120 VOLT AC PORTABLE POwER SUPPLy
This unit has a built-in Power Inverter that provides up to 200 watts of AC power. This inverter is an electronic device that converts
low voltage DC (direct current) electricity from a battery to 120 volts AC (alternating current) household power. It converts power in
two stages. The first stage is a DC-to-DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter input to 145 volts DC. The
second stage is a MOSFET bridge stage that converts the high voltage DC into 120 volts, 60 Hz AC.
Power Inverter Output waveform
The AC output waveform of this inverter is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped waveform that has characteristics similar
to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power
supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and small motors.
Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption
in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated is below 200 watts. If the power consumption is
rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to determine the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and
heaters), which require far more wattage than the inverter can deliver. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more
current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.
CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE DEVICES
• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may
damage the inverter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine if it produces excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with this inverter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The inverter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.
Protective features
The inverter monitors the following conditions:
Low internal battery voltage: The inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage drops too low, as this can
harm the battery.
High internal battery voltage: The inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage is too high, as this can harm
the unit.
Thermal shutdown protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the unit becomes overheated.
Overload/short circuit protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when an overload or short circuit occurs.
IMPORTANT NOTES: The inverter power indicator will light solid red when the unit is functioning properly. The inverter power
indicator will flash red to indicate that one of the above fault conditions is present before automatic shutdown occurs. Should this
occur, take the following steps:
1. Disconnect all appliances from the unit.
2. Press the inverter power switch to turn the inverter off (O).
3. Allow the unit to cool down for several minutes.
4. Make sure the combined rating for all appliances plugged into the unit is 200 watts or lower and that appliance cord(s) and
plug(s) are not damaged.
5. Assure there is adequate ventilation around the unit before proceeding.
Using the 120 Volt AC Outlet
The 120 volt AC outlet is located at the front of unit (refer to the "Features" section to locate). This outlet supports a maximum
power draw of 200 watts.
1. Press the inverter power switch to turn the inverter on (I). The inverter power indicator will light red to indicate the 120 volt
AC outlet is ready to use.
2. Insert the 120 volt AC plug from the appliance into the 120 volt AC outlet.
3. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
4. Periodically check the unit' s battery status by pressing the battery power level button. (Two red and one green battery status
indicators will light to indicate a full battery. If only one red battery status indicator lights it indicates that the unit needs to be
recharged.)
12 VOLT DC PORTABLE POwER SUPPLy
The 12 volt DC accessory outlet is located under a protective cover on the left hand side of the front panel (refer to the Features
section to locate). This portable power source is for use with all 12 volt DC accessories equipped with a male accessory outlet plug
that are rated up to 5 amps.

1. Lift up the cover of the unit 's 12 volt DC outlet.
2. Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance into the 12 volt accessory outlet on the unit. DO NOT ExCEED A 5 AMP LOAD.
3. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
4. Periodically check the unit' s battery status by pressing the battery status button. (Two red and one green battery status
indicator lights indicate a full battery. Only one red battery status indicator lights indicates that the unit needs to be
recharged.)
USB POwER PORT
The USB power port is under the same protective cover as the 12 volt DC outlet on the left hand side of the front panel (refer to the
Features section to locate)..
1. Push the USB power button to turn the USB port on and the USB power indicator will light.
2. Lift up the cover of the USB charging port.
3. Plug the USB-powered device into the USB charging port and operate normally.
4. Periodically check the unit' s battery status by pressing the battery power level button. (Two red and one green battery status
indicators will light to indicate a full battery. If only one red battery status indicator lights it indicates that the unit needs to be
recharged.)
Notes:
This unit' s USB Power Port does not support data communication. It only provides 5 volts/500mA DC power to an external USB-powered device.
Make sure the USB Power Button is in the off position when the unit is being recharged or stored.
Some household USB-powered electronics will not operate with this unit.
EMERgENCy AREA LIgHT
The area light is controlled by the Area Light power switch on top of the light. Make sure the area light is turned off when the unit
is being recharged or stored.
PORTABLE COMPRESSOR
The built-in 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. The
compressor hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel on the back of the unit. The On/Off Switch is located on the rear of
the unit under the air pressure gauge. 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 hatch and if required, fitting an appropriate nozzle to the
air hose. Return hose to the storage compartment after use.
Inflating Tires or Products with Valve Stems
1. Lift the thumb latch on the SureFit™ nozzle (chuck) and fit it onto the valve stem.
2. Ensure SureFit™ nozzle connector is pushed on to valve stem as far as possible before closing thumb latch.
3. Make sure latch is secure.
4. Turn on the Compressor power switch.
5. Check pressure with the pressure gauge.
6. When desired pressure is reached, open thumb latch and remove the SureFit ™ nozzle connector from the valve stem.
7. Turn off Compressor power switch.
8. Allow unit to cool before storing away.
9. Store compressor hose and tire fitting in storage compartment.
Inflating Other Inflatables without Valve Stems
Inflation of other items requires use of one of the adapters (nozzles).
1. Select the appropriate adapter nozzle.
2. Lift the thumb latch on the SureFit ™ nozzle, insert the adapter (i.e. needle) into the SureFit ™ nozzle connector and close
thumb latch.
3. Insert adapter (i.e., needle) into item to be inflated.
4. Turn on the Compressor power switch — inflate to desired pressure or fullness.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Small items such as volleyballs, footballs, etc. inflate very rapidly. Do not over-inflate.
5. Remove adapter.
6. Switch the Compressor power switch off.
7. Allow unit to cool before storing away.
8. Store compressor hose and tire fitting in storage compartment.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN
THE "SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPRESSORS" SECTION OF THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use, we
recommend that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.
