INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new Stanley
®
Jump Starter. Read this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions
carefully before using this unit.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from
self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy
lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least
every 30 days.
IMPORTANT: If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery status LEDs illuminate as if the unit is fully charged when connected to
a charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit
charging for a period of 24-36 hours using the built-in AC charger before use.
Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 24 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
The battery can be recharged using the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger.
Make sure the jump-starter power switch is turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.

• Do not operate this appliance near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• Never submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to rain, snow or use when wet.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used in a garage or enclosed
area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING THIS UNIT
• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household extension cord (not supplied) for a full
24 hours before using for the first time. You cannot overcharge the unit using the AC charging method.
• To recharge this unit, use only the built-in 120 volt AC charger.
• All ON/OFF switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make sure all switches are in the OFF position
before connection to a power source or load.
EXTENSION CORDS
• Outdoor use extension cords. When appliance is charged outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so
marked.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
