Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,
and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
Refer to Instruction Warning:
Manual Explosive Material
Read and understand the general safety and operating instructions before use. The following information is intended to help
you keep the product in top working order.
NOTE – The battery in this unit is a consumable item and its ability to accept charge will reduce over time. We will warrant it
against mechanical and electrical defect for a period of one year - this does not cover fair wear and tear.
If the battery is not properly charged before first use, or regularly conditioned, its capacity will diminish. Under these circumstances we
will not replace the battery even if it is less than one year old.
The Reverse Charging Protection Diode, fitted in the positive lead, is a consumable part that is damaged by failure to adhere to the
duty cycle instructions.
You can help prolong the life cycle of the battery by following a few simple guidelines:
• Plug in your new RoadStart to the mains transformer and make an INITIAL charge lasting 72 hours.
• Ensure the unit is fully charged before storage.
• DO NOT leave the RoadStart for longer than 2 months without putting it on charge.
• DO NOT attempt to start a vehicle when the RoadStart battery voltage is reduced to less than 7V.
• DO NOT drop or handle the RoadStart roughly – this will break or disconnect the battery terminals rendering the battery useless and
the warranty void.
• DO NOT use any other charger, other than the one supplied, to recharge the battery.
• DO NOT obstruct the ventilation grilles and protect against water ingress - these RoadStart units are fitted with ventilation grilles to
help disperse any gases produced during the charging procedure.
