WARNING

Safety Information

General precautions for use:

• Never work alone with electrical equipment. Make sure that someone is around to
give assistance if you need help.

• Always store, use, and charge the

Jump-N-Carry®in an area where children cannot

get to the unit.

• The charger uses household 110/120 Volt electrical supply, which if misused, may
cause injury or fire.

• Use the

Jump-N-Carry®to charge/jump start lead-acid batteries only. Do not use the

unit to recharge dry cell batteries.

• Remove jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working
around a battery. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current, which can
melt metals and result in a severe burn.

• Do not drop tools or other metal objects on or near the battery as a spark may result,
igniting explosive gases.

• Never jump start or attempt to recharge a frozen battery.

WARNING

Read these instructions completely before using the Jump-N-Carry®and save them for
future reference. Before using the Jump-N-Carry®to jump start a car, truck, boat or to
power any equipment, read these instructions and the instruction manual/safety
information provided by the car, truck, boat or equipment manufacturer. Following all
manufacturers’ instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.

Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release
explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read and
follow these instructions for safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in this
manual and on the Jump-N-Carry

®

each time you jump start using the Jump-N-Carry®.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently
explode in the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette
lighter while near batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing
because static electricity sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all
cautionary material on the Jump-N-Carry® and in the engine compartment.

Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment
when working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around
lead-acid batteries.

Always store clamps in their holsters, away from each other or common conductors.
Improper storage of clamps may cause the clamps to come in contact with each other, or
a common conductor, causing the battery to short circuit and generate high enough heat
to ignite most materials.
Never touch the air compressor or fittings connected to the air compressor, with bare
hands during or immediately after usage. It will become very hot during and after use, if
necessary, wear heat resistant gloves.

Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts
may cause severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's
Owner's Manual.

While the battery in the Jump-N-Carry® is a sealed unit with no free liquid acid, batteries
being charged with the Jump-N-Carry® unit likely contain liquid acids which are
hazardous if spilled.

Jump Starting Instructions

1. Use in a well ventilated area. Shield eyes with safety glasses or goggles.

2. Turn off the ignition before making cable connections.

NOTE: A good, solid and clean connection is essential for a successful jump start
(see Performance and Temperature section).

3. Taking care to never touch the clamps together, first remove the

RED POS (+)

clamp from it’s holster and connect it to the RED POS (+) battery terminal. Then
remove the BLACK NEG (–) clamp from it’s holster and connect it to the engine
ground, or a non-moving metal engine part. Never connect to the fuel line, fuel
injector or carburator as the engine ground.

NOTE: Many vehicles feature alternate starting points, away from the battery.
Always use the alternate starting points whenever available.

CAUTION: Stay clear of batteries while jump starting.

4. After jump starting, disconnect the BLACK NEG (–) clamp first, then disconnect
the RED POS (+) clamp.

5. Always return the clamps to their holsters after use. Never attach the clamps to the
handle of the

Jump-N-Carry®.

6. After use, recharge the Jump-N-Carry®(see Recharging Jump-N-Carry®section).

When jump starting, do not use the unit for more than 6 seconds without a 3 minute rest
period between use. See the

Warranty for important details.

To ensure trouble-free use, please remember to recharge the unit for 24 hours at least
once every 3 months during the winter, and monthly during the summer (see

Recharging Jump-N-Carry®section).

Air Compressor Instructions

1. Remove valve stem cap and connect compressor hose to the valve stem.

2. Turn on the air compressor and use the gauge to monitor the tire's pressure.

3. Once the tire has reached the appropriate PSI (noted on the tire or in the Owner's
Manual), turn off the compressor.

4. Disconnect the compressor hose and return to storage clip. It is always good
practice to test the tire pressure with an independent and properly calibrated tire
gauge.

5. Replace valve stem cap.
NOTE: The Jump-N-Carry®air compressor features an overheating protection

switch that could result in a temporary shut-down of the air compressor while in
use, if recommended operating temperature is exceeded. After cooling, the air
compressor will reset itself and resume normal operation.

Your air compressor is equipped with a permanently lubricated, maintenance free motor.
Never try to lubricate the compressor.

Regularly clean dust and dirt from the compressor cooling fins.
