USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

The power booster is designed as a compact, durable and portable jump start system for vehicles and boats. This self-contained system will start most vehicles and boats without the need for a host vehicle or 230V AC power supply. This system can also be used as a safe, portable source of 12V DC electric power in remote locations and emergencies.
The power booster has an easy-to-read, color-coded battery meter that indicates the charge level. A 12V DC power socket is provided for use with appliances that would operate from a vehicle power accessory socket. The power booster can be charged from a vehicle with the 12V DC charging cable (provided). This allows maximum portability and useability when a mains plug is not available. Your jump starter can also be recharged with the included 230V AC adapter/charger. The red LED will illuminate when the battery is recharging.

Warning
Always wear eye protection when working on or around lead-acid batteries
If splashed with battery acid:
Immediately wash affected areas such as the face and particularly the eyes with clean water. Continue washing the affected area until medical help arrives.
Warning
Lead-acid batteries generate hydrogen gas during normal operation. More gas is generated when the battery is charging. Hydrogen gas is:

1. Explosive
2. Poisonous to breathe
3. Highly flammable

To avoid explosion and/or the possibility of being splashed with battery acid:

1. Never allow the red and black clamps to touch each other nor to both touch the same metal object.
2. Only attempt to jump-start a vehicle or boat in a well-ventilated area.
3. Always connect the red(+) clamp to the positive(+) battery terminal of the vehicle
4. Do not connect the black(-) clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal (see jumpstarting instructions).

Cautions

1. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect this unit from direct sunlight, direct heat, and/or moisture.
2. This system is designed to be used on vehicles or boats with 12-Volt electric systems only.
3. This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicle’s battery
4. Air Compressor Caution: Only run the air compressor for 10 mins at a time, allowing a cooling period of at least 10 minutes in between uses.

RECHARGING

1. For maximum battery life, your jump starter should be kept and stored fully charged at all times. Battery life may be shortened if the jump starter is stored in a discharged state. The table below shows the relationship of the frequency of use between recharging and the expected number of charge/recharge cycles.
   Table 1.-Battery life
   **** Number of jump-starts between recharging| Discharge and recharge cycles
   ---|---
   1| 1000+
   5| 700+
   10| 500+
2. Battery Recharging Tips
   The time required to fully recharge your jump starter after jump-starting an engine is dependent on how many jump starts are performed between recharging sessions. Table 2 shows the approximate recharging times.
   Table2.-Recharging times VS. Jump-starts
   **** Number of jump-starts| Recharging Time(in hours)
   ---|---
   1| 8
   2| 16
   3| 24
   4| 32
   5| 40
   6| 48
3. To check the battery charge, press the red button next to the voltmeter. This will show you the battery’s internal charge level.

AC adapter/charger charging:
Plug the Adapter/charger into an AC power outlet and plug the other end (output DC 12V) into the charging plug socket (besides the DC charging LED (No.11, see figure 1) on the front panel of your power pack until the battery meter shows full (15V DC).

12V DC power cord charging
Insert the power plug of the 12V DC adapter/charger (No.7, see figure 1) into the 12V DC power socket (on your vehicle or boat) and plug the other end (output DC 12V) into the charging plug socket (beside DC charging LED No.11, see figure 1) on the front panel of your power pack until the battery meter shows full(15V DC)

OPERATION

To use your power booster as a 12V DC/DC power source:

1. Lift up the cover of the 12V DC cigarette lighter receptacle (see No.1 of figure 1).
2. Insert the 12V DC cigarette lighter plug from the appliance into the 12V DC cigarette lighter receptacle on the side of your booster.
   The following table will give you an idea of what operation time you can expect when starting from a fully charged system.

Appliance type| Estimated power consumption (in watts )| Estimated usage time (in hours )
---|---|---
Fluorescent lights cell phones| 4| 30
Radios, fans, depth finders| 9| 21
Camcorders, VCR’s spotlights| 15| 12
Electric tools, bilge pumps| 24| 7
Electric coolers| 48| 3
Air compressors, car vacuums| 80| 1.5

JUMP STARTING

For performance when using your power booster to jump-start a vehicle or boat, please read and follow these
step by step instructions:
Negative Grounded Vehicle Connect the red (+) crocodile clip to the red (+) positive battery terminal on the vehicle or boat. Connect the black (-) crocodile clip to a non-moving metal part of the engine, NOT to the(-) negative battery terminal. Wait a minute or two Switch the vehicle or boat engine ignition to “start” for no more than 5 to 6 seconds. If the vehicle or boat engine does not start, wait for at least 3-minutes before trying again.
Under no circumstances allow the red and black clamps to touch each other or a common contact Once the engine is running, disconnect the black (-) clamp first and return this cable to its stored position on the power booster. Disconnect the red (+) clamp and return this cable to its stored position on the power booster. As soon as possible connect your power booster system to one of the supplied chargers. Compressor operation (SWPP9 ONLY): Air Compressor Caution, only run the air compressor for 10 mins
at a time, allow a cooling period of at least 10 mins in between uses. Be sure the main power switch on the front face is in the “ON” position. For tire inflation use the universal adapter that is attached permanently to the air hose. Place this adapter (see figure 2, 15) onto the tire valve, and press the adapter lever down to lock onto the tire valve. For inflation of leather balls, flotation devices, etc., use the applicable plastic nozzle. Check the pressure gauge (see Figures 2, 12), and determine the desired pressure. Turn on the power switch (see figure 2, 13) When the desired pressure is reached turn the compressor switch (see figure 2, 13) off. Remove the adaptor (see figure 2, 15) from the tire or other item being inflated.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Figure 3. shows a back view of your power booster with the cover and eight screws removed. To replace the battery follow these steps.

1.  Unscrew and remove the eight cross-headed screws at the back of your power booster.

2. Liftoff the cover plate to expose the battery compartment.

3. Unscrew the two cross-headed screws at the top of the battery.

4. Lift the battery out of the battery compartment.
   Cautions
   To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, ensure that the red and black recharging wires stay attached to the jumper cables and are not switched.

5. Detach cables and the red and black recharging wires from the battery terminals.

6. Ensure that the replacement battery is oriented with the label out.

7. Ensure that the red cable and red recharging wire are attached to the positive (+) battery terminal (also marked with red). Attach cables and the recharging wires to the battery terminals.

8. Taking care NOT to damage the circuit board, slide the new battery into position.

EMERGENCY LIGHT-BULB REPLACEMENT

1. Gently squeeze the sides of the emergency light lens bezel together and remove the lens and bezel.
2. Unscrew and remove the faulty bulb.
3. Replace it with a new bulb.
4. Snap the lens and bezel in place.

BATTERY DISPOSAL:

The lead-acid battery contained in the power booster jump-start system should be recycled once it has expired. Please contact your local solid waste authority for recycling information.
Warning: Do NOT dispose of the battery in an open flame as this may result in an explosion.
Warning: Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire). Do NOT expose the battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.

ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE
