6.3.1 CONNECTING THE POWER PACK
(VEHICLES WITH NEGATIVE EARTH)
Switch off the ignition and all electrical consumers of the vehicle (radio, lights, rear window heating, seat heating etc.). Apply the parking brake. First connect the red (+) pole callipers (Position 5 in the overview) to the plus terminal of your vehicle battery. The black (-) pole callipers (Position 4 in the overview) is connected, as far as possible from the battery, to the motor block or chassis (not to a painted part).

6.3.2 ATTEMPTING TO START
Start the motor. Do not operate the starter for longer than 6 seconds. The battery of the power pack is not designed for longer starting attempts. Pause for at least 5 minutes between two starting attempts. If the motor does not start after a number of attempts, abort the process and investigate the cause of the defect.
6.3.3 REMOVING THE POWER PACK

6.4 USE AS A 12 V VOLTAGE SUPPLY
The Power Pack can be used as a 12 V direct current source for many devices that can be operated with 12 V direct current and a 12 V motor vehicle charging cable. Plug the motor vehicle charging cable of the device you wish to operate into one of the 12 V outlet (Position 12 in the overview). The device you wish to operate should not require a current greater than 10 A.

6.5 COMPRESSOR
In order to be able to work with the compressor, first remove the air hose from the storage compartment (Position 11 in the overview).

6.5.1 FILLING A TYRE USING THE CAR VALVE
(SCHRADER VALVE)

To fill, switch the compressor on using the switch (Position 10 in the overview).
The manometer (Position 9 in the overview) is used to give a rough approximation of the air pressure. When the desired air pressure is reached, switch the compressor off . Remove the valve connection in reverse order (Figures 10 – 7).

When filling, always pay attention to the correct air pressure (consult the operating instructions of your vehicle for information). The compressor is able to supply of pressure of up to a maximum of 18 bar. If the pressure is too high, there is a risk of explosion and injury.

Never allow the compressor to operate for longer than 10 minutes without a pause, otherwise there is a risk of overheating. Switch the compressor off after 10 minutes of use and allow it to cool down for at least 10 minutes before starting it up again. Never leave the compressor to operate unattended.

After filling a tyre, check the tyre pressure again using a separate air pressure tester (e.g. at a filling station, vehicle workshop).

6.5.2 USING THE VALVE ADAPTER

15a Universal adapter small
15b Universal adapter big
15c Adapter for balls

Universal adapter for leisure articles (15a and 15b):
Open the lock of the valve connection (Figure 7). Insert a universal adapter into the valve connection. Lock the valve connection (Figure 9). Insert the universal adapter into the filling connection of your leisure equipment. Depending on version, it is possible that the universal adapter will need to be held firmly during the filling process. Now you can switch on the compressor and start the filling process. When the desired air pressure is reached, switch the compressor off . Remove the adapter from the valve connection by  proceeding in reverse order, as described above.

Adapter for balls (15c):
Open the lock of the valve connection (Figure 7). Insert the adapter for balls into the valve connection. Lock the valve connection (Figure 9). Insert the adapter into the valve of the ball. Now you can switch on the compressor and fill the ball. When the desired air pressure is reached, switch the compressor off . Remove the adapter from the valve connection by proceeding in reverse order, as described above.
