Powering a 120v AC Device 8.11
To operate a 120V AC device:
Ensure that the battery clips are securely on the storage holders. 1.
Open the protective cover of the AC power outlet on the front panel of the jump starter. 2.
Make sure the 120V AC device to be operated is turned OFF. 3.
Plug the 120V AC device into the AC power outlet, and turn the Inverter/Compressor 4.
Switch to the INVERTER position.
Turn the device on.
5.
If the device does not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, push the 6.
inverter rocker switch ON, OFF, and ON again in quick succession. If this procedure
is not successful, it is likely that the inverter does not have the required capacity to
operate the device intended.

Incorrect operation of your inverter may result in damage and personal injury.
The inverter output is 120V AC and can shock or electrocute the same as any
ordinary household AC wall outlet.

where damage could occur if the internal battery should unexpectedly leak acid.
