POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE
The portable power is a power source for
all 12V DC accessories that are equipped
with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power
outages and on fishing or camping trips.
NOTE:
Do not power a 12V device with
the portable power while charging the

accessory plug into the 12V DC
accessory outlet.
2.
Open the protective cover of the DC
power outlet on the portable power .
3.
Plug the 12V DC device into the DC
power outlet and turn on the 12V DC
device (if required).
4.
When finished, turn off the DC device
(if required) and unplug from the DC
power outlet.
CAUTION:
Do not use the portable power
to run appliances that draw more than
20A DC.
NOTE:
Extended operation of a 12V DC
device may result in excessive battery
drain. Recharge the portable power
immediately after unplugging the 12V
DC device.

USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
WARNING.
Read the instructions of the
product being inflated before using the
compressor. Avoid overinflation; do not
exceed the manufacturer’s recommended
pressures. Do not leave the air
compressor unattended during use.
1.
Remove the air compressor hose from
the storage cleats.
2.
Connect the adapter to the valve
stem by threading it onto the end. If
necessary, use one of the additional
adapters.
3.
Turn ON the inflator power switch
and inflate to the desired pressure or
fullness.
NOTE:
To prevent overheating, the
compressor has built-in thermal protection
that will turn the compressor off before it
overheats. If the compressor shuts off,
wait a few minutes and it will automatically
restart when the compressor cools.
