Setup and Initial Charge

Before first use, and for optimal performance, the unit should be fully charged. It is recommended to charge the unit every 30 days when not in use, and immediately overnight after each use.

1. Locate the integrated 120V charging adapter (charging cube) on the unit.
2. Plug the charging cube into a standard household extension cord (not included).
3. Connect the extension cord to a live 120V AC outlet.
4. Monitor the LED battery level indicators on the unit. All lights should be lit to indicate a full charge.

Operating Instructions

Jump Starting a Vehicle

1. Ensure the STANLEY FATMAX J7CS is fully charged.
2. Connect the red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
3. Connect the black negative (-) clamp to a non-moving metal part of the vehicle's chassis, away from the battery. (A reverse polarity alarm will sound if an improper connection is made.)
4. Turn on the jump starter switch on the unit.
5. Attempt to start the vehicle. If the vehicle does not start immediately, wait a few minutes before trying again.
6. Once the vehicle starts, turn off the jump starter switch.
7. Disconnect the black negative (-) clamp first, then the red positive (+) clamp.

Maintenance

• Regular Charging: For optimal performance and battery longevity, fully charge the unit every 30 days when not in use.
• Post-Use Charging: After each use, especially after jump-starting or extended air compressor use, charge the unit immediately overnight.
• Storage: Store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cleaning: Wipe the unit with a dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

• Unit Not Charging:
  • Ensure the integrated charging cube is properly connected to a live 120V AC outlet.
  • Check if the extension cord (if used) is functioning correctly.
  • Verify that the unit's charging indicator lights are active.
• Vehicle Not Starting After Jump Attempt:
  • Check clamp connections: Ensure positive (+) is on positive (+) and negative (-) is on a clean chassis point. The reverse polarity alarm indicates incorrect connection.
  • Allow the unit to rest for a few minutes before attempting another jump.
  • Ensure the vehicle's battery terminals are clean and free of corrosion.
  • The vehicle's battery may be severely discharged or faulty, requiring professional assistance.
• Air Compressor Not Functioning / Low Pressure:
  • Ensure the air compressor power switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Check that the SureFit™ nozzle is securely attached to the tire valve.
  • The compressor has a 10-minute auto shut-off. If it recently ran for 10 minutes, allow it to cool down before re-attempting.
  • Verify the unit has sufficient charge.
