Jump-Starter
This Jump-Starter is equipped with an ON/OFF Power Switch. Once the connections are properly made, turn the switch ON to
jump-start the vehicle.
1. Turn OFF vehicle ignition and all accessories (radio, A/C, lights, connected cell phone chargers, etc.). Place vehicle in "park"
and set the emergency brake.
2. Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch is turned to OFF.
3. Remove jumper clamps from clamp tabs. Connect the red clamp first, then the black clamp.
4. Procedure for jump-starting a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (negative battery terminal is connected to chassis) (MOST
COMMON)
4a. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle battery's positive terminal.
4b. Connect negative (–) black clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never clamp
directly to negative battery terminal or moving part.
5. Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS
Note: In the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded System (positive battery terminal is
connected to chassis), replace steps 4a and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.
5a. Connect negative (–) black clamp to vehicle battery's negative terminal.
5b. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never
clamp directly to Positive battery terminal or moving part.
6. When clamps are connected properly, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch to ON.
7. Turn ON the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until engine starts.
8. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch back to the OFF position.
9. Disconnect the negative (–) engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect the positive (+) battery clamp.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THIS MANUAL.
CAUTIONS: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE
• 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 beep. 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.
WARNINGS
• Jump-Starter Power Switch should be off prior to jump-starting.
• 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.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting this
type of vehicle, read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is advised.
• 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.
• After use, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch OFF.
• Replace worn or defective parts immediately — contact the Customer Service Department toll free 1-800-544-6986.
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.

EMERGENCY AREA LIGHT

The area light is controlled by the Area Light Power Switch on the front panel of the unit. Make sure the lamp is turned OFF
when the unit is being recharged or stored.
PORTABLE INFLATOR
The built-in 12 volt DC inflator is the ultimate inflator for all vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. Three different
sized nozzles are supplied. Each nozzle will clip on the end of the standard tire valve connector located at the free end of the
inflator hose. The inflator nozzles are stored inside the hose hatch. The inflator hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining
channel between the jumper cable channels on the rear of the unit. The ON/OFF Switch is located on the back of the Main Unit.
The inflator can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.
The inflator may be used by removing the air hose from the storage hatch and if required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the air
hose. An On/Off switch located on the back of the unit controls the power to the inflator and the gauge light. Refer to the
"Controls and Indicators" section on page 5 for locations of inflator hose and nozzle storage hatch. Return hose to the storage
compartment after use.

WARNING: BURST HAZARD
• The inflator is capable of inflating up to 120 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. To avoid over-inflation, carefully follow
instructions on articles to be inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures. Bursting articles can cause serious injury.
• Always check pressure with the pressure gauge.
• Never leave the inflator unattended while in use.
CAUTION: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE
Do not operate inflator continuously for extended periods of time (approximately 10 minutes, depending on ambient
temperatures), as it may overheat. In such event, inflator will automatically shut down. Immediately turn OFF the Inflator Power
Switch. Restart after a cooling down period of approximately 10 minutes.
Inflating Tires or Products With Valve Stems
1. Place connector (chuck) on valve stem.
2. Ensure connector is pushed on to valve stem as far as possible before closing thumb latch.
3. Make sure latch is secure.
4. Turn ON the Inflator Power Switch.
5. Check pressure with the pressure gauge.
6. When desired pressure is reached, open thumb latch and remove connector from valve stem.
7. Turn OFF Inflator Power Switch.
8. Allow unit to cool before storing away.
9. Store inflator hose and tire fitting in storage compartment.
Inflating Other Inflatables Without Valve Stems
Inflation of other items requires use of one of the adapters (nozzles).
1. Select the appropriate nozzle, located on the inside back cover.
2. Insert appropriate adapter (i.e. needle) into connector (chuck) and close thumb latch.
3. Small items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly.
