IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT’S BEING CHARGED, PLEASE WAIT FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR TO LET THE HYDROGEN GAS VOLATILIZE COMPLETELY BEFORE USE. CAUTIONS 1. TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE THAT MAY SHORTEN THE UNIT’S WORKING LIFE, PROTECT THIS UNIT FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT, DIRECT HEAT AND/OR MOISTURE. 2. THIS SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO BE USED ONLY ON VEHICLES OR BOATS WITH 12-VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. 3. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A VEHICLE’S BATTERY. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR NEW JUMPER STARTER: RECHARGING 1. For maximum battery life, we recommend that your power pack be kept fully charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state. Battery life may be shortened. Table shows the relationship of the frequency of use between recharging and the expected number of charge/recharge cycles. TABLE 1 - BATTERY LIFE Number of jump-starts between recharging Discharge and recharge cycles 1 1000+ 5 700+ 10 500+ 2. Recharging. The time required to fully recharge your power pack after jump-starting and engine is a function of how many jump-starts are performed between recharging sessions. Table 2 shows the approximate recharging times you can expect. TABLE 2 - RECHARGING TIME VS. JUMP-STARTS Number of jump-starts Recharging time Number of jump-starts Recharging time (in hours) (in hours) 1 8.5 4 33.5 2 16.5 5 41.5 3 25 6 50 3. We recommend that you check the charge in your power pack by depressing the red push-button switch. The indicators will show the battery charge. 240V AC ADAPTOR / CHARGER CHARGING: Plug the 240v ac adaptor/charger into a 240v ac power outlet and put the other (output dc 12v) end into the receptacle on the front panel of your power panel until the battery meter shows full. • Charging time: approx. 50 hours by 240v ac 12v 500ma adaptor 12V DC CIGARETTE LIGHTER PLUG CHARGING: Insert the cigarette lighter plug of the 12v dc/dc adaptor/charger (no. 8, see parts identification) into a 12v dc cigarette lighter receptacle (on your vehicle or boat) and put the other (output) end into the receptacle on the front panel of your power pack until the battery meter shows full (13v). WARNING FOR HOW TO MAINTAIN BATTERY LIFE You must recharge the battery every 3 months or immediately when the red low voltage warning indicator flashing or low voltage warning buzzer beeps. Operation To use your power pack as a 12v dc power source: 1. Lift up the cover of the 12v dc cigarette lighter receptacle. (see no. 1 of parts identification) 2. Insert the 12v dc cigarette lighter plug from the appliance into the 12v dc cigarette lighter receptacle on the front of your jump starter. The following table will give you an idea of what operation time you can expect when starting from a fully charged system APPLIANCE TYPE ESTIMATED POWER ESTIMATED CONSUMPTION USAGE TIME (IN WATTS) (IN HOURS) FLUORESCENT LIGHTS, CELL PHONES 4 30 RADIOS, FANS, DEPTH FINDERS 9 13 CAMCORDERS, VCR’S SPOTLIGHTS 15 8 ELECTRIC TOOLS, BILGE PUMPS 24 5 ELECTRIC COOLERS 48 2.5 AIR COMPRESSORS, CAR VACUUMS 80 1.5 JUMP STARTING For optimum performance, when using your power pack to jump start a vehicle or boat, please read and follow these step-by-step instructions: 1. Switch the engine of the vehicle or boat to be jump-started to “0ff” 2. Connect the red (+) “alligator” clamp to the red (+) positive battery terminal of the vehicle or boat 3. Connect the black (-) “alligator” clamp to a non-moving metal part of the engine, not to the (-) negative battery terminal. 4. Switch the vehicle or boat ignition to “on”. 5. Wait a minute or two. 6. Switch the vehicle or boat engine ignition to “start” for no more than 5 to 6 seconds. 7. If the vehicle or boat engine does not start, wait at lease 3-minutes before trying again. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ALLOW THE RED AND BLACK CLAMPS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER OR A COMMON CONDUCTOR 1. Once the engine is running, disconnect the black (-) clamp first and return this cable to its stored position on the power pack. 2. Disconnect the red (+) clamp and return this cable to its stored position on the power pack. 3. As soon as possible, connect your power pack system to the 240v ac charger and recharge. BATTERY REPLACEMENT SPECIFICATION: 12V 17Ah sealed lead acid non-spill able maintenance free rechargeable battery 1. Unscrew and remove the eight (8) cross-headed screws at the back of your power pack. 2. Lift off the cover plate to expose the battery compartment. 3. Unscrew the two (2) cross-headed screws at the top of the battery. 4. Lift the battery out of the battery compartment. CAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE THAT MAY SHORTEN THE UNIT’S WORKING LIFE. ENSURE THAT THE RED AND BLACK RECHARGING WIRES STAY WITH THEIR JUMPER CABLES AND ARE NOT SWITCHED. 5. Detach cables and the red and black recharging wires from the battery terminals. 6. Ensure that the replacement battery is oriented with the label out. 7. Ensure that the red cable and red recharging wire are attached to the positive (+) battery terminal. (also marked with red). Attach cables and the recharging wires to the battery terminals. 8. Taking care not to damage the circuit board, slide the new battery in position. BATTERY DISPOSAL The lead acid battery contained in the power pack jump start system should be recycled once it has expired. Some states require recycling. Please contact your local solid waste authority for recycling information. WARNING: do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in an explosion. WARNING: before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire). Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode. NOTE: SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGNS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OF OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER. 2 3 4 5 6 240V Charger Adaptor Pigure (right) Shows a back view of your power pack with the cover and eight (8) screws removed. To replace the battery follow these steps. When the jump starter on/off switch is at off position, if you connect the jump starter to the battery in the wrong polarity (reverse polarity), the jump starter warning buzzer will sound to remind you. And you should never turn the jump starter on/off switch to on position until wrong connection have been corrected! *Wait at least 1 hour after charging before using Jump starter *Do not operate or store near flammable goods or combustables
