JUMP STARTING - continued
NOTE:-
■If possible, the vehicle should be started by a second person as soon as the negative (-) connection is
made to the vehicle earth in order to maximize the power boost to the battery.
■If the vehicle does not start within 10 seconds, turn the ignition off and allow the internal battery to
cool for approximately three minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again. Failure to follow this
procedure may result in damage to the unit.
■Do not attempt to operate 12V or A.C. accessories while the unit is being used to jump start a vehicle,
as this will take power from the jump starting process.
The power pack will operate most 12V accessories which are equipped with “cigarette lighter” type plugs
and draw 12A or less.When fully charged, the unit will provide power to a 12A accessory for
approximately one hour; a 6A accessory for approximately two hours; a 4A accessory for approximately
three hours and so on. To operate a 12V accessory, make certain the accessory is turned off, plug the
accessory into the 12V/D.C. power port and then turn the accessory on.
NOTE:-
■The power pack is equipped with an internal circuit breaker which automatically interrupts the power
if the current draw of the 12V accessory exceeds 12A.This feature prevents damage to the unit.
■In the event of a power interruption, unplug the 12V accessory from the power port. Do not attempt to
use the power pack until the circuit breaker has reset.
■The circuit breaker will automatically reset when the internal temperature has returned to normal, this
takes 15 to 30 minutes.
The power pack is designed with an internal power inverter which converts 12V/D.C. current to 230V/A.C.
household current.This internal inverter enables you to operate certain 230V/A.C. appliances and
equipment from one of two power supplies:-
The internal 12V/D.C. battery or an independent 12V/D.C. power source such as your vehicle battery.
To power your A.C. appliance or equipment from the internal battery pack:
$ Make certain the appliance or equipment is turned off.
% Turn the power inverter switch on.The A.C. power indicator will flash briefly and then remain
on indicating the unit is producing A.C. power output.
& Plug the appliance or equipment into the A.C. outlet .
' Turn the appliance or equipment on.
To power your A.C. appliance or equipment from an external 12V power source using the units inverter:
$ Make certain the appliance or equipment is turned off.
% Plug the cigarette lighter socket adaptor on the 12V inverter charging cord into the cigarette lighter
socket in your vehicle or into the socket on the external 12V power source. It will make a brief “click”
indicating that the power source has transferred from the internal 12V battery to the 12V vehicle
battery or other external 12V power source.
& Turn the power inverter switch on.The A.C. power indicator will turn on indicating A.C. output.
' Plug the appliance or equipment into the A.C. outlet.
( Turn the appliance or equipment on.
NOTE:-
■If you wish to change the power source while operating the appliance or equipment, you must turn off
the appliance or equipment before making the change.
