1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous because they can
generate explosive gases. It is important to remember that batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation.
 WARNING! this equipment contains a sealed, non-spillable lead acid battery. this must be disposed of in accordance with
local regulations.
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 warranty 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.
You can help prolong the lifecycle of the battery by following a few simple guidelines.
• Plug in your new roadstart to the mains transformer and make an InItIAl charge lasting 38 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 7Volts.
• DO NOT drop or roughly handle the roadstart – this will break or disjoin 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.
IMPORTANT: to reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these
instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the
battery. remember to review warning marks on all products and on
engines.
1.1 PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
ensure there is another person within hearing range, or close

enough to come to your aid should a problem arise, when
working near a lead-acid battery.

skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with
cool, clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets,

necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a
short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, which may cause severe burns.

1.3 ELECTRICAL SAFETY (with respect to mains chargers)
WARNING! It is the user's responsibility to check the following:

You must check the Ac adaptor to ensure that it is safe before
using. You must inspect the power supply lead, plugs and all
electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure
the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of
appropriate safety devices. An rccB (residual current circuit
Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board.
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.
