• If the cables of the jump starter are not long enough to reach the positive
connector on the battery, and a suitable negative connection point, the
negative cable can be extended using a cable from a standard jump
cable set. Do not extend the length of the positive cable from the jump
starter
• This jump starter will only be effective when the vehicle’s engine and
related systems are functioning normally and the vehicle’s battery is in a
serviceable but partly discharged state
• It is not possible to jump start a car by connecting the jump starter to a
car cigarette lighter socket in the car. The cable provided cannot be used
for that purpose
• Once the jump starter has been used to start a vehicle, it may be
necessary to charge the jump starter while driving, to ensure the jump
starter is available to start the vehicle again should any further battery
issues occur
• Ensure your battery and charging system is checked if starting is a
regular problem
• The size of vehicle the jump starter can start varies depending on the
existing charge in the vehicle’s battery. A very low charge will limit the
size of vehicle the jump starter can start. As an approximate guide the
product should support petrol engines up to 2800cc and diesel engines
up to 2200cc
1. Ensure that all vehicle accessory systems (headlights, radio, etc) are
switched off
2. Ensure the vehicle is in neutral and the parking brake is applied
3. Establish which vehicle battery connector is positive and which is
negative. The vehicle’s own battery will show ‘+’ and ‘-‘ alongside
the corresponding battery terminal. The cable attached to the positive
terminal may be coloured red, or could have a red marking to indicate
it is positive. If in doubt of the polarity, consult a vehicle technician
4. If the positive battery terminal connector in the vehicle is corroded or
dirty, clean it with a suitable wire brush to ensure good contact with
the jump starter clamp
5. Check all power switches (1)+(2)+(3)+(5)+(13) are in the ‘OFF’
position.
6. First attach the (red) Positive Clamp (8) to the positive connector
attached to the positive battery terminal of the vehicle’s battery,
making sure it is secure and cannot short against any other metal part
in the vehicle
7. Attach the (black) Negative Clamp (9) to an unpainted and unmoving
part of the chassis or engine block - not the negative terminal of the
battery. If you attach to the negative terminal there is a small risk of
explosive gases from the battery being ignited so a suitable negative
earthing point away from the battery is required. Do not connect the
clamp to any part of the vehicle’s fuel system as any leaked fuel could
be ignited by a spark
8. Check the clamps are securely attached, and that they will not come
loose when the vehicle is started.
9. Allow 1-2 minutes for the battery charge to stabilise between the jump
starter and vehicle battery
10.The jump starter should now be ready to start the engine. Run the
starter motor in short bursts (not more than 5 seconds). If the engine
does not start, allow approximately 2 minutes for the batteries to
recover, then repeat
11.Once the engine is running wait 2 minutes then first remove the
Negative Clamp (9) and then the Positive Clamp (8) taking care to
avoid contact with any moving or hot engine parts. It is important to
return the clamps to their normal storage positions at the side of the
jump starter after use.
Other Features
Note: The Power Switch (5) controls the main power connection to the 12V
cigarette lighter sockets, compressor and lights, each of which also have
their own individual power switch. It does not control power to the 12V jump
starter clamps (which are permanently live) or the inverter circuit. Always
make sure all power switches are off when unattended
12V Cigarette Lighter Sockets
• Devices with 12V cables fitted with cigarette lighter type plugs can be
connected to the 12V Cigarette Lighter Sockets (7)
• Lift the rubber dust cover and push the plug of the device’s cable into
one of the sockets
• Move the Power Switch (5) and 12V Power Switch (1) to the ‘ON’ position.
The sockets are now ready to be used
• Always return both switches to the ‘OFF’ position when you have finished
using the device
Air compressor
This jump starter is equipped with an on-board air compressor that
is suitable for inflating tyres and other items. Always refer to the
manufacturers recommended inflation pressures, and do not over-inflate.
1. To use the compressor, withdraw the Compressed Air Line (17) from
the compartment in the rear of the jump starter
2. Fit the valve connector of the compressed air line over the valve of the
tyre and move the lever of the valve connector to secure in position
3. Move the Power Switch (5) and Compressor Switch (2) to the ‘ON’
position. The compressor will then start
4. Monitor the Air Pressure Gauge (11) as the tyre inflates. Control the
compressor as required using the compressor switch
5. Turn off the compressor switch and power switch after use
6. Return the compressed air line to the rear compartment of the jump
starter to protect from damage
Notes:
• Do not allow the compressor to operate unattended
• Do not run the compressor continuously for more than 5 minutes at a
time. Allow 5 minutes’ cooling time in between applications
• Two supplied adaptors are stored in the rear compartment. These allow
inflation of footballs, air beds and other items
• Use the Pressure Gauge (11) as an approximate guide to pressure level. If
a specific pressure level is required, use a calibrated pressure gauge
Work light
This jump starter is equipped with Work Lights (12) which are ideal for
using in combination with other features of this unit. During jump starting
remember to turn these off so the maximum current is available for
assisting the vehicle’s own battery
• To operate the work lights, move the Power Switch (5) and Work Light
Switch (3), to the ‘ON’ position and reverse to switch ‘OFF’
Inverter
This jump starter is equipped with a 230V AC 150W inverter. This allows low
wattage 230V devices to be powered by the jump starter.
• To use the inverter, move the Inverter Switch (13), to the ‘ON’ position.
The 230V Output Socket (15) will now be live
• Plug the mains-powered device into the output Socket and switch on
• Always return the inverter switch to the ‘OFF’ position after use
Notes:
• The Inverter Indicators (14) show the status of the Inverter when running.
The green LED marked ‘AC Normal’ means the inverter is working
normally and the red LED marked ‘Protect’ shows the inverter either
cannot power the device or there is a fault
• If the device you wish to use has a 12V cable suitable for a car cigarette
socket, it is recommended you use that cable instead with either of the
12V Cigarette Lighter Sockets (7). This will make more efficient use of
power and will run for longer
• Some devices may have a peak consumption that exceeds 150W when
initially started, even if their overall power consumption is below 150W.
These may not work due to the initial peak consumption
