120 Volt AC Charging

1.Lift the AC Charger cover located on the back of the Power Center and connect a standard household extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard North American 120 volt AC wall outlet.

2.Charge until three Red and one Green LEDs light.

3.Once fully charged, disconnect the extension cord.

Note: The unit cannot be overcharged using this method.

12 Volt DC Charging

The 12 Volt DC recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging from 120 volt AC. The 12 volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, since frequent use of the 12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.

1.Insert the gold-tipped DC Charging Adapter end plug into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.

2.Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 volt DC accessory outlet on the front panel of the unit.

3.To check the charge status of the battery during DC charging, disconnect the DC adapter from the accessory outlet and push the Battery Charge Level pushbutton. Observe the battery charge indicator.

4.When charging is complete, remove the power cord.

WARNING

Do not recharge for more than 5 to 6 hours maximum using the 12 volt DC method.

USING THE POWER CENTER AS A JUMP-STARTER

WARNINGS

•Before using this system to jump-start any vehicle read and understand all instructions, safety tips, warnings, cautions and first aid information provided in this manual and on the product labeling. Additional important information may also be provided by the vehicle’s battery system manufacturer.

•Connect or disconnect battery leads ONLY when AC or DC charging supply cords are disconnected.

CAUTIONS

•To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect this unit from direct sunlight, direct heat and moisture.

•This system is to be used ONLY on vehicles, garden tractors and gasoline-powered generators with 12 volt DC battery systems.

•This system is NOT designed to be installed as a replacement for a vehicle battery.

Jump-Starting Instructions

This jump-starter is equipped with a manual safety switch that only allows jump-start energy to flow when proper connections are made to battery and frame.

Connect — RED clamp first, then BLACK clamp. Disconnect — BLACK clamp first, then RED clamp.

1.Turn OFF vehicle ignition and all accessories (radio, A/C, lights, cell phone, etc.). Place vehicle in “park” and set the emergency brake.

2.Make sure jump-start system’s ON/OFF power switch is turned to OFF.

3.Connect jumper cables to unit.

4.To jump-start a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (NEGATIVE battery terminal is connected to the chassis — the most common configuration), follow steps 4a and 4b, then proceed to step 6.

4a. Connect the POSITIVE (+) RED clamp to vehicle battery’s POSITIVE ungrounded post.

4b. Connect the NEGATIVE (–) BLACK clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.

5.To jump-start a POSITIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM — In the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a POSITIVE Grounded System, POSITIVE battery terminal is connected to chassis, replace steps 4a and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.

5a. Connect NEGATIVE (–) BLACK clamp to vehicle battery’s NEGATIVE ungrounded post.

5b. Connect POSITIVE (+) RED clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.

DO NOT TURN SAFETY SWITCH ON IF REVERSE POLARITY ALARM SOUNDS OR THE REVERSE POLARITY INDICATOR LIGHTS. REVERSE THE CLAMP CONNECTIONS.

6.After making proper connections, turn safety power switch to ON.

7.Start vehicle (do not turn key for longer than 5-6 seconds).

8.After vehicle starts, turn the safety power switch to off, remove clamps (disconnect the frame or engine clamp first, followed by the battery cable). Store the cables on the clamp tabs on the back of the unit.

Notes: Always disconnect the engine or frame jumper clamp first; followed by the battery jumper clamp.

If engine fails to start, leave the ignition turned off and disconnect the NEGATIVE (–) clamp first, then the POSITIVE (+) clamp. Try again later — the engine may be flooded.

Recharge the Power Center after each use.
