Visual Inspection

• Visually inspect the InstaJACK before each use. Do not use if you see anything
abnormal such as cracks, damage, missing parts, or excessive wear. Do NOT
use power cord if it is frayed, damaged, or has kinks in it. Replace a damaged
power cord immediately. If you see abnormalities, call the Customer Service
Number Listed in this manual.

• Do NOT alter or repair InstaJACK in any way. Do NOT modify the wiring in any
way. Instead, call the Customer Service Number Listed on the front of this
manual. Any alterations to the InstaJACK or any of its components is dangerous
and will void the warranty.

• Use only adapters and attachments supplied by the manufacturer. Use of
other adapters or attachements will void the warranty.

• Use only extension cables and adapters supplied by manufacturer. Be careful
not to leave the power cord in a location where someone could trip on it.

• Only use the InstaJACK on level, solid ground, free of stones, sticks or other
items. Do NOT use on soft shoulder. Do NOT use on very hot pavement. Do
NOT use on ice or snow.

• Use only your Vehicle’s 12V cigarette-lighter socket as a power source.

• Never use the vehicle’s 12V cigarette-lighter socket to operate two motorized
tools at the same time. It will overload the fuses and could cause damage.

of the vehicle that are designated by the vehicle manufacturer. Follow the
tire changing instructions that are described in the vehicle-owner’s manual.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with the InstaJack, read these helpful hints and if you
still have problems, call the Customer Service number listed in this manual.

Jack will not work.

• Check that your car’s cigarette lighter is getting power. Use the cigarette
lighter and make sure it heats up. If it does not check your car’s fuses and
change the cigarette lighter fuse if necessary.

• Make sure that the Jack is plugged in to the cigarette lighter socket correctly.
The green indicator light on the instaJACK plug indicates that you have a
good connection. If light does not illuminate. Reset the plug in the socket
until the green indicator light comes on.

• Check that power is reaching the jack by switching on the adjustable light.
If the light does not switch on then you are not getting power. Reset the
plug in the 12V DC power socket. Also check the car’s cigarette lighter fuse
this may need changing.

• If the Jack still will not work, you may have a flat car battery. Turn on the
car ignition and try the InstaJACK again. If the jack will not work while the
car is running, then call Customer Service.

• Make sure your car’s power system has no problems by testing the InstaJACK
in another car. If InstaJack works in a separate car then your car’s power
is faulty.

Checking and changing InstaJACK fuse.

• To check the InstaJACK fuse, remove the
tip of the Cigarette Lighter Power Plug.

• Remove fuse.

• If the internal wire is
broken or burnt, replace
it with 15 amp fuse which can be
obtained from any autoparts store or
supermarket car section.

Visually inspect the InstaJACK.

Do not use if you see anything abnormal such as cracks, damage, missing parts,
or excessive wear. Do NOT use power cord if it is frayed, damaged, or has kinks
in it. Replace a damaged power cord immediately. If you see abnormalities, call
the Customer Service Number Listed in this manual.
