IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS UNIT
WARNING:
Some electronic equipment can be damaged by boost charging or use of
start facility. Check vehicle handbook before using your Start ‘N’ Charge. If
in doubt consult vehicle manufacturer.
1 WARNING: Because highly inflammable hydrogen gas is released in the process
of battery charging, ALWAYS remember to switch OFF first and so avoid sparking
which will occur when connecting or disconnecting LIVE LEADS,
2. Black negative (-) lead must always be clipped to the negative.
Red positive (+) lead must always be clipped to the positive.
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.
To stop charging/boosting, disconnect the mains electricity supply, chassis
lead, and battery lead in that order.
3. To prevent battery overheating and consequent damage, use the BOOST
facility sparingly and do not exceed our recommendations.
4. Battery acid is highly corrosive. If spillage occurs, wipe off immediately and
wash copiously with water. Particularly avoid contact with the eyes.
5. 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.
6. Do not expose this unit to rain,
7. Never touch together the negative and positive leads on this unit whilst the
unit is switched on.
8. Never attempt any electrical or mechanical repair. If you have a problem
with your machine contact your local stockist for service information.
9. WARNING: Certain types of sealed or maintenance-free batteries need extra
care when charging. Please consult battery manufacturers instructions before
using this unit.
10. WARNING: Since toxic fumes may be released during battery charging, ONLY
USE THIS UNIT IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
11. 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.
12. Where appropriate we recommend that the positive (+) lead to the battery is
disconnected on the vehicle prior to charging.
