Store in cool & dry place. If the unit is damaged by a heavy impact or it has been dropped, seek professional guidance from a qualified engineer before using again. If the external flexible cable or cord of the charger (or this jump starter) is damaged, it should be replaced by a qualified person. The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is disposed of. The battery must be disconnected from the supply mains when removing the battery. This device contains a sealed, non-spillable rechargeable lead acid battery and must be disposed of properly at the end of the product’s life. Contact your local authority for advice on the correct disposal/recycling procedure. When using the air compressor always monitor the pressure gauge during use. Be careful not to over-inflate objects.

CHARGING YOUR JUMP STARTER This unit has a maintenance free, built-in sealed rechargeable lead acid battery. Although the jump starter arrives partially charged from the factory, it must be fully charged for 55 hours before first use, even if the battery status lights indicate a “Full” charge This initial charge pre-conditions the battery and will provide optimum performance in the future. Failure to follow this procedure may permanently damage the battery.

When charging is complete, unplug the charger. Press the battery status button. The 10 LED indicator lights will stay illuminated indicating a full charge has been completed.

BUILT IN SOLAR PANEL - BATTERY TRICKLE CHARGER The solar panel will provide trickle charging which will assist in reducing over-discharging of the built in battery. Note: In order to achieve the maximum amount of solar charge energy, position the jump starter in a place that provides sufficient light.

JUMP STARTING WARNING: Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery is jump-started. Read your vehicle owner’s manual before attempting to start the vehicle to determine if external starting assistance can be used. Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage or explosion. Use safety glasses to protect eyes while jump-starting a battery. 1. Turn the vehicle ignition OFF. Turn off all your car’s accessories such as lights, radio, air conditioning, etc. to avoid further drain of the battery. 2. Engage the handbrake or for vehicles with automatic transmission engage the PARK position. 3. Make sure all switches on the jump starter are turned OFF. 4. Securely connect the Red (+) clamp to your vehicle battery’s positive (+) battery terminal. 5. Do not connect a clamp to the negative vehicle battery terminal. Connect the black (-) clamp to a non-moving, earthed metal part of the vehicle.
