GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The high-performance internal battery allows the GYSPACK AIR to serve 5 functions:

• Test battery
• Instant Start (1250 A peak /480 A) from a vehicle equipped with a 12V Lead battery (Gel or Liquid electrolyte).
• 4 Bars Compressor (13 L/min) for inflating wheels, balloons …
• 12 V DC power supply, to supply light Spot, TV, tools, etc…
• Light

To ensure good working conditions and optimize the durability of its internal battery, it is important to recharge it after each use and leave it plugged in until the next usage.

BATTERY TEST FEATURE

Test of internal battery before the start
In order to test the internal battery, press and the result will be displayed:
Greenlight: Internal battery is charged. Starting is possible
Orange light :
Red light:
Attention !!! Please do not use the machine when the orange or red light is lit! You need to recharge it first.

STARTING A VEHICLE

Do not disconnect the battery from the vehicle. Disconnecting the battery may result in a loss of information and a possible inability to restart.
The booster must be stored in a vertical position. Any other storage position should only be temporary.

In order to use the GYSPACK AIR as a starter, follow these steps:
• Disconnect the GYSPACK AIR from the mains. Turn the vehicle ignition key to OFF.
• Position the switch «OFF».
• Connect the red clamp to the + terminal of the battery, and the black one to the – terminal. A
buzzer will indicate any polarity inversion.

The cables must not be pinched or in contact with hot or sharp surfaces.

• Switch the commutator on ON (« Turn on the GYSPACK AIR»)

• Go to the driver’s seat and turn the ignition key (6-sec max). If your engine does not start, wait 3 minutes until the next attempt.

• If the cooling period between each attempt (3 minutes) is not observed or if the duration of the attempt is too long (> 6 seconds), the chances of a successful jumpstart are significantly reduced (risk of power loss).

• Risk of battery acid leaks or damage if the recommended periods are not observed.

• If the vehicle does not start, it may be a problem other than a faulty battery: alternator, glowplug…
  Risk of explosion or acid splashes when connecting a 12 V booster to a 24 V vehicle. Beware of possible short-circuit of the clamps.

• Position the switch «OFF».

• Unplug the black clamp, then the red one from the vehicle.

• Recharge your GYSPACK AIR after use. (see ‘Charging internal battery)

CHARGING INTERNAL BATTERY USING INTEGRATED CHARGER

The GYSPACK AIR is fitted with an automatic charger that maintains the internal battery fully charged without the need for monitoring. When the battery is fully charged,  the charger will automatically go into floating mode and stop the charge. It will automatically restart when needed.
To recharge the GYSPACK AIR :

• Place the GYSPACK AIR in a vertical position during the charge.
• Plug in the power supply to an outlet 230 V and the other end on the front of GYSPACK AIR (n°2 fig p. 41).
• The green indicator indicates the charge that the GYSPACK AIR is over.
  Nb: If the device stays more than 24 hours in charging mode (red LED, orange indicator on), then manually stop the
  charge. The internal battery of your GYSPACK AIR is damaged.

USING THE GUYS PACK AIR AS A 12V DC POWER SUPPLY
The cigarette lighter plug is protected by an integrated 20 A circuit breaker. In the event of an overheating due to an overcharge, the circuit breaker will stop the power supply.

OFF Position the switch «OFF».
Open the lead of the cigarette lighter plug Remove the cigarette lighter and plug the lead into the hole (n°1 fig p. 65).
Plug your electrical device into the plug of GYSPACK AIR, using the proper cable (not included).

GYSPACK AIR integrates a 4 bars compressor, allowing to inflate :

• Tires with their original valve. (press the lever to lock the hose on the valve).
• Balloons with thin ends (included).
• Any other plastic objects (beach balloons, toys, air beds, etc.) with 2 special ends “connectors”

Usage

• Turn the GYSPACK AIR main switch to « off »

• Press the “ON” button to start the compressor.
  Nb: the compressor can work for 10mn maximum. Please wait for 10mn between the next use.

• Flowmeter indicates the current air pressure

• Stop the compressor when the required pressure is reached

USE OF CIGARETTE LIGHTER PLUGS

This type of cigarette lighter connection lead is limited to 10A. Supplied with some of our GYSPACK, they are SOLELY designed for memory backup. Any other use can be dangerous.
Risk of fire! We strongly advise against using the cigarette lighter lead to jump-start or power a 12V appliance for instance.

BATTERY NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY

Batteries are live parts, their life depends on maintenance. After each use of this starter, it is essential to recharge the internal batteries. Storage in places with high temperatures greatly reduces the battery charge. In the case of prolonged non-use, it is strongly recommended to recharge the batteries before use. In general, we recommend leaving the product plugged in continuously to maintain the batteries at their best performance.
This product is equipped with 2 high-performance batteries if the maintenance instructions are not followed the batteries can deteriorate irreversibly over time.
For this reason, the GYSPACK batteries are excluded from the warranty.

WARRANTY

The warranty covers faulty workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase (parts and labour).
The warranty does not cover:

• Transit damage.
• Normal wear of parts (eg. : cables, clamps, etc..).
• Damages due to misuse (power supply error, dropping of equipment, disassembling).
• Environment-related failures (pollution, rust, dust).
  In case of failure, return the unit to your distributor together with:
  – The proof of purchase (receipt etc …)
  – A description of the fault reported

BATTERY REPLACEMENT:

To replace the battery :

• The booster must be disconnected from the power supply.
• First, the back panel must be unscrewed (15 screws) and removed.
• Once the back panel is removed, the battery front appears (cf illustration). The battery is connected to the GYSPACK
  AIR at two points: at the – terminal (illustration 1 ) and at the + terminal (illustration 2 ). To remove the battery, remove the 2 screws that enable the connection between the battery and the GYSPACK AIR at the terminals + and -.

When putting in a new battery, make sure to observe the polarities of both the battery and the GYSPACK AIR. Terminal – on the left, terminal + on the right (cf illustration). Put the 2 screws and washers back, and tighten the nuts (recommended torque wrench 4 N.m).

• Place the booster’s back panel screws back on.
