Before Using the AC Power Converter
The FR01337 includes a built-in power converter for operating compatible household AC devices.
AC Converter Specifications
| Specification | Details |
| Rated AC Output | 120V AC, 60Hz |
| Continuous Power | 200W |
| Peak Power | 400W |
| Output Waveform | Modified Sine Wave |
| AC Outlet | 3-Prong NEMA 5-15 |
| Recommended Maximum Device Load | 200W Continuous |
The operating instructions refer to the household outlet as 110V AC, while the technical specifications identify its nominal rating as 120V AC.
Converter Safety Precautions
Before using the converter:
- Keep several inches of clearance around the top and sides of the unit.
- Do not block the ventilation openings at the back.
- Keep the unit away from flammable fumes and materials.
- Protect the unit from rain and moisture.
- Do not operate the converter on wet surfaces.
- Keep the unit away from heating vents, radiators, and other heat sources.
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Do not operate the converter near an open engine compartment where fumes may accumulate.
- Do not modify the AC receptacle.
The recommended operating air temperature is 50°F to 80°F.
AC Power Converter Limits and Compatibility
The built-in converter is designed for devices drawing 200W or less of continuous power.
If the device does not display a wattage rating, the manual instructs using only devices drawing less than 1.7A of AC current.
Starting and Peak Power
Some appliances, such as fans, televisions, and electrical motors, require additional power during startup.
Even if a device is rated below 200W during normal operation, its starting current may exceed the converter’s surge capability.
This can cause the converter to shut down automatically.

Some devices may operate at higher temperatures or overheat when powered by the converter.
Using Battery Chargers with the Converter
If a battery charger is powered through the FR01337 AC outlet:
- Monitor the battery charger’s temperature for approximately 10 minutes.
- If the battery charger becomes unusually warm, disconnect it from the converter immediately.
Extension Cord Requirements for the AC Converter
An extension cord can be connected between the converter outlet and the electrical device.
For best results, the extension cord should meet the following specifications:
| Requirement | Specification |
| Minimum Wire Size | 16 AWG |
| Maximum Length | 50 Feet |
How to Power an AC Device
The FR01337 can supply AC power to compatible electrical devices through its built-in converter.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I charge the Schumacher FR01337 jump starter?
The FR01337 internal battery is charged through the rear AC charging connector using an 18 AWG or larger extension cord connected to a 120V AC outlet. Moving dashes appear on the digital display during charging, and a small pulsing ioo appears when the battery is fully charged. Complete charging may take up to 72 hours.
2. How many amps does the Schumacher FR01337 provide for jump-starting?
The Schumacher FR01337 provides 1200 peak amps for jump-starting compatible vehicles with 12V DC lead-acid battery systems. It must not be used without a battery installed in the vehicle.
3. How do I jump start a car with the Schumacher FR01337?
With the jump starter switch OFF, connect the battery clamps using the correct vehicle grounding procedure. Turn the jump starter ON and crank the engine for no more than 8 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait 2 minutes before trying again. After starting, turn the unit OFF, disconnect the clamps, and recharge the portable power station.
4. How often should the Schumacher FR01337 be charged?
The FR01337 should be charged immediately after purchase, after every use, and every 30 days when it is not being used. The internal AGM lead-acid battery should never be allowed to become completely discharged.
5. What is the maximum air pressure of the Schumacher FR01337 compressor?
The built-in air compressor has a maximum pressure rating of 100 PSI. The desired pressure can be selected using the + and – buttons and confirmed with SET. The compressor automatically stops when the selected pressure is reached. It must not run for more than 10 minutes continuously, followed by 10 minutes of cooling.
6. Can the Schumacher FR01337 power household electrical devices?
Yes. The FR01337 includes a modified sine wave AC converter rated for 200W continuous power and 400W peak power. Connected devices must be compatible with modified sine wave output and remain within the converter’s power limits.
7. Why does the Schumacher FR01337 display ERR?
The err display indicates a converter problem that may be caused by a low internal battery charge, a connected device drawing more than 200W, or a short circuit in the connected device. Recharge the unit and check the device’s power requirements before further use.
8. What does the alarm mean on the Schumacher FR01337?
The audible alarm indicates that the jump-starting clamps are connected with reversed polarity. Keep the jump starter switch OFF, disconnect the clamps, and correct the connections. The alarm stops when the connections are corrected.
