CAUTION:
Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate charger, which can be connected into this inverter AC
receptacle. However certain rechargeable devices are manufactured with built-in chargers (see device owner’s
manual). This category of devices may cause internal damage to inverters and should not be used with this inverter.
The temperature of the device must be monitored for the first 15 minutes of operation. Abnormally elevated
temperature of the device is an indication that they should not be used with this inverter.
STORAGE:
This unit may be stored in any position. Make sure the clamps are secure inside the booster cable storage covers.
Store at room temperature. If not used for a prolonged period of time, recharge every 2 months in the winter and
every month in the summer.
BATTERY STATUS:
• Press and hold the Battery Level Button.
• The Voltage Meter will show the battery level.
• 13~15 Volt: Ready to use.
• 12 Volt: Charge necessary
• Below 12 Volt: Charge immediately
CHARGING YOUR JUMPSTART SYSTEM
AC Charging At Home (230v)
1. Completely charge your Jumpstart before using for the first time.
2. Before recharging from an AC outlet, be sure the source is right. (i.e.110 volts or 230 volts)
3. Use only the chargers provided with unit.
4. Keep the power on/off safety switch in OFF position while charging.
5. Plug the AC charging cord into any standard wall outlet and the other end into the AC/DC charging input socket.
6. Full charge takes approximately 34 hours - Do not exceed recommended charging time 48 hours
DC Charging In Your Vehicle (12v)
1. Keep the power on/off safety switch in OFF position while charging.
2. Plug the DC charging cord into any 12 volt (cigarette lighter) outlet and the other end into the AC/DC charging
input socket.
3. Full charge takes approximately 12 hours
Do not exceed recommended charging time – initial charge 24 hours.
USING AIR COMPRESSOR
1. Open compartment door at the back of the power center and pull out air hose. Make sure nozzle lever is in
he UP position.
2. Attach the valve adapter to the valve stem of tires and push the valve adapter lever down to lock into place.
3. Turn compressor switch on front panel to ON position.
4. Monitor the pressure gauge while inflating.
5. When appropriate pressure has been reached, turn compressor OFF and disconnect hose.
Note:
It is recommended to use a separate air gauge to check the actual inflation pressure. When desired pressure
is reached, turn off compressor, turn the locking thumb lever to up position and remove stem connector from valve
stem. Also remove valve stem adapter if applicable.
USING 12 VOLT DC POWER PORT
1. Remove the protective cover.
2. Plug in your 12 volt accessory.
3. Turn power port switch to ON.
4. At full charge the power center will power B/W TV, spotlight for 4 hours, mini-cooler for 3 hours, portable vacuum,
coffee maker for 1 hour.
Time may vary depending upon current draw of attached accessory.
USING AC INVERTER
1. Prior to connecting inverter, maker sure the inverter switch in OFF position.
2. Prior to plugging in device, make sure the device is OFF and ensure the current drawn of this device
is max. 200 watt.
3. Connect the device electrical plug into the inverter receptacle.
4. Press the inverter to ON position. If the inverter is working properly, a green LED indicator will illuminate. Now turn
ON the device. If the green indicator remains on, then the system is operating properly. If the inverter green LED light
turns OFF, turn off the device then turn off the inverter immediately. See the trouble shooting guide. The inverter may
have been over loaded or the input voltage may be too low.
