Jump-Start Cables and Protection

ElectroMate is equipped with extra heavy duty 78 inch (2 meters) long, 9mm 2 diameter cables and heavy duty clamps. The cable storage area and cables are shown in Figure 3. To release clamps from unit squeeze handles.

The heavy duty manual safety switch turns the jump-start cables on and off. With the safety switch turned OFF, three indicators are enabled. (See Figure 4)

1.An audible polarity alarm is enabled.

2.A Polarity Correct LED is enabled (Figure 2).

3.A Reverse Polarity Alarm LED is enabled (Figure 2).

The audible alarm sounds and the Reverse Polarity LED lights if the cables are connected to the wrong polarity. The polarity correct LED lights when the cables and clamps are properly connected.

WARNING: The safety switch is NEVER to be turned ON when the reverse polarity alarms indicate the polarity is incorrect. The cables position must be reversed and the correct polarity indicator must be lit before the safety switch is turned ON.

ElectroMate is supplied with a fully automatic 12 Volt 10 ampere battery charger (Vector Part No. VEC077EM). The charger is stored in the Charger Storage Hatch and must be removed from the Storage Hatch for use. The VEC077EM is a high frequency, three stage charger that can either be permanently connected to ElectroMate or connected to a battery clamp adapter cable for charging other 12 Volt batteries. A series of LED indicators on the charger enables the user to monitor the charging process. The charger output will only be turned on when the battery to be charged is connected with correct polarity.

Another feature is the high pressure, removable Air Compressor. This Compressor allows quick inflation of tires, sports balls and other inflatables. An easy to read analog pressure gauge allows accurate pressure readings, so thereÕs no guesswork about critical tire pressures. Now there is no excuse for driving on under-or over-inflated tires risking safe operation. A Compressor On/ Off rocker switch is located to the left of the gauge and the front of the compressor controls operation. The AIR COMPRESSOR HOSE AND TIRE CHUCK are stored under the compressor. A DC cable connects the compressor to any DC accessory socket for operation away from ElectroMate. (Figure 1)

Aremovable 8 watt Fluorescent Lamp operates from ElectroMateÕs self-con- tained battery. It can be powered from either an ElectroMate DC outlet or it can be moved and plugged into any 12 Volt power source. (Figure 1)
