SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING
Read these instructions completely before using the Truck PAC and save them for future
reference. Before using the Truck PAC to jump start a car, truck, boat or to power any
equipment, read these instructions and the instruction manual/safety information
provided by the car, truck, boat or equipment manufacturer. Following all manufacturers’
instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release
explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read and
follow these instructions for safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in this
manual and on the Truck PAC each time you jump start using the Truck PAC.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently
explode in the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette
lighter while near batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing
because static electricity sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all
cautionary material on the Truck PAC and in the engine compartment.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment
when working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around
lead-acid batteries.
Always store clamps in their holsters, away from each other or common conductors.
Improper storage of clamps may cause the clamps to come in contact with each other,
or a common conductor, causing the battery to short circuit and generate high enough
heat to ignite most materials.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts
may cause severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's
Owner's Manual.
While the battery in the Truck PAC is a sealed unit with no free liquid acid, batteries
being jump started with the Truck PAC unit likely contain liquid acids which are
hazardous if spilled.
WARNING
Never hook up a 12 Volt DC power source to a 24 Volt DC vehicle. This will grossly
overcharge the 12 Volt power source and generate flammable gasses that may explode
and cause property damage and/or bodily harm.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Someone should always be within range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing or eyes. Protective eyewear should always be worn when working near
lead-acid batteries.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might spark
or short circuit the battery or another electrical part that may cause explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
Use the Truck PAC for jump starting lead-acid batteries only. Do not use for jump
starting dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
NEVER charge or jump start a frozen battery.
To prevent arcing, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or to contact the same
piece of metal.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a
risk of damage to the unit or injury to personnel. In addition, modifying or changing the
Truck PAC can be dangerous and will void the warranty on this product.
When using the wall charger or power extension cord, pull on the plug and never on
the wire when disconnecting.
Do not recharge the Truck PAC with a damaged wall charger or power extension cord.
Replace them immediately.
The Truck PAC may be used under any weather condition – rain, snow, hot or cold
temperatures.
Do not submerge in water.
Do not operate with flammables such as gasoline, etc.
If the Truck PAC receives a sharp blow or is otherwise damaged in any way, have it
checked by a qualified service person. If the Truck PAC is leaking battery acid, do not
ship it. Take it to the closest battery recycler in your area.
Do not disassemble the Truck PAC. Have it checked by a qualified service person.
The Truck PAC should never be left in a completely discharged state for any period of

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Portable Power Source Features
The Truck PAC provides plenty of power for starting vehicles – more than enough to
start most cars, vans, SUVs, light trucks and delivery vehicles.
The Truck PAC will power most 12VDC accessories equipped with a male 12 Volt
outlet plug. The DC outlet features automatic overload protection.
The unit features a test switch and LED lights. State of the art circuitry allows the unit
to remain continuously connected to the charger without the risk of overcharging.
Safety Features
The Truck PAC ES1224 features our exclusive AWS - Advanced Warning SystemTM
enhancement to alert the operator to unsafe jump starting conditions. For more
information regarding AWS, please see the Operating Instructions section of this
manual.
Safety storage holsters prevent accidental sparking of clamps and rotate 90° for easy
clamp removal and replacement. Always re-wrap cables and properly secure clamps
in holsters after each use.
The Truck PAC contains the latest technology with its 12 Volt sealed, non-spillable
battery and may be stored in any position.
Recharging Procedures
Note: Upon initial purchase, your Truck PAC should be charged for a minimum of 24
hours.
Figure 2. Test Button, Charging, Power Levels and Charge Complete LEDs
There are two ways to charge your Truck PAC. The recommended method is
automatic charging using the supplied wall charger. An alternative method is through
the DC power outlet using the provided 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord. This
second method is not automatic and must be monitored because the Truck PAC could
be damaged due to overcharging, plus the Voltage Selector Switch must be in the 12V
position when using this charging method.

