5.8 BEFORE USING THE CONVERTER
Important Safety Instructions:
1. Keep the unit well ventilated, in order to
properly disperse heat generated while
it is in use. Make sure there are several
inches of clearance around the top and
sides, and do not block the vents on
the back of the unit.
2. Make sure the unit is not close to any
potential source of ammable fumes or
clothing.
3. Keep the unit dry.
4. DO NOT allow the unit to come into
contact with rain or moisture.
5. DO NOT operate the unit if you, the
unit, the device being operated or any
other surfaces that may come in contact
with any power source are wet. Water
and many other liquids can conduct
electricity, which may lead to serious
injury or death.
6. Do not place the unit on or near heating
vents, radiators or other sources of
heat.
7. Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
The ideal air temperature for operation
is between 50° and 80° F.
8. Do not use the converter near an open
engine compartment where fumes may
accumulate.
9. Do not modify the AC receptacles in
any way.
5.9 USING THE CONVERTER
It is important to know the continuous
wattage of the device you plan to use with
the converter. The unit must be used with
devices drawing 200 watts or less. If the
wattage is not marked on the device, use
only devices that draw less than 1.7 amps
of AC current.
Devices like TVs, fans or electric
motors require additional power to start
(commonly known as the “starting” or
“peak” power). The unit can supply a
momentary surge in wattage; however
even devices rated less than the
maximum 200 watts can exceed the
converter’s surge capability and cause an
automatic overload shutdown.
Do not use the converter with a product
that draws a higher wattage than the
converter can provide, as this may cause
damage to the converter and the product.
Make sure the device you are using is
compatible with a modied sine wave
converter.
CAUTION: Always run a test to establish
whether the converter will operate a
particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload, the
converter is designed to automatically
shut down. This safety feature prevents
damaging the converter while testing
devices and equipment with the
200-watt range.
If powering more than one device, start
one device at a time to avoid a power
surge and/or converter overload. The
surge load of each device should not
exceed the converter’s Continuous
Operation wattage rate.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the
power converter to operate any
type of battery charger, monitor the
temperature of the battery charger for
about 10 minutes. If the battery charger
becomes abnormally warm, disconnect
it from the converter immediately.
You can use an extension cord from
the converter to the device without
signicantly decreasing the power being
generated by the converter. For best
operating results, the extension cord
should be 16 AWG (1.31 mm2) or larger
and no longer than 50 feet.
IMPORTANT: This converter uses a
modied sine waveform, which is not quite
the same as power company electricity.
For the following devices, we strongly
recommend that you use caution and
check the device’s manual to make sure it
is compatible with modied sine waveform.
1. Switch mode power supplies
2. Linear power supplies
3. Class 2 transformers
4. Line lter capacitors
5. Shaded pole motors
6. Fan motors
7. Microwave ovens
8. Fluorescent and high-intensity lamps
(with a ballast)
9. Transformerless battery chargers
Using the converter with any of these
devices may cause the device to run
warmer or overheat.
POWERING A 120V AC DEVICE
1. Ensure the battery clips are securely
on the storage holders.
2. Open the protective cover of the AC
power outlet on the front panel of the unit.
3. Make sure the 120V AC device to be
operated is turned OFF.
4. Plug the 120V AC device into the AC
power outlet, and turn the converter
switch to the ON position. NOTE:
When the converter is turned on and
being used, the display will show the
• 7 •
total wattage used by the device being
powered by the converter.
5. Turn the device on.
6. If the device does not operate properly
when rst connected to the converter,
push the converter rocker switch ON,
OFF, and ON again in quick succession.
If this procedure is not successful, it is
likely that the converter does not have
the required capacity to operate the
device intended.
7. Charge the unit as soon as possible
after each use.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Incorrect operation of your converter may
result in damage and personal injury.
The converter output is 120V AC and can
shock or electrocute the same as any
ordinary household AC wall outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous load is
200 watts. Do not use the converter with a
product that draws more than 200 watts,
as this may cause damage to the converter
and the product.
6. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 After use and before performing
maintenance, unplug and disconnect
the jump starter.
6.2 Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion
and other dirt or oil from the battery clips,
cords and the jump starter case.
6.3 Ensure that all of the jump starter
components are in place and in good
working condition.
6.4 All servicing should be performed by
qualied service personnel.
7. MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
7.2 Do not store the clips on the handle,
clipped together, on or around metal, or
clipped to cables. The clips on the jump
starter are live when the switch is in the
ON position and will produce arcing or
sparking if they come in contact with each
other. To prevent accidental arcing, always
place the switch in the OFF position and
keep the clips on the storage holders when
not using it to jump start a vehicle.
7.3 If the jump starter is moved around the
shop or transported to another location,
take care to avoid/prevent damage to the
cords, clips and jump starter. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury or
property damage.
IMPORTANT: Do not use and/or store the
jump starter in or on any area or surface
where damage could occur if the internal
battery should unexpectedly leak acid.
7.4 IMPORTANT:
• CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER
PURCHASE
• KEEP FULLY CHARGED
Charge the jump starter’s internal battery
immediately after purchase, after every
use and every 30 days.
All batteries are affected by temperature. The
ideal storage temperature is at 70°F. The
internal battery will gradually self-discharge
(lose power) over time, especially in warm
environments. Leaving the battery in a
discharged state may result in permanent
battery damage. To ensure satisfactory
performance and avoid permanent damage,
charge the internal battery every month.
