3. CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1.
Recharging the Roadstart’s internal batteries
the preferred method for recharging the roadstart unit is using
the supplied Ac power adaptor supplied. this method is
automatic and does not require the user to monitor the progress
of the charge. the unit may also be recharged using the in-car
dc adaptor plugged into the vehicle’s 12V accessory socket.
the unit may not be recharged using a 24V supply. this method
is not automatic and could result in the unit being overcharged if
the user fails to monitor the charge and disconnect the power
source when full charge is reached. overcharging could result in
permanent damage to the unit.
3.2.
Reading the power level indicators
(see fig.2)
the charge level of each unit can be seen at any time by pressing
the test button and noting the number of red power level lights
that are illuminated. When all three power level lights are illumi
nated the unit is fully charged and is ready to be used. If only two
red lights are illuminated the unit is in a 50% charge status and
could be used to operate most 12 volt accessories. If the unit is
required for starting it should be charged until all three red lights
are illuminated. If there is only one red light illuminated the unit is
low and must be recharged.
3.3.
Initial Charging Procedure
Before first use, this roadstart unit should be charged for a
minimum of 72 hours.
WARNING!
use supplied adaptor, cables and connectors.
unauthorised parts may damage the unit and will invalidate
the warranty. ensure you strictly apply the safety regulations
as stated in section 1.
3.4.
To recharge with the AC charging adaptor
Only charge with the adaptor supplied.
IMPORTANT:
When recharging this 12V/24V version the
VOLTAGE
switch must be set at the 12V position. the unit
may be recharged with either the Ac power adaptor or the in-
car adaptor plugged into a 12V accessory socket. refer to figs
3 & 4.
3.4.1.
ensure the power clamps are in their designated holsters.
3.4.2.
Plug the Ac power adaptor into the 230 Volt Ac wall outlet. the
amber ‘charging’ indicator will illuminate, see fig.2. the unit will
now charge automatically and the power level lights will indi
cate the level of charge. When the green ‘charged’ led comes
on (see fig.2) charge for a further 3 to 6 hours to achieve full
capacity. When not in use the roadstart can be left connected to
the charger.
3.5.
To recharge with the 2-pin European adaptor.
When using the roadstart in a european country remove the
3-pin uK plug by pushing the button on the Ac power adaptor
and turning anti-clockwise, replace with the 2-pin plug, placing it
on the transformer and turning clockwise until fully home. see
fig.4.

Original Language Version
We recommend that an rcd (residual current device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an rcd
with portable products that plug into an electrical supply not protected by an rccB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. You can
obtain a residual current device through your sealey dealer. You must read and understand instructions concerning electrical
safety.
1.3.1. the
Electricity At Work Act 1989
requires all portable
electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified person, using a Portable Appliance tester (PAt),
at least once a year.
1.3.2. the
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
DO
ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
DO
ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
DO
regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and power connections to ensure that none is loose.
DO
check product voltage is the same as power supply to be used and check that all fused plugs are fitted with the correct capacity
fuses.
