COMPRESSOR OPERATION
Cauon: Run compressor only for 10 minutes at a me connuously, then leave o for
10 minutes before using again so that the compressor can cool.
1. Switch the compressor power switch on. You should hear the compressor start.
2. For tyre inaon use the universal adapter that is aached permanently to the air
hose. Place this adapter (refer Figure 2, No. C) onto the tyre valve
stem, press the adapter lever down to lock onto the valve system.
3. For inaon of leather balls, otaon devices, etc, use one of the
plasc nozzles.
4. Check pressure gauge (refer Figure 2, No. A), to determine the de-
sired pressure. This is only an indicator, for exact inaon pressure use a quality pres-
sure gauge.
5. Turn on power switch (refer Figure 2, No. B).
6. When the desired pressure is reached turn the compressor switch o (refer Figure 2,
No. B).
7. Remove the adapter (refer Figure 2, No. C) from the tyre or other item being inated.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
The lead acid baery contained in the powerstaon should be recycled once it has expired.
Please contact your local government for recycling informaon.
Warning: Do NOT dispose of the baery in an open ame as this may result in an explosion
and toxic fumes.
Warning: Before disposing of the baery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty elec-
trical tape to prevent shorng (shorng can result in injury or re). Do NOT expose baery
to re or intense heat as it may explode.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 The powerstation should only be used for its intended purpose.
 Always switch the power station off and remove the plug from the wall socket when not
in use and before cleaning or changing accessories.
 Always ensure the powerstation is switched off before connecting it to the mains supply.
 Never reach for an electrical product that has fallen into water. To do so will result in an
electric shock. Switch off the power at the wall socket and disconnect the plug before
attempting to remove it from the water. After removing, never attempt to re-connect the
product until it has fully dried and been tested and approved by a qualified person.
 Not for use by children.
 Never allow the mains cable to come into contact with a heat source, water or any other
liquid. Ensure sharp objects like knives etc are never used close to a mains cable when
the product is in use.
 Never allow the cable to drape over the edge of a work surface where it could be pulled
by a small child.
 Never operate this product if the cable or plug become damaged.
NOTE: Only a qualified person can carry out repairs on this item.
 Keep all ventilation slots clear from obstructions and observe safe working distances
from walls etc. Never put anything into the ventilation slots of an electrical appliance.

JUMP STARTING
Please read and follow these step by step instrucons to ensure safe operaon:
1. Turn ignion o before making cable connecons
2. Ensure the powerstaon master switch is in the o posion
3. Connect the red (+) alligator clamp to the red (+) posive baery terminal of the vehi-
cle or boat. Be careful to ensure this is correct or damage may occur.
4. Connect the black (-) alligator clamp to the (-) negave baery terminal.
5. Check to see if the polarity indicator is green (Figure 1, No 9), if red check leads and
correct posion.
6. Turn the Power Switch to the on posion.
7. Wait a minute or two.
8. Try starng the vehicle for no more than 5 to 6 seconds.
9. If the vehicle or boat engine does not start, wait at least 3-minutes before trying
again.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ALLOW THE RED AND BLACK CLAMPS TO TOUCH EACH OTH-
ER OR A COMMON CONTACT. THIS WILL RESULT IN SPARKING AND DAMAGE.
1. Once the engine is running turn the powerstaon master switch to the o posion.
2. Disconnect the black (-) clamp rst and return this cable to its stored posion on the
power booster.
3. Disconnect the red (+) clamp and return this cable to its stored posion on the power
booster.
4. As soon as praccal connect your powerstaon to the AC adapter charger and re-
charge.

RECHARGING
1. For maximum baery life, it is recommended that the powerstaon be kept fully
charged at all mes. If the baery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, the
baery life may be shortened.
2. This unit MUST be charged every 3 months, whether in use or not. Each charging me
should be no more than 48 hours.
