IMPORTANT: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

When disconnecting, remove the chassis lead FIRST, then the battery lead.

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.

12. Before charging ensure the battery terminals are clean and that the cells are filled

with electrolyte to the correct level by adding distilled water where necessary.
