3.USE AS A 12-VOLT DC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY

WARNING: NEVER INSERT A CIGARETTE LIGHTER INTO ACCESSORY SOCKET

NOTE: Make sure that the Unit’s Power Safety Switch is ALWAYS in the Off position when using the unit’s 12 volt DC cigarette-lighter type accessory outlet.

1. Lift up the cover of the unit ‘s 12 volt DC socket.

2Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance into the cigarette lighter type socket on the unit.

DO NOT EXCEED A 15 AMP LOAD.

3.Switch on the appliance, as usual.

4.Periodically press the Battery Status Pushbutton to check battery status.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCES THAT DRAW MORE THAN 15 AMPS.

4.CHARGING/RECHARGING

Lead-acid batteries require maintenance to maintain a full charge and to ensure good battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When Start-It Compact is not in use, Vector recommends that the battery is recharged at least every 60 days.

All batteries must be recharged as soon as possible after each use. If a battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life will be reduced.

NOTE: RECHARGING BATTERY AFTER EACH USE WILL PROLONG BATTERY LIFE; FREQUENT HEAVY DISCHARGES BETWEEN RECHARGES WILL REDUCE BATTERY LIFE. OVERCHARGING WILL REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.

The battery can be recharged using an AC adapter or DC adapter. See figures 3a and 3b - AC Recharge Adapter and DC Recharge Adapter.

Check the battery charge level by pressing the Charge Status Button. The LED Charge Status display will indicate the level of charge of the main battery When only one red LED lights, be sure to recharge the unit.

4.1AC RECHARGE

The AC Recharge Adapter is a UL approved “wall” type unit that operates from any 110 volt, 60 Hz AC supply that has a standard North American receptacle. The wire has a barrel con- nector that plugs into the unit to recharge the internal battery. See Figure 3A AC Recharge Adapter.

Make sure that the Safety Switch and the Work light are turned off during AC recharge. When a powered AC Recharge adapter’s barrel connector is plugged into the Recharge Port, the Battery Status Display will automatically activate. As recharge progresses, the red LEDs will light one by one. Charge the unit until the Battery Status Display lights the or flashes the green FULL LED. Continue to recharge for one to two hours, and then disconnect the AC Recharge Adapter. AC recharge system is an automatic taper charge and The AC Recharge Adapter can be left connected to the Main Unit for long periods. See Figure 1 for AC Recharge port location of the Start-It..
