Jump-Starting Procedure

For 12V gasoline or diesel engines only.

1. Ensure jump starter is off and vehicle ignition is off.
2. Connect red clamp to positive (+) terminal of dead battery.
3. Connect black clamp to a clean, unpainted metal part of engine block or chassis (ground).
4. Turn jump starter power ON.
5. Start vehicle (crank for no more than 3-5 seconds).
6. Once vehicle starts, turn jump starter OFF.
7. Remove black clamp first, then red clamp.
8. Recharge jump starter after use.

Tip: If vehicle does not start after 3 attempts, wait 3 minutes before retrying to prevent overheating.

Using the Air Compressor

For inflating tires, air mattresses, sports balls, etc.

1. Ensure compressor switch is OFF.
2. Attach hose to compressor outlet and to item's valve.
3. Turn compressor switch ON.
4. Set desired pressure using pressure dial (if adjustable).
5. Monitor pressure on digital display; compressor will auto-shutoff at set PSI.
6. Turn switch OFF, detach hose, and store.

WARNING! Do not run compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes. Allow to cool between uses. Do not use for breathing air.

USB Power Ports

Charge mobile devices when jump starter is powered ON.

1. Connect USB cable from device to jump starter's USB port.
2. Device should begin charging; LED may indicate power flow.
3. For faster charging, use the 2.1A port for tablets.
4. Turn off jump starter when not in use to conserve battery.

Note: USB ports provide 5V power only. Not for high-power devices like laptops.

Maintenance & Storage

Unplug all connections before cleaning. Wipe with dry cloth; do not use liquids.

1. Recharge every 3 months if not used.
2. Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Keep clamps clean and free of corrosion.
