ALL instructions and cautionary markings on or provided with the system and all appropriate
sections of this guide. Powerpack contains no user-serviceable parts. See Warranty section for how
to handle product issues.
WARNING: Fire and/or Chemical Burn Hazard
•Do not cover or obstruct any air vent openings and/or install in a zero-clearance compartment.
•Do not use the unit if the unit is visibly leaking some type of liquid. It is possible that the internal
battery has been damaged and battery acid may have spilled.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can result in Death or Series Injury
•When working with electrical equipment with lead acid batteries, have someone nearby in case of
an emergency.
•Wear eye protection and gloves.
•Avoid touching your eyes while using this unit.
•Keep fresh water and soap on hand in the event battery acid comes in contact with eyes. If this
occurs, cleanse right away with soap and water for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek medical
attention.
•Batteries produce explosive gases. DO NOT smoke or have an open spark or fire near the system.
•Keep unit away from moist or damp areas.
•Avoid dropping any metal tool or object on the battery. Doing so could create a spark or short
circuit which goes through the battery or another electrical tool that may create an explosion.
WARNING: Shock Hazard. Keep away from children!
•Avoid moisture. Never expose unit to water.
•Unit provides high voltageAC from inverter, treat the output sockets the same as regular wall AC
sockets at home.
WARNING: Explosion hazard!
•DO NOT use the unit in the vicinity of flammable fumes or gases (such as propane tanks or large
engines).
•AVOID covering the ventilation openings.
•Always operate unit in an open area.
•Prolonged exposure to high heat or freezing temperatures will decrease the working life of the unit.

4. OPERATION
Warning:Risk of Equipment Damage!
•Do not plug surge-protected power bars into the unit’s AC outlets. The surge protected
components on the surge-protected power bar may not work well with the modified sine wave
output generated by the unit.
•Do not connect an AC power source such as utility power or a generator to the AC output socket.
Using the Inverter (AC load)
•Press and hold the ‘AC Output Power’ button for 2 seconds to turn ON the inverter. AC output
power is now available at the AC Socket.
•With the inverter ON, the display shows the AC Output Power in (kW) and the battery capacity in
(%). Please note that the numbers are for reference only and the numbers may various
depending on the type of load used and the lifetime of the battery.
•Press the ‘AC Output Power’ button again to turn OFF the inverter. The AC output power is
turned OFF.
Note: Although the unit can provide high surge power of 1600W, some appliances may still
trigger the unit’s protection system. A higher power system like Home Solar Kit 1800 is required
for those appliances.
Caution: Some loads like speed controllers found in some fans and AC chargers for some power
tools may not like the modified sine wave generated by the inverter. Those appliances may not
work or may be damaged if they are connected to the inverter. If you are unsure about powering
any device with the inverter, contact the manufacturer of the appliances.

The USB Port on the system provides standard 5V 2.1A power to power up USB powered
handheld devices. The USB Port will automatically turn ON when a USB cable is plugged into the
port. Unplugging the USB cable will turn off the USB output.
Reminder: Unplug the USB Cable from the unit when the USB port is not in use.
Using the 12V Lighter Plug Socket
The 12V Lighter Plug Socket on the unit provides standard 12VDC maximum 15A current to power
up 12V appliances. This port is protected by an auto-reset fuse. When the internal fuse is tripped,
unplug the load from the port and wait for 5 minutes to allow the auto-rest fuse to recover. This
port can also be used to charge the internal battery by using the provided DC to DC cable and
connect it to the vehicle’s 12V lighter plug socket.
Using the LED Light
Press ‘Light’ button once to turn on the LED Light. Press again to turn the LED Light off.
Checking the Battery Status
When the inverter is OFF, Pressing the ‘AC Output Power’ button once will show the estimated
battery capacity (in %) on the display. The capacity shown on display is for reference use only.
The numbers may vary depending on the lifetime of the battery.
Charging the unit
Important: Please recharge the unit after each use.
Using the provided AC Charger:
•Plug the provided AC Charger to any AC Source.
•Connect the DC Plug from the AC Charger to the ‘DC Input Port’ of the unit. The charging
process will start automatically. The unit will be fully charge in about 15 hours.
•During the charging process with inverter OFF, the display shows battery capacity (in %) and
will show ‘FUL’ when it is fully charged.
Note: The Inverter can still be turned ON during the charging process. During this mode, the
display will repeatedly show ‘Chg’ and battery capacity - in% (indicating battery charging is in
progress) and then AC output power in kW (indicating inverter is power ON).
Using the provided DC to DC Cable through the 12V Lighter Plug Socket in Vehicles:
Warning: Risk of explosion, fire or burns. The unit can only be charge through the lighter plug
on a 12V vehicle system only. Charge through a 24V vehicle system will damage the unit and
the internal battery of the unit may explode and catch fire.
Note: Charging the unit through the unit’s ‘Lighter Plug Socket’ will not have any indicator (‘Chg’
or battery capacity) shown on the Digital Display.
•Please verify the Lighter Plug system in your vehicles is a 12V system.
•Connect one end of the DC to DC cable to the Lighter Plug Socket on the unit.
•Connect the other end of the cable to the vehicle’s 12V Light Plug Socket.
•Start your engine and it will start charging the battery automatically.
•The battery will be fully charger in about 4 hours. The charger time depends on the
Reminder:Please recharge the unit after each use and you can leave the AC Charger plugged
into the unit continuously to keep the unit in fully charge condition.
Jump Starting a Vehicle or Boat Engine
You can use the supplied ‘Heavy Duty Jump Start Cable’ to jump-start a vehicle or boat engine
that has 12V starting battery.
Warning:Fire hazard. Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another
common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit and/ or create a sparking /
explosion hazard. Always disconnect the clamps from the unit and from the vehicle after use.
Jump-start cable clamps’ connection to the vehicle’s battery terminals must be positive to
positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clamp to battery”-”). A reverse
polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit, create a
sparking/explosion hazard and/or damage the jump-start vehicle.
Warning:Risk of explosion, fire or burns. The battery terminals exposed at the ‘Heavy Duty


Page 8 
Jump Start Cable’ port have enough energy present to cause a spark, creating an explosion
hazard, or to cause burns if a metal object contacts both terminals.
The following jump-start procedure is provided for your reference:
•Turn OFF the vehicle or boat ignition and all accessories.
•Engage the park or emergency brake and place the transmission in park for an automatic or
neutral for a manual vehicle.
•If jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment and bilge of all fumes
•Connect the ‘Heavy Duty Jump Start Cable’ to the ‘Heavy Duty DC Port’ located at the back of
the unit.
•Position the unit on a flat, stable surface near the battery and away from all moving parts of the
engine.
•Connect the red positive (+) clip of the cable to the positive (+) terminal of the engine battery.
•Connect the black negative (-) clip of the cable to the engine black, cylinder head, or other
stationary heavy metal part of the motor, or to the negative (-) battery terminal.
•Before starting the engine, make sure the unit and the cables are clear of belts and fans. Do not
crank the engine for more than 4 seconds.
•Start the engine.
Warning:Fire hazard. The jump-start feature is designed for short term operation (less than 4
seconds) only. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may cause damage to
the unit or the clips. Allow the unit to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jump-start.
•After jump-start, remove the red positive (+) clip and then the black negative (-) clip from the
vehicle’s battery terminal.
•Remove the cable from the Heavy Duty DC Port.
Important:Recharge the unit as soon as possible after each use.
