JUMP STARTER/POWER SOURCE/ AIR COMPRESSOR
JUMP STARTER/POWER SOURCE/
AIR COMPRESSOR
Thank you for purchasing the best jump starter unit on the market. Your unit has been equipped with
special features to make the jump starting process easier. To ensure trouble-free use, please remember to
recharge the unit for 24 hours at least every 3 months during the winter, and monthly during the summer.
Charge the unit for 24 hours through the built-in charger upon opening the box,
charge after every use and charge before extended storage.
Pb
CONTAINS SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERY.
BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED.
Failure to follow instructions may cause damage or explosion, always shield eyes.
Read entire instruction manual before use.
WARNING Safety Information
General precautions for use: Never work alone with electrical equipment. Make sure that someone is around to
give assistance if you need help. Always store, use, and charge the Jump-N-Carry
�
in an area where children cannot
get to the unit. The charger uses household 110/120 Volt electrical supply, which if misused, may
cause injury or fire. Use the Jump-N-Carry
�
to charge/jump start lead-acid batteries only. Do not use the
unit to recharge dry cell batteries. Remove jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working
around a battery. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current, which can
melt metals and result in a severe burn. Do not drop tools or other metal objects on or near the battery as a spark may result,
igniting explosive gases. Never jump start or attempt to recharge a frozen battery.
WARNING
Read these instructions completely before using the Jump-N-Carry
�
and save them for
future reference. Before using the Jump-N-Carry
�
to jump start a car, truck, boat or to
power any equipment, read these instructions and the instruction manual/safety
information provided by the car, truck, boat or equipment manufacturer. Following all
manufacturers instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release
explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read and
follow these instructions for safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in this
manual and on the Jump-N-Carry
�
each time you jump start using the Jump-N-Carry
�
.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently
explode in the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette
lighter while near batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing
because static electricity sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all
cautionary material on the Jump-N-Carry
�
and in the engine compartment.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment
when working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around
lead-acid batteries.
Always store clamps in their holsters, away from each other or common conductors.
Improper storage of clamps may cause the clamps to come in contact with each other, or
a common conductor, causing the battery to short circuit and generate high enough heat
to ignite most materials.
Never touch the air compressor or fittings connected to the air compressor, with bare
hands during or immediately after usage. It will become very hot during and after use, if
necessary, wear heat resistant gloves.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts
may cause severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's
Owner's Manual.
While the battery in the Jump-N-Carry
�
is a sealed unit with no free liquid acid, batteries
being charged with the Jump-N-Carry
�
unit likely contain liquid acids which are
hazardous if spilled. Jump Starting Instructions
1. Use in a well ventilated area. Shield eyes with safety glasses or goggles.
2. Turn off the ignition before making cable connections.
NOTE: A good, solid and clean connection is essential for a successful jump start
(see Performance and Temperature section).
3. Taking care to never touch the clamps together, first remove the RED POS (+)
clamp from its holster and connect it to the RED POS (+) battery terminal. Then
remove the BLACK NEG () clamp from its holster and connect it to the engine
ground, or a non-moving metal engine part. Never connect to the fuel line, fuel
injector or carburator as the engine ground.
NOTE: Many vehicles feature alternate starting points, away from the battery.
Always use the alternate starting points whenever available.
CAUTION: Stay clear of batteries while jump starting.
4. After jump starting, disconnect the BLACK NEG () clamp first, then disconnect
the RED POS (+) clamp.
5. Always return the clamps to their holsters after use. Never attach the clamps to the
handle of the Jump-N-Carry
�
.
6. After use, recharge the Jump-N-Carry
�
(see Recharging Jump-N-Carry
�
section).
When jump starting, do not use the unit for more than 6 seconds without a 3 minute rest
period between use. See the Warranty for important details.
To ensure trouble-free use, please remember to recharge the unit for 24 hours at least
once every 3 months during the winter, and monthly during the summer (see
Recharging Jump-N-Carry
�
section).
Air Compressor Instructions
1. Remove valve stem cap and connect compressor hose to the valve stem.
2. Turn on the air compressor and use the gauge to monitor the tire's pressure.
3. Once the tire has reached the appropriate PSI (noted on the tire or in the Owner's
Manual), turn off the compressor.
4. Disconnect the compressor hose and return to storage clip. It is always good
practice to test the tire pressure with an independent and properly calibrated tire
gauge.
5. Replace valve stem cap.
NOTE: The Jump-N-Carry
�
air compressor features an overheating protection
switch that could result in a temporary shut-down of the air compressor while in
use, if recommended operating temperature is exceeded. After cooling, the air
compressor will reset itself and resume normal operation.
Your air compressor is equipped with a permanently lubricated, maintenance free motor.
Never try to lubricate the compressor.
Regularly clean dust and dirt from the compressor cooling fins.
Performance and Temperature
Performance of your Jump-N-Carry
�
will depend upon several factors:
A good, solid connection between the Jump-N-Carry
�
clamps and the battery
and ground connections are a must. Moving the clamps back and forth while
connecting to the battery will help create a better connection.
Clean connections between your vehicle or equipment battery and its terminals are
very important. For an optimal connection, corrosion (soft grayish-white build-up)
on battery terminals must be removed. With the ignition turned off, disconnect the
battery cables and clean the terminals and battery posts with a baking soda
solution.
All batteries are affected by temperature changes, and the small, lightweight
battery in the Jump-N-Carry
�
is more sensitive to storage temperature than a
standard automotive battery. Temperatures above 20�C decrease amperage output.
The ideal storage environment is room temperature, or 68�F.
Battery Status Gauge
Press and hold the red test button to display the battery status on the gauge.
The Green shaded area indicates the unit is capable of jump starting.
The Yellow shaded area indicates the unit needs to be recharged.
The Red shaded area indicates the unit must be recharged before use.
You can also get a quick check of the vehicles charging system by depressing the red
test button while connected to a running vehicle and observing the gauge.
12 Volt DC Power
The Jump-N-Carry
�
is equipped with a standard 12 volt DC outlet. Plug any accessory
up to 12 Amps into the socket and the Jump-N-Carry
�
will provide power. If the
amperage rating is exceeded, a built-in auto-reset circuit breaker automatically shuts
power off until the accessory, or overload source, is removed. After extreme power
source usage, recharge the unit for 36-48 hours.
Storage
The Jump-N-Carry
�
may be stored virtually anywhere, and in any position. However,
take precautions to ensure that the positive and negative clamps do not come into
contact with each other or a common metal surface. We recommend storing the
Jump-N-Carry
�
in the box in which it was originally received.
Recharging Jump-N-Carry
Recharging Using AC Power
The Jump-N-Carry
�
requires a household extension cord (not included) for AC charging.
Plug the female end of the extension cord into the charger
