. Do not attempt to operate a vehicle that does not have
a battery installed.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle’s starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts,
discontinue jump-start procedures and look for other problems that may need to be corrected.
• Do not use this jump-starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright during storage, use and recharging. To
avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPRESSORS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Never leave the compressor unattended while in use.
WARNING – BURSTING ARTICLES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY:
• Carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
• Never exceed recommended pressures. If no pressure is given, contact article manufacturer before inflating.
• Monitor the pressure at all times on the pressure gage.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Do not operate compressor continuously for longer than approximately 10 minutes, depending on ambient temperatures, as it may
overheat. In such event, compressor may automatically shut down. Turn off the Compressor Power Switch immediately and restart after a
cooling down period of approximately 30 minutes.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USB POWER PORT AND 12 VOLT ACCESSORY OUTLET
• Do not use this unit to operate appliances that need more than 5 amps to operate from the 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
• Do not insert foreign objects into either the USB outlet or the 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
FIRST AID
•
Skin:
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water for at least 10 minutes. If redness, pain, or
irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
•
Eyes:
If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately, for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

Emergency Jump-Starter with Compressor.
Read this Instruction Manual
and follow the instructions carefully before using this unit.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge
over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-
discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least every 30 days.
IMPORTANT:
If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery status LEDs illuminate as if the unit is fully charged when connected to
a charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit
charging for a period of 24-36 hours using the built-in AC charger before use.
Notes:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it upon purchase and before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should
be for 36 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
The battery can be recharged using either the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
CAUTION: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump
starting performance.
Charging/Recharging Using the 120 Volt AC Charger and a Standard Household Extension Cord (not
included)
1. Lift the AC charger cover located on the top right of the unit and connect an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the
cord into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
