12 VOLT DC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
This portable power source is also for use with all 12 volt DC accessories equipped with a male accessory outlet plug and are rated up to
5 amps.
1. Lift up the cover of the unit ‘s 12 volt DC outlet.
2. Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance into the 12 volt accessory outlet on the unit. DO NOT EXCEED A 5 AMP LOAD.
3. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
4. Periodically press the battery charge level pushbutton to check battery status. (When all three battery status indicators light, it
indicates a full battery. When only one red battery status indicator lights, it indicates that the unit needs to be recharged.)
AREA LIGHT
The area light is controlled by the Area Light Power Button on top of the light. Make sure the area light is turned off when the unit is
being recharged or stored.
Periodically press the battery charge level pushbutton to check battery status. (When all three battery status indicators light, it indicates a
full battery. When only one red battery status indicator lights, it indicates that the unit needs to be recharged.)
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use, we
recommend that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.
Never submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild
solution of water and detergent.
There are no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors and wires. Contact manufacturer to replace
any components that have become worn or broken.
Battery replacement/disposal
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery should last the service life of the unit. Service life is dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to the
number of recharge cycles, and proper care and maintenance of the battery by the end user. Contact manufacturer for any information
you may need.
SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL
Contains a maintenance-free, sealed, non-spillable, lead acid battery, which must be disposed of properly. Recycling is
required. Contact your local waste management authority to dispose of this product. Failure to comply with local, state
and federal regulations can result in fines, or imprisonment.
PLEASE
RECYCLE
WARNINGS:
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in an explosion.
• Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in
injury or fire).
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.
12 volt DC charger plug fuse replacement
The fuse in the plug end of the 12 volt DC charger protects the adapter’s charging circuit. If the 120 volt AC charger operates, but the DC
charging adapter does not, then this fuse may be opened (blown).
TO REPLACE THE FUSE:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).
2. Remove spring center contact and fuse.
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4. If blown, locate a replacement 8 amp fuse.
5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.
6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight – DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
7. Test for proper operation of the 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Unit Not Charging
• Make sure all of the unit’s functions are turned off.
• Check that the charger is properly connected to the 12 volt DC charging port and a live 120 volt AC outlet.
or
• Make sure the 12 volt DC charging adapter is properly connected to both the unit and a functioning DC power source.
Unit Fails to Jump-Start
• Make sure unit’s power switch is in the on position.
• Make sure a proper polarity cable connection has been established.
• Check that jump-starter has a full charge. Recharge unit if necessary.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
•
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THE “Specific safety instructions for jump starters” section of this
instruction manual.
• This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles with 12-volt DC battery systems.
• Never touch red and black clamps together — this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• After use, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch off.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle‘s starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts,
discontinue jump-start procedure and look for other problems that need to be corrected.
• If the connections to the battery’s positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the reverse polarity indicator will light and the unit will
sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are disconnected. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• If vehicle fails to start, turn off the ignition, turn off the jump-starter power switch, disconnect the jump-start system’s leads and contact
a qualified technician to investigate why the engine did not start.
• Recharge this unit fully after each use.
PORTABLE COMPRESSOR
The built-in 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. The compressor
hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel on the back of the unit. The On/Off Switch is located on the rear of the unit under
the air pressure gauge. The compressor can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.
The compressor may be used by removing the air hose from the storage compartment and if required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the
air hose. Return hose to the storage compartment after use.
Inflating Tires or Products With Valve Stems
1. Screw the SureFit™ nozzle connector onto the valve stem. Do not overtighten.
2. Turn on the Compressor Power Switch.
3. Check pressure with the pressure gauge.
4. When desired pressure is reached, turn off the Compressor Power Switch.
5. Unscrew and remove the SureFit™ nozzle connector from the valve stem.
6. Allow the unit to cool before storing away.
7. Store the compressor hose and nozzle in the storage compartment.
Inflating Other Inflatables Without Valve Stems
Inflation of other items requires use of one of the nozzle adapters.
1. Select the appropriate nozzle adapter (i.e, needle).
2. Screw the adapter into the SureFit™ nozzle connector. Do not overtighten.
3. Insert the adapter into item to be inflated.
4. Turn on the Compressor Power Switch — inflate to desired pressure or fullness.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Small items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly. Do not over-inflate.
5. When desired pressure is reached, turn off the Compressor Power Switch.
6. Disconnect the adapter from the inflated item.
7. Unscrew and remove the adapter from the SureFit™ nozzle connector.
8. Allow the unit to cool before storing away.
9. Store the compressor hose, nozzle and adapter in the storage compartment.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
•
Follow all safety instructions found in the “Specific Safety Instructions For Compressors” section of this instruction
manual.
• Recharge this unit fully after each use
USB POWER PORT
1. Press the USB Power Button to turn the USB Port on and the USB power indicator will light.
2. Lift up the cover of the USB Charging Port.
3. Plug the USB-powered device into the USB Charging Port and operate normally.
4. Periodically press the battery charge level pushbutton to check battery status. (When all three battery status indicators light, it
indicates a full battery. When only one red battery status indicator lights, it indicates that the unit needs to be recharged.)
