CAUTION: Always run a test to establish
whether the converter will operate a
particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload, the
converter is designed to automatically
shut down. This safety feature prevents
damaging the converter while testing
devices and equipment with the 400-watt
range.
If powering more than one device, start
one device at a time to avoid a power
surge and/or converter overload. The
surge load of each device should not
exceed the converter's continuous
operation wattage rate.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the power
converter to operate a battery charger,
monitor the temperature of the battery
charger for about 10 minutes. If the
battery charger becomes abnormally
warm, disconnect it from the converter
immediately.
NOTE: You can use an extension cord
from the converter to the device without
signifi cantly decreasing the power being
generated by the converter. For best
operating results, the extension cord should
be no longer than 50 feet (15.24 meters).
IMPORTANT: This converter uses a
modifi ed sine waveform (diagram A)
which is not quite the same as power
company electricity (diagram B). For the
following devices, we strongly recommend
that you use caution and check the
device's manual to make sure it is
compatible with modifi ed sine waveform.
1. Switch mode power supplies
2. Linear power supplies
3. Class 2 transformers
4. Line fi lter capacitors
5. Shaded pole motors
6. Fan motors
7. Microwave ovens
8. Fluorescent and high intensity lamps
(with a ballast)
9. Transformerless battery chargers
Using the converter with any of these
devices may cause the device to run
warmer or overheat.

6.6 Powering a 110V AC Device
1. Ensure the battery clips are securely
on the storage holders.
2. Make sure the 110V AC device to be
operated is turned OFF.
3. Plug the 110V AC device into the AC
power outlet on the back of the jump
starter and place the converter switch in
the "120V" position. The GREEN LED
will light, indicating the converter is on.
4. Turn the device on.
5. If the device does not operate properly
when fi rst connected to the converter,
push the converter rocker switch ON,
OFF, and ON again in quick succession.
If this procedure is not successful, it is
likely that the converter does not have
the required capacity to operate the
device intended.
6. To disconnect: Turn off the device,
place the converter switch in the "O"
(OFF) position, then unplug the device
from the 110V AC power outlet.
7. Charge the jump starter as soon as
possible after each use.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Incorrect operation of your converter may
result in damage and personal injury.
The converter output is 110V AC and can
shock or electrocute the same as any
ordinary household AC wall outlet.
