Jump-Start Cables and Protection
ElectroMate is equipped with extra heavy duty 78 inch (2 meters) long, 9mm
2 diameter cables and heavy duty clamps. The cable storage area and cables
are shown in Figure 3. To release clamps from unit squeeze handles.

The heavy duty manual safety switch turns the jump-start cables on and off.
With the safety switch turned OFF, three indicators are enabled.
(See Figure 4)
1. An audible polarity alarm is enabled.
2. A Polarity Correct LED is enabled (Figure 2).
3. A Reverse Polarity Alarm LED is enabled (Figure 2).
The audible alarm sounds and the Reverse Polarity LED lights if the cables are
connected to the wrong polarity. The polarity correct LED lights when the cables
and clamps are properly connected.
WARNING:
The safety switch is NEVER to be turned ON when the reverse
polarity alarms indicate the polarity is incorrect. The cables position must
be reversed and the correct polarity indicator must be lit before the safety
switch is turned ON.
ElectroMate is supplied with a fully automatic 12 Volt 10 ampere battery charger
(Vector Part No. VEC077EM). The charger is stored in the Charger Storage Hatch
and must be removed from the Storage Hatch for use. The VEC077EM is a high
frequency, three stage charger that can either be permanently connected to
ElectroMate or connected to a battery clamp adapter cable for charging other
12 Volt batteries. A series of LED indicators on the charger enables the user to
monitor the charging process. The charger output will only be turned on when the
battery to be charged is connected with correct polarity.
Another feature is the high pressure, removable Air Compressor.
This Compressor allows quick inflation of tires, sports balls and other inflatables.
An easy to read analog pressure gauge allows accurate pressure readings, so
there’s no guesswork about critical tire pressures. Now there is no excuse for
driving on under-or over-inflated tires risking safe operation. A Compressor On/
Off rocker switch is located to the left of the gauge and the front of the compressor
controls operation. The AIR COMPRESSOR HOSE AND TIRE CHUCK are stored
under the compressor. A DC cable connects the compressor to any DC accessory
socket for operation away from ElectroMate. (Figure 1)
A removable 8 watt Fluorescent Lamp operates from ElectroMate’s self-con-
tained battery. It can be powered from either an ElectroMate DC outlet
or it can be moved and plugged into any 12 Volt power source. (Figure 1)
