USING THE EMERGENCY AREA LIGHT
The Area Light is controlled by an ON/OFF pushbutton. Make sure the light is turned
OFF when the unit is being recharged or stored.
USING THE TIRE INFLATOR
Read Instructions Carefully to Avoid Possible Injury or Property
Damage.
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
clips on the end of the standard tire valve connector attached to 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 front of the 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 the appropriate nozzle to the
air hose. Return the hose to the storage compartment after use.
Note: Thermo-protection device shuts down the unit when the unit overheats and
restarts once the unit has reached a safe operating temperature.
WARNING
The inflator is capable of inflating up to 120 pounds per square inch
(psi) pressure. To avoid over inflating, carefully follow instructions on
articles to be inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures. Always
check pressure with the pressure gauge. Never leave the inflator
unattended while in use. Bursting articles can cause serious injury.
CAUTION
Do not operate inflator continuously for extended periods of time
(approx. 15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature), as it
may overheat. In such event, inflator will shut down and restart after a
cooling period of approximately 15 minutes.
Inflating Products With a Valve Stem
1. Place standard connector (chuck) on valve stem.
2. Push connector toward valve stem and close thumb latch.
Note: Make sure connector is pushed onto valve stem as far as possible
before closing thumb latch.
3. Slide inflator switch to ON.
4. Check pressure with the pressure gauge.
5. When desired pressure is reached, slide the inflator switch to OFF; open thumb
latch and remove connector from valve stem.
6. Store inflator hose and tire fitting in storage compartment.

USING THE 120 VOLT AC POWER SUPPLY
The 120 Volt AC Power Supply is designed for maintaining today's modern lifestyle
while traveling in vans, RVs, automobiles, trucks, or vehicles that have a 12 volt DC
battery power supply and a means to recharge those batteries. The Electromate
™
Plus 300 comes with:
1. AC ON/OFF Switch — Slide switch to turn the AC Power Supply ON and OFF.
2. 120 Volt AC Power Outlets
3. AC Power Supply “ON” Status Indicator — green LED lights when AC outlet is
turned on; green LED flashes on and off when faulted.
4. AC Power Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) — a 3-prong outlet for 120 volt
AC appliances which shuts down inverter if leakage or ground fault current is
detected.
5. Internal protective circuits including:
• Overload and over-temperature shutdown (activated if AC output exceeds 300
watts)
• AC short-circuit shutdown
• Low voltage shutdown
• A new cooling technology that more efficiently cools the power transistors and,
combined with soft start, dramatically increases reliability and product life
AC Power Supply Controls and Indicators
The illustration below details the AC Power Supply front panel. Air vents keep the unit
from overheating. An ON/OFF switch turns the AC power circuitry on and off. The
ON/OFF switch can also be used to reset the AC power after shutdown due to
overvoltage, overload or over-temperature condition. The “ON” status indicator lights
when the AC power supply is on. The AC outlets (covered when not in use) supply
power to AC appliances.

AC Power Supply Operation
1. Turn power switch to ON (the power indicator lights).
2. Plug in appliance and turn the appliance on.
Note: The AC power supply shuts down automatically when the battery voltage level
is too low. If the green LED flashes, a faulty condition such as an overload,
overheating or short circuiting has occurred. Turn the AC Power Supply OFF and
unplug the appliance. Wait a few minutes, then turn power back ON.