5
Charging using the supplied wall charger (recommended method). This is the
recommended charging method because it features automatic charging, eliminating
the possibility of overcharging. With this method, the wall charger is connected to the
Truck PAC through a small charging jack (pin jack), located on the rear of the unit.
Recharging takes approximately 4 to 6 hours for each light that does not come on
when the Test Button is pressed. With this method, your Truck PAC can be left
connected to the wall charger indefinitely.
1. Insert the wall charger pin into the CHARGING JACK (located in the front of the
Truck PAC).
2. Connect the wall charger AC/DC ADAPTOR to the AC outlet (the yellow
CHARGING light will light). (See Figure 2.)
3. Allow the Truck PAC to charge until the CHARGE COMPLETE light comes on
(you can monitor the progress by checking the red POWER LEVEL lights – after
all three POWER LEVEL lights are lit the CHARGE COMPLETE light should
come on).
4. Once the CHARGE COMPLETE light comes on, charge another three to six
hours (three hours is acceptable, but to ensure maximum output capability, six
hours is preferred).
Note: The CHARGE COMPLETE LED indicates that the charging process is
complete. It may illuminate for a short period after the charger is unplugged
from the unit due to the surface charge, but this will only occur for a short time,
which is normal. To assess the unit’s readiness, monitor the Power Level LED’s.
5. If you are not planning to use your Truck PAC right away, you may leave it
connected to the wall charger. We recommend that the wall charger remain
connected to the Truck PAC when not in use.
Charging using the supplied 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord. This alternative
charging method may be used when access to an AC outlet is unavailable.
1. Start the vehicle’s engine.
2. Plug one end of the 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord into the Truck PAC
12 Volt outlet and the other end into a vehicle 12 Volt outlet. Set the Voltage
Selector Switch to 12V mode.
3. Press the Test Button once every hour to check the POWER LEVEL. When all
of the red lights come on, charge the Truck PAC another 1 to 2 hours to ensure
a complete recharge.
Note: DO NOT OVERCHARGE! This is not an automatic method of charging
the Truck PAC. You must frequently monitor the charging process to ensure the
unit is not overcharged.
WARNING: Overcharging the Truck PAC when using this charging
method can create explosive gasses which could result in property
damage and personal injury. DO NOT OVERCHARGE!

the vehicle’s electrical system (headlights, dome light, radio, etc.) and set the
Truck PAC’s Voltage Selector Switch to match vehicle’s voltage.
Used as an Alternative Power Supply for Vehicles - In 12V Mode Only
Your Truck PAC is an essential tool for all who replace automobile batteries.
Most vehicles have electronic components with memory, such as alarm systems,
computers, radios, phones, etc. and when the vehicle’s battery is replaced, the
memory is lost. However, if the Male-Male extension cord is plugged from the Truck
PAC to the 12 Volt outlet on the vehicle, the memories can be saved.
Note: To use the Truck PAC for this purpose, the chosen outlet must be live when the
vehicle is turned OFF. On some vehicles, 12 Volt outlets are deactivated when the
vehicle is turned OFF.
Used as a Multipurpose Power Supply
Your Truck PAC is also a portable power source for all 12VDC accessories equipped
with a male 12 Volt plug. The DC outlet on the Truck PAC has automatic overload
protection.
When your Truck PAC is used with a DC to AC power inverter, it can operate
appliances normally powered by 120 Vac or 220 Vac. Recommended inverter for the
portable power source is 300 watts maximum. For more information, contact your
nearest Truck PAC dealer.

charger is connected to the Truck PAC (yellow light is on).
Answer: Possible defective battery or faulty breaker. Try using a device (light, TV,
etc.) with a 12V plug on it to see if it works. If it operates, the Truck PAC
breaker is OK and the battery is the problem.
Problem: All of the lights come on when the charger is plugged into the Truck PAC,
but when the charger is unplugged and the test button pressed, no lights
come on.
Answer: Your Truck PAC has a defective battery which must be replaced.
Problem: The Truck PAC is fully charged but has no power.
Answer: Check where the wire meets the jaw on the Truck PAC clamp. Make sure
they are well crimped.
Problem: When trying to use an accessory through the 12 Volt outlet on the Truck
PAC, I heard a clicking sound coming from inside the Truck PAC.
Answer: The accessory is drawing too many amps, causing the internal circuit
breaker to cycle ON and OFF. There may be a problem with the
accessory (such as a short circuit) that is causing the overload condition.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Existen dos maneras de recargar la unidad Truck PAC. El método recomendado es la
carga automática con el cargador de pared provisto con la unidad. El método
recomendado es la carga automática con el cargador de pared provisto con la unidad.
(no válido para 24 Voltio Modelo ES8000). Este segundo método no es automático y
debe supervisarse porque la unidad Truck PAC podría dañarse con una sobrecarga,
además de que el selector de voltaje debe estar en la posición de 12 V cuando utilice
este método de carga.
Recarga con el cargador de pared provisto (método recomendado). Éste es el método
de carga recomendado ya que, al brindar una carga automática, se elimina la
posibilidad de sobrecarga. Con este método, el cargador de pared se conecta a la
unidad Truck PAC mediante un pequeño conector de carga (conector de clavija),
ubicado en la parte posterior de la unidad. La recarga tarda entre 4 y 6 horas
aproximadamente por cada indicador luminoso que no se encienda al presionar el
botón de prueba. Con este método, la unidad Truck PAC puede dejarse conectada al
cargador de pared por tiempo indeterminado.
1. Inserte la clavija del cargador de pared en el CONECTOR DE CARGA (ubicado
en la parte frente de la unidad Truck PAC).
2. Conecte el ADAPTADOR DE CA/CD del cargador de pared al tomacorriente de
CA (se encenderá el indicador amarillo de CARGA EN CURSO) (consulte el
gráfico 2).
3. Deje que la unidad Truck PAC se cargue hasta que se encienda el indicador de
unidad CARGA COMPLETA (puede supervisar el avance de la carga mediante
los indicadores rojos de NIVEL DE ENERGÍA: cuando se enciendan los tres
indicadores de NIVEL DE ENERGÍA, deberá encenderse el indicador de unidad
CARGA COMPLETA).
4. Una vez que se enciende el indicador de unidad CARGA COMPLETA, cargue la
unidad por entre tres y seis horas más (tres horas es aceptable pero, para
asegurarse de obtener la máxima capacidad de salida, es preferible seis
horas).
Nota: La indicador de unidad CARGA COMPLETA DIRIGIDO indica que el
proceso que carga es completo. Puede iluminar por un período corto después
que la unidad se quita del corcel debido a la carga de superficie, pero esto
hace sólo ocurre para un tiempo corto, que es normal. Para valorar la prontitud
de la unidad, controle el NIVEL DE ENERGÍA.
5. Si no va a utilizar la unidad Truck PAC de inmediato, puede dejarla conectada
al cargador de pared. Se recomienda que el cargador quede conectado a la
unidad Truck PAC cuando no esté en uso.
Recarga con el cable de extensión de 12 voltios macho-macho. Este método de carga
alternativo puede usarse cuando no tenga acceso a un tomacorriente de CA.

