CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY3.
IMPORTANT:
CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE•
KEEP FULLY CHARGED.•
This Portable Power 750 comes with a sealed, non-spillable DieHard
maintenance-free lead-acid battery. This internal battery is specically
designed to deliver high power jump-starting as well as repetitive deep
cycling performance.
To charge the Portable Power 750 internal battery:
Check the internal battery’s charge level by pressing the switch marked3.1
DISPLAY. The internal battery status LEDs will light.
NOTE: Internal battery status LEDs are most accurate when the Portable
Power 750 has been disconnected from all devices and charging sources
for 1 - 24 hours.
Using a proper extension cord, connect the cord to the charge plug and3.2
then plug the cord into a properly wired and live 110Vac/60Hz wall outlet.
CAUTION: Operating the Portable Power 750 while the internal battery is
being charged may cause permanent damage to the unit.
While the Portable Power 750 is charging, the red “3.3 CHARGING” LED will
illuminate. When the internal battery is fully charged, the green “FULL”
LED will illuminate. Complete charging may take up to 72 hours. The Por-
table Power 750 is then ready to use.
Once the battery is fully charged, the built-in charger automatically switch-3.4
es to oat-mode monitoring, which trickle charges the battery and keeps it
fully charged without overcharging.
The internal battery may also be charged while you drive using the male-
to-male accessory cable (available separately, see “Accessories and Re-
placement Parts” section of this manual). Insert one end of the accessory
cable into the 12V DC power outlet and the other end into the vehicle’s
accessory outlet (lighter socket). Completely disconnect the accessory
cable when the engine is not running.
JUMP-STARTING A VEHICLE ENGINE4.
Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep hands, hair, clothing and jewelry clear
of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that may cause injury.
Turn ignition off before making cable connections.4.1
Make sure the jump-start ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.4.2
Place the 750 on a at, stable surface near the vehicle battery and away 4.3
from moving engine parts.

•3 •
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery.4.4
Connect the black clamp to an unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle4.5
chassis or engine block. Do not connect to the carburetor, fuel lines or
sheet-metal body parts.
CAUTION: If you have connected the clamps backwards, an audio alarm
will sound. DO NOT turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. This could
cause serious damage. Reverse the connections and the audio alarm will
stop.
Turn the4.6 JUMP START ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
Turn the key and crank the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-84.7
seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to
start vehicle again. This permits the battery to cool down.
After the engine starts, turn the JUMP START ON/OFF switch to OFF.4.8
Disconnect the black clamp rst and then the red clamp. Store the clamps 4.9
on the ears located on the back of the case.
Charge the 750 as soon as possible after jump-starting.4.10
CAUTION: To prevent sparking while the 750 jump-start switch is in the
ON position, NEVER allow the clamps to touch together or to contact the
same piece of metal. And, never attempt to charge a frozen battery.
NOTE: In the rare case of jump-starting a vehicle that has a positive-
grounded vehicle electrical system, connect the black clamp to the
negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Then connect the red clamp to
an unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle chassis or engine block. If
you are unsure of the nature of the vehicle’s electrical grounding system,
check the owner’s manual of the vehicle or call the Customer Technical
Assistance number: 1-800-SEARS-64.
POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE5.
The Portable Power 750 is a power source for all 12 volt DC accessories
that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug. The DC accessory outlet
has a 15-amp automatic overload protection circuit breaker. The breaker
will automatically reset after an overload occurs.
To operate a 12V DC device:
Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the right side of the5.1
Portable Power 750.
Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn on the 12V DC5.2
device (if required).
If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A, the internal circuit breaker of5.3
the Portable Power 750 will momentarily disconnect power to the device.
If this occurs, unplug the device and the circuit breaker will automatically
reset after several seconds.

•4 •
Charge the Portable Power 750 as soon as possible after each use.5.4
Because the DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the internal
battery, extended operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive
battery drain.

USING THE BUILT-IN LIGHT7.
Position the 750 on a at, stable surface near the intended work area.7.1
Turn the Light/Display switch to the LIGHT position. The light will turn on7.2

LED INDICATORS8.
To check the internal battery status, press the switch on the front of the
750 to the DISPLAY position.
The LED lights will indicate as follows:
A red light indicates a 50% or less charge and you should immediately8.1
charge the 750.
A yellow light indicates a 50 to 75% charge. The 750 may be used, but8.2
should be charged as soon as possible.
A green light indicates a 75% to 100% charge.8.3
STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE9.
IMPORTANT:
CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE•
KEEP FULLY CHARGED.•
Charge the 750 internal battery immediately upon purchase, every 30
days and after every use.
All batteries are affected by temperature. The ideal storage temperature is
between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The internal battery will gradually
self-discharge (lose power) over time more quickly in warm environments.
Leaving the battery in a discharged state may result in permanent battery
damage. To ensure satisfactory performance and avoid permanent dam-
age, charge the internal battery every month.
When the JUMP START ON/OFF switch is ON, the clamps are live and
will produce arcing or sparking if they come in contact with each other. To
prevent accidental arcing, always keep the clamps on the storage holders
and the JUMP START ON/OFF switch in the OFF position when not using
it to jump start a vehicle.
Replacing the built-in light9.1
To replace the built-in light bulb:
Turn the light off.1.
Insert a standard (at-blade) screwdriver into one of the two slots along 2.
the bottom of the plastic lens and GENTLY pop the lens out. Repeat for
the other side.
Gently grasp the bulb and twist counter-clockwise one quarter-turn to3.
unscrew the bulb.
Insert a replacement bulb of the same type and rating, and twist clock-4.
wise one quarter-turn to screw in the new bulb.
