1. Locate the recharge port on the unit.
2. Connect the appropriate charging adapter (not specified in input, assume included) to the recharge port and plug it into a standard wall outlet.
3. Charge the Powerstation for a minimum of 12 hours.
4. During charging, monitor the voltmeter. The needle should indicate a charge level within the green or yellow area.
5. Una volta completata la carica, scollegare il caricabatterie.

Nota: Always recharge the unit after each use and check the battery level regularly, even when not in use, to prevent deep discharge.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1. Jump Starter Function

The Powerstation can be used to jump-start cars and motorcycles with engines up to 1600cc (1.6L).

1. Ensure the Powerstation is adequately charged (voltmeter in green/yellow).
2. Turn off the ignition and all accessories in the vehicle to be jump-started.
3. Collegare il rosso (+) jump starter clamp al positivo (+) terminale della batteria del veicolo.
4. Collegare il Nero (-) jump starter clamp to a clean, unpainted metal part of the vehicle's chassis, away from the battery and fuel lines. Non collegare direttamente al terminale negativo (-) della batteria.
5. Wait a few moments, then attempt to start the vehicle. Do not crank for more than 5 seconds.
6. If the vehicle does not start, wait at least 1 minute before trying again.
7. Una volta avviato il veicolo, scollegare il Nero (-) clamp prima, poi il rosso (+) clamp.
8. Recharge the Powerstation as soon as possible after use.

5.2. Air Compressor Function

The integrated air compressor can inflate tires, sports equipment, and other inflatables up to 17 bar (250 PSI).

1. Retrieve the air compressor hose and the appropriate adapter nozzle from the rear compartment.
2. Attach the nozzle to the item you wish to inflate.
3. Connect the compressor hose to the Powerstation's compressor outlet.
4. Turn on the compressor switch (if applicable, not explicitly shown but implied).
5. Monitor the pressure gauge on the Powerstation and inflate to the desired pressure.
6. Once the desired pressure is reached, turn off the compressor and disconnect the hose and nozzle.
7. Store the hose and nozzles back in their designated compartment.