INSTRUCCIONES DE OPERACIÓN
Lista de verificación de seguridad
Siempre realice este paso antes del uso para asegurar una operación segura
1. Revise que los dos tapones de ventilación estén en buenas condiciones, fijos
completamente y que el material GORE-TEX® blanco no se haya desplazado.
ADVERTENCIA: si los tapones están fuera de su lugar o falta el material
blanco o éste está suelto, significa que se activó el sistema de ventilación
y por ende que las baterías están dañadas PONGA DE INMEDIATO la
unidad fuera de servicio y envíela a Clore Automotive para repararla.
Revise la sección de Garantía para más detalles.
2. Verifique el selector para asegurarse que está en la posición de OFF.
3. Verifique que las pinzas y los cables estén en buen estado. Algunas de las
señales de que las pinzas están dañadas son las siguientes:
- Marcas de quemaduras en los dientes
- Mangos de las pinzas dañados
- Resortes de las pinzas dañados
- Cables dañados con los hilos de cobre expuestos (el forro aislante puede
estar dañado, cortado o ausente)
4. Verifique la carcasa para asegurase de que no está abombada (esto es síntoma
de que las baterías están dañadas).
5. Verifique las cubiertas (donde deben estar colocadas las pinzas) para
asegurarse de que estén en buen estado. Éstas fueron diseñadas para que las
pinzas no entren en contacto entre ellas o con un elemento conductor en
común.
Al verificar estos cinco puntos antes de cada uso, garantizará la segura operación de
su Truck PAC e incrementará su vida útil
Uso como arrancador de emergencia
Nota: Para un rendimiento óptimo, no guarde la unidad Truck PAC a temperaturas
inferiores a los 50° F (10° C) cuando lo utilice como arrancador de emergencia. Nunca

