Setup

Before using your STANLEY POWERHORSE, ensure you understand its features and proper placement.

Unpacking:

• Remove the power center from its packaging.
• Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.

Placement:

• Place the power center on a stable, dry, and non-conductive surface.
• The upright design is intended to keep outlets elevated from the floor, protecting them from dust and debris.
• Ensure the power cord can reach a grounded 125V outlet without tension or obstruction.
• Avoid placing the unit in areas where it may be exposed to excessive moisture, heat, or direct sunlight.

Operating Instructions

The STANLEY POWERHORSE is designed for straightforward operation.

Connecting Devices:

• Plug the power center's 6-foot cord into a standard 125V grounded wall outlet.
• Identify the desired outlets. The unit features 5 standard outlets on one side and 3 transformer-spaced outlets on the other, designed for larger power adapters.
• Lift the individual protective covers on the desired outlets.
• Insert the plugs of your electronic devices or tools firmly into the outlets.
• Ensure the total wattage of all connected devices does not exceed 1875 watts.

Power On/Off:

• The power center is equipped with a master ON/OFF switch, which also functions as a circuit breaker.
• To supply power to the outlets, ensure the switch is in the "ON" position.
• To cut power to all connected devices, switch it to the "OFF" position.

Circuit Breaker Reset:

• If the power center becomes overloaded, the integrated circuit breaker will trip, cutting power to all outlets. The switch will move to the "OFF" position.
• To reset, first unplug some devices to reduce the load.
• Then, push the master switch back to the "ON" position.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your power center.

Cleaning:

• Always unplug the power center from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces.
• Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosols, or solvents, as these can damage the unit or create an electrical hazard.
• Ensure no dust or debris accumulates inside the outlets. Use a dry, soft brush if necessary.

Storage:

• When not in use, store the power center in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• The unit features a tough, durable folding design and a rubberized comfort grip for easy portability and compact storage.
• The angled design allows for wrapping an extra extension cord (sold separately) around its sides for neat storage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your STANLEY POWERHORSE, refer to the following common solutions:

No Power to Outlets:

• Check the master switch: Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position. If it has tripped to "OFF", it indicates an overload.
• Reduce load: Unplug some devices from the power center. The total wattage of connected devices must not exceed 1875 watts.
• Reset the circuit breaker: After reducing the load, push the master switch back to the "ON" position.
• Check wall outlet: Ensure the wall outlet itself is functioning by plugging in another known working device.

Loose Connections:

• Ensure all plugs are firmly inserted into the power center's outlets and the power center's cord is firmly in the wall outlet.

Damaged Unit:

• If the unit appears physically damaged (e.g., frayed cord, cracked casing), discontinue use immediately and contact customer support. Do not attempt to repair.
