Congratulations
on selecting the Vector™ INDUSTRIAL SERIES™ 900 JUMPSTART SYSTEM & POWER SUP-
PLY.
Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to the unit or items
that you are using it with.
In addition to a built-in 12-volt power supply, the INDUSTRIAL 900™ JUMPSTART SYSTEM has several exclusive
features that set it apart from other similar devices. Primarily, it includes a special, built-in mounting (Patent Pending)
that allows for the simple, slide-in addition of a 110-volt AC power inverter (sold separately for Model VEC021;
included with Model VEC021AC). This will allow you to upgrade the basic unit to run 110-volt AC devices, while
still
maintaining the unit's one-piece, compact styling.
The INDUSTRIAL 900™ JUMPSTART SYSTEM is a convenient, easy-to-carry, completely portable system that is per-
fect for emergency situations and remote locations - when jumpstarting assistance or permanent utility power
sources are not available. It is also ideal for use with Vector™ 12-volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable products.
