CHARGING THE PRODUCT

The power pack is delivered partially charged. After initial purchase/prior to first use, make sure that the power pack is fully charged.

CHARGING WITH THE PLUG-IN CHARGER

Turn the on-off switch (position 1 in the overview) to the OFF position. Plug the coaxial power connector of the plug-in charger (position 13 in the overview) into the charging socket of the power pack (position 4 in the overview). Now plug the plug-in charger into the socket.
The control LED (position 5 in the overview) is now red. For the initial charging process, leave the power pack connected for 24 hours. For all subsequent charging processes or directly after use charge no longer than 20 hours. Once the battery is fully charged, the LED is green. After the charging process, first pull out the plugin charger from the socket and then unplug the coaxial power connector from the charging socket of the power pack. Now close the charging socket with the sealing plug. If you press the battery test switch now, the control LED is green.

CHARGING WITH THE 12V MOTOR VEHICLE CHARGING CABLE

Turn the on-off switch (position 1 in the overview) to the OFF position. Plug the coaxial power connector of the cigarette lighter charging cable (position 12 in the overview) into the charging socket of the power pack (position 6 in the overview). Now plug the 12V vehicle plug into the 12V socket of your vehicle. The control LED (position 5 in the overview) is now red. Charge the power pack for approx. 6 – 8 hours.

Only charge the power pack while driving or when the engine is running, otherwise there is a risk of discharging the starter battery of your vehicle.

Once the battery is fully charged, the LED is green. After the charging process, first pull out the 12V vehicle plug from the socket of your vehicle and then unplug the coaxial power connector from the charging socket of the power pack. Now close the charging socket with the sealing plug. If you press the battery test switch now, the control LED is green.

STARTER AID

Make sure that the power pack is fully charged. To do so, press the battery test switch (position 4 in the overview). Once the control LED is green (position 5 in the overview), the power pack is ready for use.

The starter aid function of the power pack is only for vehicles with 12 V onboard voltage. Before you start, read the operating instructions of your vehicle, if and how and external starter aid can be used. Modern vehicles have sensitive electronics and control devices that can be damaged when handled incorrectly.

CONNECTING THE PRODUCT

(VEHICLES WITH NEGATIVE EARTH)
Turn off the ignition of your vehicle as well as all electrical consumers (radio, light, rear window heating, seat heaters, etc.). Enable the parking brake.
Turn the on-off switch (position 1 in the overview) to the OFF position. First connect the red (+) terminal clamp (position 11 in the overview) to the positive terminal of your vehicle battery. Connect the black (-) terminal clamp (position 10 in the overview) as far away from the battery as possible to the engine block or chassis (no painted parts). If the power pack is properly connected, the reverse polarity protection view is lit green (position 2 in the overview). If this is not the case, the reverse polarity protection view is lit red and a warning signal is sounded. In this case, check the connection of the terminal clamps and correct it. Now turn the on-off switch to the ON position.

START ATTEMPT

Start the engine. Do not let the starter motor work longer than 6 s. The battery of the power pack is not suitable for longer start attempts. Between start attempts, take a break of at least 5 minutes. If the engine doesn't turn on after several attempts, discontinue using the starter aid and look for the cause of the malfunction.

REMOVING THE DEVICE

Now turn the on-off switch to the OFF position. First remove the black (-) terminal clamp, roll up the cable and fasten the terminal clamp to its designated holder. Then remove the red (+) terminal clamp, roll up the cable and fasten the terminal clamp to its designated holder.
Always adhere to this sequence.
Recharge the power pack.

COMPRESSOR

In order to be able to work with the compressor, first take the air hose (position 7 in the overview) out of the holder. To do so, you briefly have to remove the red (+) terminal clamp from its holder.

FILLING A TYRE WITH THE CAR VALVE / SCHRADER VALVE

Open the lock on the valve connector (Fig. 2)

Place the valve connector on the valve (Fig. 3)

Lock the valve connector (Fig. 4)

You can now start to inflate the tyre (Fig. 5)

To inflate, switch the compressor on with the on-off switch.
The manometer (position 9 in the overview) is used for the general inspection of the air pressure. Once you have reached the desired air pressure, switch off the compressor. Remove the valve connector in reverse order (figures 5 – 2).

During the filling process, always ensure that the air pressure is correct (refer to the operating instruction of your vehicle for this). The compressor can provide a pressure of up to 18 bar. There is a risk of explosion and injury if the pressure is too high.

Never let the compressor work longer than 10 minutes at a time as there is a risk of overheating. Switch the compressor off after 10 minutes and let if cool off before you put it back into operation.
Never let the compressor run unsupervised.

After filling a tyre, check the tyre pressure one more time with a separate air pressure gauge (e.g. at the petrol station, car workshop).

USE OF THE INCLUDED VALVE ADAPTERS

(Position 14 in the overview)
Fig. 6

1. Bicycle valve adapter (for Dunlop and Sclaverand valves)
2. Adapter for balls
3. Universal adapter for leisure articles (inflatable pool toys, etc.)

1. Bicycle valve adapter (for Dunlop and Sclaverand valves):
   For Sclaverand valves: Unscrew the knurled screw of the valve tappet and press it briefly down once. Screw the valve adapter with the knurled rim down onto to bicycle valve.
   Now connect the air hose to the bicycle valve adapter as shown on figures 2 – 5. Now you can fill the bicycle tyres by switching on the compressor. Once you have reached the desired air pressure, switch off the compressor. Remove the valve connector in reverse order (figures 5 – 2). Unscrew the bicycle valve adapter from the bicycle valve.
   For Sclaverand valves: Retighten the knurled screw of the valve tappet.
2. Adapter for balls
   Open the lock of the valve connection (figure 2). Place the adapter for balls in the valve connection. Lock the valve connection (figure 3). Place the adapter into the valve of the balls. Now you can inflate the ball by switching on the compressor. Once you have reached the desired air pressure, switch off the compressor. Remove the adapter from the valve connection by proceeding as described above in reverse order.
3. Universal adapter for leisure articles
   Open the lock of the valve connection (figure 2). Place the universal adapter in the valve connection. Lock the valve connection (figure 3). Place the universal adapter in the filling point of your leisure article. Depending on the mode, the universal adapter may have to be held while you are inflating the object. Now you can start inflating by switching on the compressor. Once you have reached the desired air pressure, switch off the compressor. Remove the adapter from the valve connection by proceeding as described above in reverse order.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE
Store the power pack at room temperature. If the power pack is not used for longer periods of time, recharge it in the winter every two months and once a month in the summer.

Changing the fuse on the 12 V car charger cable:
Turn the knurled screw at the tip of the 12V plug counter clockwise until it is disconnected from the plug and remove it. The fuse is released and can be pulled out from the plug. Replace it with a new fuse of the same strength and screw the knurled screw back into the plug.
Fuse 6.0 x 30 mm, F, 2 A, 250 V
