1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the VECTOR
®
JUMP-STARTER, AIR
COMPRESSOR and 12 VOLT DC POWER SUPPLY. This compact jump-starter is unique
in the amount of energy it can supply for its size. The internal battery is a high density
sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and delivers energy comparable to full sized
ordinary jump-starters. Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure optimum
performance and avoid damage to the unit or items that you are using it with.
A standard feature of this model is a high pressure, self-contained tire compressor
with lighted gauge. This compressor allows quick inflation of vehicle tires to 260 PSI
and with supplied adapter nozzles, inflates beach balls, rafts and virtually any low-
pressure inflatables. Three different sized nozzles allow for easy connection to all
popular inflatables.
The VECTOR
®
JUMP-STARTER & 12 VOLT DC POWER SUPPLY is a
compact, durable and portable jump-start system for vehicles and boats that have a
standard 12 Volt battery system. This self-contained, rechargeable system will start
most vehicles and boats without the need for a host vehicle or 110/120 Volt AC
power supply. It can also be used as a safe, portable source of 12 Volt DC electric
power in remote locations and/or emergency situations. It is ideal for use with Vector
12 Volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable products and small MAXX® DC/AC
Power Inverters.
Use VECTOR
®
JUMP-STARTER to:
• Jump-start any engine system with a standard 12 Volt DC battery: boat; truck; car;
airplane; RV; personal watercraft; snowmobile; garden tractor; gasoline engine
generator, etc.
• Operate: 12 Volt DC fans, inflators, fluorescent work lights, cellular phones (can
quick-charge a cellular phone by using the phone’s 12 Volt DC adapter cord),
spotlights, TVs, portable radios, cassette or CD players, and more.
Operate: Certain 110/120 Volt AC Accessories (requires a Vector 12 volt power
inverter, sold separately).
The VECTOR
®
JUMP-STARTER SYSTEM has an easy-to-read series of LED (Light Emit-
ting Diode) charge indicators that show when the unit is fully charged, or the level of
charge in the battery. Charge level can be viewed when the charge status push button
is pressed. A 12 Volt DC cigarette lighter-type socket is provided for use with
appliances that can operate from a vehicle cigarette lighter. This allows maximum
portability and utility when the POWER ON BOARD is used in remote locations.
VECTOR
®
JUMP-STARTER can be recharged from any standard 110/120 Volt AC
power source using the supplied AC Recharge Adapter. The adapter barrel connector
attaches to the Recharge Port on the top panel of the jump-starter. A built-in 12 Volt
appliance socket and the appropriate DC/DC charging/adapter cord is used to
recharge the battery from another 12 volt DC source. When pressed, the CHARGE
STATUS button will show the battery power level status (from Low to Full). The green
LED full indicator illuminates when the unit is fully recharged and charging can be
discontinued. An ON/OFF switch operates the built-in work/emergency light.
