INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting the Husky® START-IT ELITE® Jump-Start System. This com- pact jump-starter is unique in the amount of energy it can supply for its size. The inter- nal battery is a high-density sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and delivers ener- gy comparable to full sized ordinary jump-starters. Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to the unit or items that you are using it with.

The Husky® START-IT ELITE® Jump-Start System is a compact, durable and portable jump-start system for vehicles and boats that have a standard 12 volt battery sys- tem. This self-contained, rechargeable system will start most vehicles and boats without the need for a host vehicle or 120 volt AC power supply. It can also be used as a safe, portable source of 12 volt DC electric power in remote locations and/or emergency situations. It is ideal for use with Husky 12 volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable products.

Use the HuskySTART-IT ELITE® Jump-Start System to:

Jump start any engine system with a standard 12 volt DC battery: boat; truck; car; air- plane; RV; personal watercraft; snowmobile; garden tractor; gasoline engine generator, etc.

Operate: 12 volt DC fans, inflators, fluorescent worklights, cellular phones (can quick-charge a cellular phone by using the phone’s 12 volt DC adapter cord), spotlights, TVs, portable radios, cassette or CD players, and more.

The Jump-Start System has an easy-to-read series of LED (Light Emitting Diode) charge indicators that show when the unit is fully charged, or the level of charge in the bat- tery. Charge level can be viewed when the charge status push button is pressed. A 12 volt DC power accessory socket is provided for use with appliances that can oper- ate from a vehicle 12 volt DC accessory outlet. This allows maximum portability and utility when the Jump-Start System is used in remote locations.

The Jump-Start System can be recharged from any standard 120 volt AC power source using the supplied AC Recharge Adapter. The adapter barrel connector attaches to the Recharge Port on the top panel of the jump-starter. A built-in 12 volt appliance socket and the appropriate DC/DC charging/adapter cord is used to recharge the battery from another 12 volt DC source. When pressed, the CHARGE STATUS button will show the battery power level status (from Low to Full). The green LED full indicator illuminates when the unit is fully recharged and charging can be discontinued. An ON/OFF switch operates the built-in work/emergency light.
