6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Jump Starting a Vehicle

  1. Ensure the jump starter is at least 50% charged.
  2. Turn off the vehicle's ignition and all accessories.
  3. Connect the red (+) clamp to the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal.
  4. Connect the black (-) clamp to the vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal or a solid, unpainted metal part of the engine block.
  5. Plug the smart clamp connector into the jump starter's port. The indicator light on the smart clamp should turn green, indicating a correct connection. If it's red or flashing, check connections and battery voltage.
  6. Start the vehicle. If it doesn't start immediately, wait 30 seconds before trying again. Do not crank for more than 3 seconds per attempt.
  7. Once the vehicle starts, immediately disconnect the smart clamp connector from the jump starter.
  8. Remove the black (-) clamp first, then the red (+) clamp from the vehicle battery.

6.2 Using the Air Compressor (Ep177 Model Only)

The Ep177 model features a built-in air compressor capable of delivering up to 150PSI.

  1. Connect the air hose to the tire valve stem. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leakage.
  2. Power on the jump starter. The current tire pressure will be displayed.
  3. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the desired pressure.
  4. Press the inflation button to start the compressor. The compressor will automatically stop once the preset pressure is reached.
  5. Disconnect the air hose from the tire valve.

Note: For continuous use, it is recommended to rest the compressor for 10 minutes after every 10 minutes of operation to prevent overheating. A full charge can inflate 195/60 R15 tires from 0 to full approximately 4-5 times.
