Jump Starting a Vehicle

For gasoline engines up to 6.0L or diesel up to 3.0L.

1. Preparation: Ensure XP750C is charged. Turn off both vehicles and all accessories (radio, lights).
2. Connection Order: a. Connect RED clamp to the DEAD battery's POSITIVE (+) terminal. b. Connect BLACK clamp to a solid, unpainted metal engine ground on the dead vehicle (e.g., engine block, bracket). DO NOT connect to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3. Starting: Press the POWER button on the XP750C to activate jump start mode. Start the disabled vehicle. If it doesn't start within 5 seconds, wait 3 minutes before trying again.
4. Disconnection Order: Once vehicle is running: a. Disconnect BLACK clamp from the engine ground. b. Disconnect RED clamp from the battery positive terminal.

WARNING! Never connect clamps directly to each other. Ensure clamps have firm metal-to-metal contact.

Using the Air Compressor

For inflating tires, sports balls, air mattresses, etc.

1. Power On: Ensure XP750C is charged. Press POWER button.
2. Attach Hose: Connect the compressor hose to the unit's air outlet. Attach the appropriate nozzle to the hose for your item.
3. Set Pressure: Connect nozzle to item's valve. The built-in gauge will show current pressure.
4. Inflate: Flip the compressor switch to ON. Monitor the gauge and turn off when desired pressure is reached. Do not exceed the item's maximum PSI rating.
5. Cool Down: Allow compressor to cool for 10 minutes after continuous use exceeding 10 minutes.

Tip: Check the target PSI before inflating. Over-inflation can cause damage.

Powering 12V Devices

The 12V DC outlet and USB ports provide portable power.

1. 12V DC Outlet: Plug your 12V device (e.g., car vacuum, portable fridge) into the socket. Ensure device power draw does not exceed 10A (120W). Press POWER button to activate outlet.
2. USB Charging: Connect your USB cable to one of the USB ports and your device (phone, tablet). The ports automatically detect and deliver optimal charging current up to 2.1A total.
3. LED Light: Use as a work light or emergency beacon by pressing the light mode button.

Note: The battery status indicator will show decreasing charge as power is used. Recharge when level drops to 1 bar.

Maintenance & Storage

Proper care extends the life of your unit.
