GENERAL OPERATION
Charging /Recharging Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and
long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time
and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic
charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is
not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at
least every 30 days.
IMPORTANT: If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery status
LEDs illuminate as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a
charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high
impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging for a
periodof40hoursusingthebuilt-inACchargerbeforeuse.
WARNING: Never attempt to use the AC and DC charging methods at
the same time.
Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it
before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 40 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy
discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this
can slow the recharging process.
CAUTION: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE: Failure to keep the battery
charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting
performance.

Portable Compressor The built-in 12 Volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vessel
or vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. The compressor
hose with tire fitting is stored in the compressor hose storage compartment.
The compressor on/off switch is located on the front panel of the unit to
the right of the air pressure gauge (refer to the Features section to locate).
The compressor can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires
before the battery must be recharged.
The compressor may be used by removing the air hose from the storage
compartment and, if required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the air hose.
Return hose to the storage compartment after use.
