2. Insert appropriate adapter (i.e. needle) into connector (chuck) and close thumb
latch.
3. Refer to “Typical Inflation Times” for approximate pressure and time. Small
items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly.
4. Insert adapter (i.e., needle) into item to inflate to appropriate pressure.
5. Turn ON the Inflator Power Switch — inflate to desired pressure or fullness.
6. Remove adapter.

Push the USB Power Switch to the ON position and plug the USB-powered device into
the jump-starter’s USB Power Port and operate normally. The green USB LED Indicator
lights up to indicate that it is working.
Notes: This USB Power Port does not support data communication. It only provides
5 volts/500mA (maximum) DC power to an external USB-powered device.
Push the USB Power Switch to the OFF position when not in use. The green USB
LED will turn OFF.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This product has a sealed lead acid battery that should be kept fully charged.
Recharge before first use, immediately after each use, and once a month if not used
within that period. Failure to do this may reduce the battery life dramatically.
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using
it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 48 hours.

CAUTIONS
• If the audible Reverse Connection Polarity Alarm sounds after clamps are connected
to vehicle battery, reverse clamp connections.
• If vehicle fails to start, turn OFF the ignition, turn OFF the Jump-Starter Power Switch,
disconnect the jump-start system’s leads and investigate why the engine did not start.
• Recharge this unit fully after each use.
USING THE 12 VOLT DC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
This portable power source is also for use with all 12 volt DC accessories equipped
with a male accessory outlet plug and are rated up to 5 amps.
1. Lift up the cover of the unit ‘s 12 volt DC outlet.
2. Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance into the 12 volt DC accessory
outlet on the unit. DO NOT EXCEED A 5 AMP LOAD.
3. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
4. Periodically press the Battery Charge Level Pushbutton to check battery status.
USING THE EMERGENCY AREA LIGHT
The area light is controlled by the Area Light Power Switch on the front panel of the
unit (see Control and Function Guide). Make sure the lamp is turned OFF when the
unit is being recharged or stored.
USING THE PORTABLE INFLATOR
The built-in 12 volt DC inflator is the ultimate inflator for all vehicle tires, trailer tires
and recreational inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied. Each nozzle
will clip on the end of the standard tire valve connector located at the free end of
the inflator hose. The inflator hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel
between the jumper cable channels on the rear of the unit. The ON/OFF Switch is
located on the back of the Main Unit. The inflator can operate long enough to fill
up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.
The inflator may be used by removing the air hose from the storage hatch and if
required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the air hose. An On/Off switch located
on the back of the unit controls the power to the inflator and the gauge light. Refer
to the Control and Function Guide for location of the inflator hose. Return hose to
the storage compartment after use.
WARNINGS
• The inflator is capable of inflating up to 260 pounds per square inch
(psi) pressure. To avoid over-inflation, carefully follow instructions
on articles to be inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures.
Bursting articles can cause serious injury.
• Always check pressure with the pressure gauge.
• Never leave the inflator unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not operate inflator continuously for extended periods of time