3. Baery Recharging Tips. The me required to fully recharge the powerstaon aer
jump-starng an engine is a funcon of how many jump starts are performed be-
tween recharging sessions.
4. To check the baery charge, press the test buon below the volt indicator. This will
show the baery’s internal charge level. Green light – good charge, yellow light –
weak/recharge, red light - recharge
230V AC adapter/charger charging
Make sure the powerstaon is in the o posion.
Plug the Adapter/charger (refer Figure 1, No.13) into an AC power outlet and put the other
(output DC 12V) end into the charging socket (refer Figure 1, No.2) on the front panel of
your powerstaon. The charging light will show red and then change to green when fully
charged. This can take 8-20 hours.
12V DC/DC power cord charging
Make sure the powerstaon is in the o posion.
Insert the cigaree lighter plug of the 12V DC/DC adapter/charger (refer Figure 1, No.12)
into an 12V DC cigaree lighter receptacle (on your vehicle or boat) and put the other
(output) end into the charging socket (refer Figure 1, No.2) on the front panel of your pow-
erstaon unl the charging light changes from red (charging) to green (charged)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO USE YOUR POWER BOOSTER AS A 12V DC/DC POWER SOURCE
1. Li up the cover of 12V DC cigaree lighter receptacle (refer Figure 1, No.8).
2. Insert the 12V DC cigaree lighter plug from your appliance into the 12V DC cigaree
lighter receptacle on the side of your powerstaon. The centre post is posive and
outer case negave. Ensure that the device cable is correct.
The following table will give you an idea of what operaon me you can expect when
starng from a fully charged power booster.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The powerstaon is designed as a compact, durable and portable jump start system for
vehicles and boats. This self-contained system will start most vehicles and boats without
the need for a host vehicle or 230V AC power supply. The powerstaon can also be used as
a safe, portable source of 12 DC electric power in remote locaons and emergencies.
The powerstaon has an easy to read, color-coded baery charge indicator. A 12V DC ciga-
ree lighter-type socket is provided for use with appliances that would operate from a
vehicle cigaree lighter. This provides maximum portability and convenience when a
mains plug is not available. The powerstaon can be recharged with the included 230V AC
adapter/charger or the cigaree lighter type 12V DC cable provided. The red LED will illu-
minate when the baery is recharging and change to green when charged.
PLEASE TREAT WITH CARE. DO NOT DROP OR SUBJECT THE POWERSTATION TO IMPACTS OF
ANY KIND.
WARNING
Always wear personal protecve clothing and safety glasses when working on or around
lead-acid baeries. If splashed with baery acid, immediately wash eected area with
plenty of water. If splashed in eyes: Force the eye(s) open and ood with clean cold water
from a shower, eye-wash staon or bole for at LEAST 15-20 minutes. Seek further medical
aenon immediately.
WARNING
Lead-acid baeries generate hydrogen gas during normal operaon. More gas is generat-
ed when the baery is charging. Hydrogen gas is:
1. Explosive
2. Poisonous to breathe
3. Highly ammable
To avoid explosion and/or the possibility of being splashed with baery acid:
1. Never allow the red and black clamps to touch each other or to both touch the same
metal object.
2. Only aempt to jump start a vehicle or boat in a well-venlated area.
3. Always connect the red(+) clamp to the posive(+) baery terminal of the vehicle.
4. Do not connect the black(-) clamp to a moving metal part on the engine.
CAUTION
1. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect this unit from
direct
sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture and impacts or any kind.
2. The powerstaon is designed to be used only on vehicles or boats with 12-Volt electric
systems. Don’t use on 6 volt or 24 volt systems.
3. The powerstaon is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicle’s own
baery
Do not store the powerstaon in places in which the temperature could exceed 50 degrees
cengrade
4. Air compressor cauon: Run the compressor for maximum 10 minutes at one me con-
nuously. Then leave o for 10 minutes before using again so that the compressor can
cool.
