  5. Do not use if unit is damaged, cracked, or leaking.

WARNING! Risk of explosion. Do not connect clamps directly together. Keep battery vents clear. Use in well-ventilated area.

Initial Setup & Charging

Charge fully before first use.

  1. AC Charging: Plug AC adapter into wall outlet and into unit's AC input. Charge until indicator shows 100% (approx. 12-24 hours).
  2. DC Charging: Plug DC adapter into vehicle's 12V accessory port and into unit's DC input while engine is running.
  3. Maintenance Charge: Recharge every 3 months if not in use to preserve battery life.
  4. Check Charge Level: Press power button to view digital display or LED indicators.

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.
