PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS UNIT

1.

WARNING

: Some electronic equipment can be damaged by boost charging or use of

start facility. Check your vehicle handbook before using your Start ‘N Charge. If in
doubt  consult  the  vehicle  manufacturer.  Nevertheless,  you  should  not  operate  this
equipment unless you are fully conversant with vehicle electrical systems, and battery
charging  techniques.

2.

WARNING

: Because highly inflammable hydrogen gas is released in the process of

battery charging, please remember to switch OFF the charger first, and so avoid
sparking which will occur when CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING LIVE LEADS.

3.

Black negative (-) lead must always be clipped to the negative, and Red positive (+)
lead must always be clipped to the positive.

When charging with battery installed in vehicle, or boosting, first connect the
appropriate lead to the UNEARTHED battery terminal (on most modern cars this is
the positive (+) terminal), then connect the other lead to the chassis (or a suitable
engine bolt) away from the battery and fuel line. It is advisable to disconnect the
unearthed terminal from the battery, when charging in situ.

To stop charging/boosting, turn the Charging Controller to the “O” (OFF) position, and
then disconnect the chassis lead, and battery lead, in that order.

4.

To prevent battery overheating and consequent damage, use the BOOST facility
sparingly  and  do  not  exceed  our  recommendations.

5.

Battery acid is highly corrosive. If spillage occurs, wipe off immediately and wash
copiously with water. Particularly avoid contact with the eyes, but if this occurs, you
must  seek  medical  advice.

6.

When charging is completed, ensure that the vehicle battery leads are secured to the
proper  terminals  which  should  be  clean  and  lightly  smeared  with  petroleum  jelly  to
prevent corrosion. Finally, re-check the electrolyte level.

7.

Do not expose this unit to rain.

8.

Never touch together the negative and positive leads on this unit whilst the unit is
switched  on.

9.

Never attempt any electrical or mechanical repair. If you have a problem with your
machine  contact  your  local  stockist  for  service  information.

10. WARNING: Certain types of sealed or maintenance-free batteries need extra care

when  charging.  Please  consult  battery  manufacturers  instructions  before  using  this
unit.

11.

WARNING

: Since toxic fumes may be released during battery charging, 

ONLY USE

THIS UNIT IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

IMPORTANT:  SAFETY  PRECAUTIONS
