3-in-1 PowerPal
®
Description
The 3-in-1 PowerPal®is a portable,
rechargeable jump starter, inflator and
12 Volt DC power source.
Use it to quickly and easily jump start any
standard 12 Volt DC vehicle battery. Its
sealed, lead-acid battery is packaged in a
compact, durable case that features a
built-in carry handle and a rear holster
for storing the system’s heavy duty, 24”
booster cables and clamps. LEDs keep
you informed as to the status of the
battery.
The high-pressure inflator with flexible
hose, universal adapter, inflation nozzles
/ needle and air pressure gauge can be
used for emergency roadside tire inflation and to inflate bike tires, soccer balls,
beach balls and other sporting equipment.
The built-in 12 Volt DC power source
works just like your car’s cigarette lighter
outlet, giving you the power to operate
cell phones, TVs, camcorders, work lights,
radios, etc.
A 120 Volt AC Adapter lets you
conveniently recharge the system using a
standard 120 Volt wall outlet, while a 12
Volt DC Cord gives you the ability to
recharge the system using an available
car or boat battery.

WARNING
!
DANGER
Possible explosion hazard –
dangerous hydrogen gas
can be released from
batteries while charging,
jump starting and during
normal operation. Sparks
can ignite the gas in an
enclosed space. Unit should
be used in a well-ventilated
area.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in
the vicinity of the battery. Never expose
the battery to fire or intense heat as it may
explode.
Wear ANSI approved Z87.1
safety glasses when
working with or near lead
acid batteries.
An assistant should be present or close
enough to come to your aid in the
event of an emergency. Have a reliable
source of fresh water and soap nearby
in case battery acid contacts clothing,
skin or eyes.
Avoid touching your eyes when
working around lead acid batteries.
If battery acid contacts your eye(s), flush
with cold running water for 15 minutes
and seek immediate medical attention. If
acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If
irritation persists, seek immediate medical
attention.
Remove jewelry and metal objects when
jump starting a vehicle. They can cause
short circuits or react with battery acid to
cause severe burns.
Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump
starting a vehicle because static electricity
sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is
rubbed.

to chassis or to a solid, non-moving
metal part of the vehicle as far away
from the battery as possible. Do not
attach the black clamp to the battery
to be boosted or to fuel lines.
5. Start vehicle. Do not turn key for
longer than 3-5 seconds.
6. • After vehicle starts, remove Black
clamp first and return it to its holster.
