2. If the unit detects that the alternator is good, the backlit LCD screen will display the following:
The Battery Status Icon, Alternator Icon, and "ALT GOOD" will light solid.
3. If the unit detects that the alternator is out of typical voltage range, the backlit LCD screen will display the following:
The Battery Status Icon, Alternator Icon and "ALT" will light solid. The Fault Icon will flash.
4. Press the Alternator Check Button again to stop the test and turn off the unit.
IMPORTANT: Always turn the unit off when not in use. Recharge this unit fully after each use.
Notes:
The unit may detect that the alternator is out of typical voltage range because someone has added a number of accessory loads on the charging
system, thereby increasing current demand from the alternator. MAKE SURE THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS RATED TO SUPPORT THE APPLICATION.
This check may not be accurate for every make, manufacturer and model of vehicle. Check only 12 volt systems.
PORTABLE COMPRESSOR
The built-in 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables.
A nozzle adaptor is supplied that screws onto the end of the SureFit
compressor hose with tire fitting is stored in the compressor hose storage compartment. Refer to the "Features" illustration
for locations of compressor hose. The Compressor Power Button and Compressor Pressure Control Buttons are located on the
control panel on the front of the unit.
Before proceeding, check the unit's battery status on the LCD screen. Four solid bars in the battery icon indicates a full battery.
When the battery level is nearly empty with only one solid bar, the unit MUST be recharged before use or the unit's built-in low
voltage protection will activate. The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of time before automatic shut down.
The compressor may be used by removing the air hose from the storage hatch and if required, fitting the nozzle adapter to the
air hose. The compressor is capable of inflating up to 120 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. The compressor can operate
long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged. Return hose to the storage compartment
after use.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Jump Starter Power Button has been turned off before attempting to use the unit as a Compressor.
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.
CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
When the compressor is operated at a low PSI, the unit may start in low and gradually rev up. When the compressor is
operated at higher PSIs, the unit may operate normally for several minutes, then rev down for a few minutes before returning
to normal operation. This feature protects the unit from overheating during normal use. In any event, do not operate
compressor continuously for extended periods of time (approximately 10 minutes, depending on ambient temperatures), as
Next, load the alternator by turning on as many accessories as possible (except for A/C and
nozzle at the free end of the compressor hose. The
