WARNING INFORMATION
This manual contains information regarding safety, operation, maintenance
and storage of this product.
Please carefully read and understand this manual before using this product
to avoid possible injury or property damage.
Keep this manual for future reference.
Risk of personal injury. ALWAYS wear approved eye
protection when using this equipment.
Shock Hazard. Keep Away from Children. Do not insert foreign
objects into the DC power socket, AC power socket or the
ventilation slots. Do not expose the unit to water, snow, spray
or excessive moisture.
Risk of fire, explosion or burns. This unit has no user-
serviceable parts within the housing. Have a qualied
technician complete any service work.
Fire Hazard. Never allow the jumpstart’s red and black cable
clamps to touch each other or a common metal conductor.
Such contact could cause damage to the unit and/or create
a sparking/explosion hazard.
Fire Hazard. Connect red clamp to the positive (+) battery
terminal. The black clamp should be attached to the engine
block of stalled vehicle. Do not connect black clamp to the
negative (-) battery terminal. Doing so could cause damage
to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
Fire Hazard. Do not try to jumpstart a battery for more than
six seconds. Before repeating the jump starting cycle, allow the
unit to cool for three minutes.
Risk of fire, explosion, or burns. The jumpstarting cable
connection has enough energy to cause a spark, create an
explosion hazard or cause burns if a metal object contacts both
terminals. Do not turn on the jumpstarting function without
having cables properly attached to the vehicle’s battery.

than 104°F (40°C).
Explosion Hazard: Do not use this unit where there are
combustible fumes or gases. Do not use in an enclosure
containing automotive-style lead acid batteries.
Risk of personal injury or death: Make sure the
jumpstart is safely secured when transporting. If the unit is not
properly secured during an accident the unit could hit the driver
or passengers.
Risk of personal injury or damage to equipment: Do not
exceed recommended air pressure of object being inated.

Caution: Contains a sealed lead acid battery. Keep dry.
Do not drop. Do not charge battery if frozen. See owners guide
for proper charging procedures. Dispose of battery according to
local regulations.
Warning: The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal.
Do not use the inverter with the following equipment:
- Small battery-operated products such as rechargeable
ashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and night-lights
that are plugged directly into an AC receptacle to
recharge.
- Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in
powered-hand tools. These chargers will have warning
labels stating that dangerous voltages are present at the
charger’s battery terminals.
If you are uncertain that non-sinusoidal power will cause
damage to an item, check with the item’s manufacturer before
using with the AC inverter.

EWARNING E
Always wear eye protection when using your 140 PSI
compressor unit. Always follow vehicle / tire manufacturer’s
recommendation for proper inflation. DO NOT OVER-INFLATE.
When inflating tires, always lock the air hose connector over the
inflation valve before moving the “ON/OFF” switch to the “ON” position.
Air pressure already present will be registered on the built-in air pressure
gauge. Run compressor for only 10 minute intervals, allowing 10 minute
rests between intervals to prevent the compressor from overheating.
NOTE: Failure to follow these instructions may cause
permanent injury or damage.

OPERATION
Read all operating instructions before using your PS5000M.
This section will guide you through:
• Charging the PS5000M before initial use
• Standard recharging of the PS5000M
• Jumpstarting a vehicle
• Using the integrated work lamp
• Using the compressor
• Operating 12V DC outlet
Charging the PS5000M before initial use
Your PS5000M will need to be charged until the Green Full Charge LED
illuminates before initial use. The initial charge could take up to 72 hours.
Do not use the PS5000M as a power source while recharging.
Use the following step-by step guide to recharging your unit.
Standard Recharging of the PS5000M
We recommend leaving the AC charger connected to a 120V AC outlet when the
PS5000M is not in use to obtain maximum battery life.
To recharge the PowerStation internal battery using AC power:
1. Ensure that all elements of the unit are off and that nothing is
connected to the 12V DC outlet.
2. Plug the AC charger cable into a standard wall AC outlet.
3. Plug the AC charger cable into the AC charger access point on the unit.
At this time the red “Battery Charging” indicator will illuminate.
4. Allow unit to charge until the red “Battery Charging” indicator turns off
and the green “Full Charge” indicator is illuminated.
Note: The PS5000M can stay connected to a 120V power source
and will charge automatically.
5. The charge level can be checked by rst disconnecting the AC charger
cable from the wall outlet and pressing the battery test button.
Charge your PS5000M after each use.
Note: If the battery is fully discharged, up to 72 hours may be needed to
completely recharge. If you store your PS5000M for extended periods of
time without use, completely recharge at least once every three months.
The PS5000M is equipped with a sensor that prevents overcharging.

OPERATION continued
To Recharge using a 12V DC power source:
(Do not exceed 2 hours)
Note: Only use the DC charging option when an AC power source
is not available.
1. Insert the DC charging cord into the cigarette lighter receptacle on
the boat or vehicle.
2. Insert the other end of the DC charging cord into either one of the
12V DC power outlets on the side of the unit.
Note: The jumpstart on/off switch can be left in the off position.
It is possible to over charge the battery when re-charging using
the DC outlet. Over charging the battery can cause permanent
damage and decrease battery performance. Only charge using
DC supply if a 120V AC outlet is not available.
