1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the Vector® START-IT COMPACT PRO™ JUMPSTART SYSTEM,
AIR COMPRESSOR and 12 VOLT DC POWER SUPPLY. This compact jumpstarter is unique in
the amount of energy it can supply for it’s size. The internal battery is a Vector-developed high
density sealed lead acid battery that stores and delivers energy comparable to full sized
ordinary jumpstarters. Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure optimum
performance and avoid damage to the unit or items that you are using it with.
A standard feature of this model is a high pressure, self-contained tire compressor with lighted
gauge. This compressor allows quick inflation of vehicle tires to 260 PSI and with supplied
adapter nozzles, inflates beach balls, rafts and virtually any low-pressure inflatables. Three
different sized nozzles allow for easy connection to all popular inflatables.
The Vector® START-IT COMPACT PRO™ JUMPSTART SYSTEM & 12 VOLT DC POWER SUPPLY
is a compact, durable and portable jumpstart system for vehicles and boats that have a
standard 12-Volt battery system. This self-contained, rechargeable system will start most
vehicles and boats without the need for a host vehicle or 110/120 Volt AC power supply. It can
also be used as a safe, portable source of 12-volt DC electric power in remote locations and/
or emergency situations. It is ideal for use with Vector 12 Volt DC cordless, portable, recharge-
able products and MAXX® DC/AC Power Inverters. Use the START-IT COMPACT PRO™ to:
– Jumpstart: Any engine system with a standard 12 Volt DC battery: boat, truck, car, airplane,
RV, personal watercraft, snowmobile, garden tractor, gasoline engine generator, etc.
– Operate: 12-volt DC Fans, inflators, fluorescent work lights, cellular phones*, spotlights,
TVs, portable radios, cassette or CD players, and more. *Can quick-charge a cellular
phone by using the phone’s 12-volt DC adapter cord.-Operate: Certain 110/120 Volt AC
Accessories (requires a Vector 12 volt power inverter, sold separately) .
The START-IT COMPACT PRO SYSTEM has an easy-to-read, series of LED (Light Emitting Diode)
charge indicators that show when the unit is fully charged, or the level of charge in the battery.
Charge level can be viewed when the charge status push button is pressed. A 12 Volt DC
cigarette lighter-type socket is provided for use with appliances that can operate from a vehicle
cigarette lighter. This allows maximum portability and utility when the START-IT
COMPACT PRO is used in remote locations.
START-IT COMPACT PRO™ can be recharged from any standard 110/120 Volt AC power
source using the supplied AC Recharge Adapter. The adapter’s barrel connector attaches to the
Recharge Port on the top panel of the junpstarter. A built-in 12-volt appliance socket and the
appropriate DC/DC charging/adapter cord is used to recharge the battery from another
12 volt DC source. When pressed, the CHARGE STATUS button will show the battery ‘s power
level status (from Low to Full). The green LED full indicator illuminates when the unit is fully
recharged and charging can be discontinued. An ON/OFF switch operates the built-in work/
emergency light.
