1.3.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and potential hazards relating to the starter/charger. Also refer to the vehicle
manufacturer’s handbook.
IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Ensure the starter/charger is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt, do not use the unit and contact an electrician.
Only use genuine parts. To use unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
Use the starter/charger in the horizontal position only and ensure it stands on a stable surface which will adequately support the weight.
Ensure the charger is switched off and disconnected from the mains power supply before attaching the power clamps to the battery.
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of the engine clearly.
If the battery has removable caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power leads.
If necessary top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions, (
apply the personal safety
precautions described in para. 1.2.)
.
DO NOT
dis-assemble the starter/charger for any reason. It must be checked by qualified service personnel only.
The cables may become hot with excessive use. If so, allow a few minutes for them to cool down before attempting to re-use.
If the starter/charger receives a sharp knock or blow, the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
When not in use, store the starter/charger carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.
Ensure the positive cable is connected to the correct voltage connection on the charger as for the voltage of the battery being charged.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
DO NOT
try to charge a non-rechargeable battery.
DO NOT
try to start with a frozen battery.
DO NOT
attempt to charge a frozen battery.
WARNING! DO NOT allow metal tools to touch both battery terminals at the same time. The resulting spark or short circuit may cause an
explosion.
DO NOT
pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.
DO NOT
use this product to perform a task for which it is not designed.
WARNING! DO NOT simultaneously charge different types of batteries.
WARNING! If a fuse blows, ensure that it is replaced with one of identical type and rating.
If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them before attaching the starter/charger clamps.
DO NOT
use the starter/charger outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations, and
DO NOT
operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids or
gases.
DO NOT
situate charger inside a vehicle or under the vehicle bonnet. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and
DO NOT
cover or
obstruct the starter/charger ventilation louvres.
DO NOT
allow clamps to touch each other or to make accidental contact with any part of the vehicle.
DO NOT
cross-connect power leads from starter/charger to the battery. Ensure positive (+ RED) is to positive and negative (- BLACK) is
to negative. If symbols cannot be distinguished, remember that the negative terminal is normally the one directly connected to the vehicle
bodywork.
2. INTRODUCTION
3. SPECIFICATION
4. ASSEMBLY
4.1.
Carefully unpack all components and prepare a surface on which you can lay the unit down on during assembly, without damaging it.
4.2.
Insert the handle (fig.1.1) and secure it through the rear of the unit with screws (fig.1.2).
4.3.
Screw on the clamp holders to each side (fig.1.3).
4.4.
Use the long screws to screw on the cable retainers and spacers on each side (fig.1.4).
4.5.
Lay the unit on its front in order to insert the axle. Fit the wheels (fig.1.5), then their retainers and caps (fig.1.6).
4.6.
Clamp Assembly (fig.2).
4.6.1. Push cable through insulating handles.
4.6.2. Locate cable using cable screw washer and nut, note which way up cable needs to be. Screw on cable clamp tightly.
4.6.3. Screw up cable screw tightly.
4.6.4. Push outer protection pieces onto the ends of the clamp.
4.6.5. Slide insulating handles up to meet the outer protection pieces.
4.6.6. Repeat for all four clamps.
Fully electronic, microprocessor controlled battery starter/chargers designed to meet the requirements of modern battery technology. Suitable
for Gel, Lead Acid, and Lead Calcium as well as stop/start batteries found on electric and hybrid vehicles. Suitable for 12V & 24V electrical
systems with up to 10 analysis and charge phases. Instant visual check of battery condition, charge current, voltage and charging rate via LED
read-out. Stabilised charging current allows improved charging efficiency and reduced charging times using ECS (Electronic Control Systems)
technology. Includes circuitry to provide surge and spike protection during charging and starting thus preventing damage to vital systems such
as ABS, airbag sensors, ignition and music systems.
