Page 3: Warning Information
WARNING technician complete any service work. Fire Hazard. Never allow the jumpstart’s red and black cable clamps to touch each other or a common metal conductor. WARNING Such contact could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard. Fire Hazard. Connect red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal. The black clamp should be attached to the engine block of stalled vehicle. Do not connect black clamp to the WARNING negative (-) battery terminal. Doing so could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard. Fire Hazard. Do not try to jumpstart a battery for more than six seconds. Before repeating the jump starting cycle, allow the WARNING unit to cool for three minutes. Risk of fire, explosion, or burns. The jumpstarting cable connection has enough energy to cause a spark, create an explosion hazard or cause burns if a metal object contacts both WARNING terminals. Do not turn on the jumpstarting function without having cables properly attached to the vehicle’s battery. PS5000M Owners Manual Page 030907... - Page 4 Risk of personal injury or damage to equipment: Do not exceed recommended air pressure of object being inflated. WARNING Do not exceed a pressure of 140 PSI. Caution: Contains a sealed lead acid battery. Keep dry. Do not drop. Do not charge battery if frozen. See owners guide CAUTION for proper charging procedures. Dispose of battery according to local regulations. Warning: The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal. WARNING Do not use the inverter with the following equipment: - Small battery-operated products such as rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and night-lights that are plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge. - Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in powered-hand tools. These chargers will have warning labels stating that dangerous voltages are present at the charger’s battery terminals. If you are uncertain that non-sinusoidal power will cause damage to an item, check with the item’s manufacturer before using with the AC inverter. PS5000M Owners Manual Page 030907...

Charging the PS5000M before initial use Your PS5000M will need to be charged until the Green Full Charge LED illuminates before initial use. The initial charge could take up to 72 hours. Do not use the PS5000M as a power source while recharging. CAUTION Use the following step-by step guide to recharging your unit. Standard Recharging of the PS5000M We recommend leaving the AC charger connected to a 120V AC outlet when the PS5000M is not in use to obtain maximum battery life. To recharge the PowerStation internal battery using AC power: 1. Ensure that all elements of the unit are off and that nothing is connected to the 12V DC outlet. 2. Plug the AC charger cable into a standard wall AC outlet. 3. Plug the AC charger cable into the AC charger access point on the unit. At this time the red “Battery Charging” indicator will illuminate. 4. Allow unit to charge until the red “Battery Charging” indicator turns off and the green “Full Charge” indicator is illuminated. Note: The PS5000M can stay connected to a 120V power source and will charge automatically. -
Page 10: Dc Recharging Of The Ps5000M
To Recharge using a 12V DC power source: (Do not exceed 2 hours) Note: Only use the DC charging option when an AC power source is not available. 1. Insert the DC charging cord into the cigarette lighter receptacle on the boat or vehicle. 2. Insert the other end of the DC charging cord into either one of the 12V DC power outlets on the side of the unit. Note: The jumpstart on/off switch can be left in the off position. It is possible to over charge the battery when re-charging using the DC outlet. Over charging the battery can cause permanent CAUTION damage and decrease battery performance. Only charge using DC supply if a 120V AC outlet is not available. Figure 4 V. 12V DC to DC cable O. 12V DC outlet W. Location of cooling vents PS5000M Owners Manual Page 030907... -

Fire Hazard. Never allow the jumpstart’s red and black cable clamps to touch each other or a common metal conductor. WARNING Such contact could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard. Fire Hazard. Connect red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal. The black clamp should be attached to the engine block or other non-moving metal part of stalled vehicle. Do not WARNING connect black clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal. Doing so could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/ explosion hazard. Fire Hazard. Do not try to jumpstart a battery for more than six seconds. Allow the unit to cool for three minutes after each six WARNING second jumpstart. Risk of Fire, explosion, or burns. The jumpstarting cable connection has enough energy to cause a spark, create an explosion hazard, or cause burns if a metal object contacts WARNING both terminals.

Page 13: Using The Integrated Work Lamp
To use the integrated work lamp, simply press the work lamp power button located directly above the work lamp (see Figure 2 on page 5 for location J). Using the compressor The air compressor in the PS5000M is designed as a convenient portable inflation device. After ten minutes of continuous use, turn off the compressor and allow it to cool for ten minutes. Continue use, if necessary, following this ten minutes on / ten minutes off cycle (see Figure 1 on page 5 for location I). Allowing the compressor to run in excess of 10 minutes can result in permanent damage to the compressor, jump start unit, property or personal injury. Make sure the compressor WARNING ventilation slots are free of debris and air can circulate around the compressor motor while in use. Inflating a tire or object using the compressor 1. Secure the inflator nozzle to the valve stem using the thumb latch. 2. Switch on the compressor via the switch on the front of the PS5000M (see Figure 1 on page 5 for location D). 3. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the PS5000M, once desired psi is reached remove the valve connector by releasing the thumb latch. 4. Turn off compressor via the switch on the front of the PS5000M . PS5000M Owners Manual Page 030907... -
Page 14: Inflating Other Objects
Note: If the maximum pressure of the item being inflated is not known, then allow the compressor to run only until the desired fullness is reached. Overinflating an item could result in damage to the PS5000M or the item being inflated. Never leave the compressor running unattended. - Page 15 Portable stereo/ CD player Laptop Computer Table lamp 13" Color TV 3/8" Drill 190 Typical 110V AC appliances used with portable power units. Note: Operating times assume a completely charged PS5000M battery. Actual operating times may vary according to appliance specifications, level of use, outside temperature, and other environmental variables. Some appliances are considered high surge appliances. All wattage ratings are averages. Products such as televisions and devices with motors consume power on a varying basis, often consuming a larger wattage when first turned on or when operated in certain modes. Please be aware that the PS5000M is rated at 320 watts of continuous power with a surge capacity of 800 watts. Some appliances rated under this threshold may actually consume more than 320 Watts, thereby triggering the safety overload shutdown circuit.