arranque ni recargue una batería congelada.
Advanced Warning System (AWS)TM: DISPOSITIVO DE ADVERTENCIA
DE RIESGO
Su Truck PAC está equipado con nuestro nuevo sistema de advertencia de riesgos
AWS, el cual se diseñó para proporcionar una alerta anticipada a los errores comunes
en el arranque de emergencia. El aparato contiene un dispositivo que sonará una
alarma auditiva si el sistema AWS detecta una condición indeseable durante el
proceso de arranque de emergencia.
Si la alarma del AWS suena en cualquier momento del proceso de arranque de
emergencia, desconecte el TruckPAC de inmediato. Recuerde siempre practicar el
arranque de emergencia con seguridad y desconecte primero la pinza que hace tierra.
Instrucciones para arranques de emergencia
1. Use la unidad en un espacio bien ventilado.
2. Protéjase los ojos. Utilice siempre protección para los ojos al trabajar cerca de
baterías.
3. Antes de realizar un arranque de emergencia, revise la información de este
manual de instrucciones y del manual de instrucciones/seguridad que
proporciona el fabricante del vehículo que va a arrancar.
4. Apague el motor antes de conectar el arrancador de emergencia al vehículo.
5. Confirme el voltaje del vehículo.
6. Asegúrese de que el selector de voltaje del Truck PAC esté en la posición de
OFF antes de conectarlo al vehículo. Conéctelo al vehículo.
7. Con el interruptor del selector del Truck PAC en la posición de OFF, sujete la
pinza positiva (roja +) al terminal positivo de la batería del vehículo (para lograr
una puesta a tierra negativa), o un punto de partida alterno de vehículo como
recomendado por el fabricante de vehículo.
8. Sujete la pinza negativa (negra –) a la estructura del vehículo (puesta a tierra).
9. Seleccione el voltaje del Truck PAC colocando el selector en el modo deseado
que coincida con el voltaje del vehículo.
ADVERTENCIA: si no hace coincidir el voltaje del Truck PAC con el del
vehículo, puede causar una explosión, dañar el producto y/o causar
heridas físicas.
Si la alarma auditiva del AWS suena luego de haber seleccionado el voltaje del
Truck PAC, DESCONÉCTELO DEL VEHÍCULO INMEDIATAMENTE (retire la
pinza del negativo de la tierra del vehiculo).
10. Asegúrese de que los cables no se enganchen con las partes móviles del
motor (correas, ventiladores, etc.).
11. Manténgase alejado de las baterías al arrancar de emergencia un motor.
12. Ponga en marcha el vehículo (encienda el motor).
Nota: Si el motor no enciende en 6 segundos, deje que la unidad Truck PAC
se enfríe durante 3 minutos antes de intentar arrancar el vehículo nuevamente.

20
De lo contrario, la unidad Truck PAC puede dañarse.
13. Cuando el vehículo se encienda, desconéctelo de la siguiente manera: primero
la pinza del negativo (-) del chasis del vehículo y colóquela de nuevo en su
cubierta; luego desconecte la pinza del positivo (+) y colóquela de nuevo en su
cubierta. A continuación, coloque el selector de voltaje en la posición de OFF.
Sistema de advertencia anticipada (AWS): Causas de activación de la alarma
1. Conexión incorrecta causa una condición de polaridad invertida. Si su Truck
PAC está conectado incorrectamente, como por ejemplo con la polaridad
invertida, el dispositivo detector del AWS sonará de inmediato al completar la
conexión al vehículo.
2. Selección de voltaje del Truck PAC incorrecta cuando está conectado a un
vehiculo de 24 voltios. Si su Truck PAC está conectado a un vehículo de 24
voltios y usted coloca el selector de voltaje del Truck PAC en el modo de 12
voltios, le sonará la alarma del detector del sistema AWS.
3. Conexión a una batería completamente descargada, mientras todavía hay una
carga en el sistema eléctrico del vehiculo. Si ocurre este caso, retire la carga
que está en el sistema eléctrico del vehículo (luz alta, luz del interior, radio, etc.)
y coloque el selector de voltaje del Truck PAC según el voltaje del vehículo.
Uso como suministro alternativo de energía para vehículos -
Sólo en modo de 12 Voltios
La unidad Truck PAC es una herramienta esencial para toda persona que vaya a
reemplazar una batería de auto. La mayoría de los vehículos cuentan con
componentes electrónicos con memoria, entre ellos, sistemas de alarma,
computadoras, radios, teléfonos, etc. Al reemplazar la batería del vehículo, se pierden
los datos de la memoria. Sin embargo, si el cable de extensión conecta la unidad
Truck PAC y el tomacorriente de 12 voltios del vehículo, la memoria puede quedar
intacta.
Nota: Para utilizar la unidad Truck PAC con este fin, el tomacorriente elegido debe
permanecer activo aun cuando el motor esté apagado. En algunos vehículos, los
tomacorrientes de 12 voltios se desactivan al apagar el motor.
Uso como fuente de alimentación multipropósito
La unidad Truck PAC también es una fuente de alimentación portátil para accesorios
de 12 voltios de CD que cuenten con un enchufe macho de 12 voltios. El
tomacorriente de CD de la unidad Truck PAC brinda protección automática contra
sobrecargas.
Al usar la unidad Truck PAC con un inversor de corriente, puede alimentar aparatos
eléctricos que normalmente funcionan con 120 voltios de CA o 220 voltios de CA. Se
recomienda que el inversor de corriente para la fuente de alimentación portátil no
supere los 300 vatios. Si desea obtener más información, póngase en contacto con el
distribuidor de Truck PAC más cercano.
