Elettro CF BOOSTER 1700 Operating Instructions Manual page 4

GB
This BOOSTER has been designed to offer you the quality and benefits of a portable energy source. To find out
about the characteristics of your BOOSTER in detail read these instructions carefully and keep them in a safe
place for future reference.
Important safety warnings.
1. The use of accessories not recommended or sold by the BOOSTER manufacturer could cause damage to the
appliance or to people.
2. When using the LESA power supply unit or the lighter plug cable, always pull on the plug and not the cable to
unplug the device.
3. Do not recharge the BOOSTER if the plug of the charger or lighter plug cable are damaged but replace them
immediately.
4. The BOOSTER may be used whatever the weather conditions: rain, snow, high or low temperatures.
5. Do not immerse the BOOSTER in water.
6. Do not use the BOOSTER close to inflammable liquids not protected by suitable containers.
7. If the BOOSTER suffers a sharp blow or is damaged in any other way have it checked by a qualified technician.
The BOOSTER should not be left completely flat for long periods of time. The damage to the accumulator
could be irreversible thus considerably reducing performance. When the device is not used for long
periods of time it should be recharged at least once every four (4) months using the LESA power supply
unit or the lighter cable.
Technical characteristics.
1. The BOOSTER accumulator supplies 1700 A at breakaway (American regulations) in the first few seconds of
initial starting, then issues a minimum of 600A in continuous, more than enough to start most petrol and diesel
fuelled cars.
2. Clamps with six-wire copper cable.
3. Multifunction electric power supply. Use by means of the lighter plug.
Protection provided by 20A automatic thermic switch.
4. Light-up indicator charge control button. For full control keep the "TEST" button pressed for at least 10
seconds: 5 LEDs lit up = charging complete with power supply connected; when the power supply is
disconnected, only 4 LEDs still lit up.
Active safety features.
1. The negative and positive clamps are fixed into special slots fitted with braid and plastic coverings which
ensure the maximum safety.
2. The guide slots block the cables preventing unnecessary slack and fouling.
3. The BOOSTER, with its sealed energy battery (12 V/18 Ah), is protected against electrolytic leakage. It can be
laid down and/or used in any position.
Recharging procedure.
1. By pressing the "TEST" button, the LEDs will light up in sequence from "red" to "green". The last green LED will
only light up when the BOOSTER is fully recharged (with the charging cable still connected). When the
charging cable is disconnected, only 4 LEDs still lit up. We recommend recharging the appliance after each
time it is used with the special automatic power supply unit which allows the accumulator to be fully recharged
without the risk of overload.
Three ways of recharging the BOOSTER.
1. After the engine has been started leave the BOOSTER connected for a further 3-5 minutes.
2. Recharge using the cable with the lighter plug LESA1 inserted in the lighter socket while the engine is running.
Recharging will take 3-4 hours.
3. Recharge using the automatic power supply unit LESA 5A. Insert the plug of the charger in the wall socket and
if the device is completely flat, leave to recharge for 30 hours. Most recharging will be completed in 12 hours.
The LESA 5A charger has a built-in switch which automatically turns off the power supply when the recharging
is complete, so that it is not necessary to unplug the LESA 5A, when you do not use the BOOSTER.
