• Do not use the portable power pack if any cable clamp or cord is damaged.
• Do not short circuit the unit. Don’t touch the clamps to any conductive
material.
• Always wrap the cables back into position and store the clamps properly.
• If your Rescue Portable Power Pack requires service, follow the directions
in the warranty section. Do not attempt to repair the unit or replace parts.
Unauthorized repairs will void your warranty.
• Check vehicle battery terminals before using the power pack; clean them if
necessary.
• After approximately 10 seconds of continuous cranking, if the disabled
vehicle fails to start, stop and wait for 1 minute. This prevents damage to
your power pack and to your vehicle’s system from overheating.
• No lubrication is recommended or required.
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight, in extreme heat or cold, or very moist areas.
The built-in air compressor is operated from the back of the Rescue unit. The
air hose is equipped with a clamp-on Schrader valve connector to ll tires.
Additional adaptors are included to ll air mattresses, balls, etc. The switch
turns the compressor on and off and a pressure gauge is provided.
A 300W power inverter is provided on the back of the unit with two AC out-
lets. The outlets are switched. The inverter is a modied sine wave inverter,
which means it will work well for power tools, lighting, and most small ap-
pliances. Electronics that modulate RF signals, speed controllers found in
some fans and tools, rechargers for batteries and metal halide arc lights may
be damaged by modied sine wave inverters. If you have critical electronics
like computers, televisions, etc. verify the power requirements before using
the Rescue
®
1060.
For best performance, make sure the Rescue
®
1060 is fully charged before
using the AC inverter. Following are estimated run times for AC appliances
