startINg a VehIcLe WIth a FLat BatterY
Your starter/charger will deliver sufficient output to start an appropriate size of vehicle with a flat battery.
to start a vehicle which has a flat battery proceed as follows:
4.6.1. check the vehicle manufacturer's handbook and follow any special instructions. check that the battery is in good condition.
4.6.2. ensure the starter/charger is disconnected from the mains power supply and set the charger voltage to match that of the battery by
attaching the positive (+) lead to either the 12 or 24 volt terminal. see fig.3.
4.6.4. check that the charger clamps and battery terminals are clean and free from oxidation.
4.6.5. Without removing the power leads that connect the battery to the vehicle, connect the charger PosItIVe (red) clamp to the PosItIVe
(+) terminal on battery and the negAtIVe (black) clamp to negAtIVe (-) terminal on the battery. Never ever start vehicles with the
batteries disconnected from their respective terminals as the presence of the battery is essential for the elimination of
possible over voltage that may be generated due to energy accumulating in the connection cables at the starting stage.
4.6.6. Plug starter/charger into mains power supply. It is essential before turning the ignition key to make a rapid charge for 5-10 seconds,
which will greatly facilitate starting. turn the current switch to the rapid charging position. rapid charging shall always be done
with the battery charger switched to charge position and NOt to starting. After rapid charging is completed turn the rotary switch
back to the starting position. see fig.4.
4.6.7
remote start button. the superstart1020 has a remote start button on an extended lead. When the rotary switch on the unit is
turned to the 'start' position the boost charge is not initiated until the button on the remote is pressed. the charge will continue as long
as the button is held down and cease when the button is released. this facility is particularly useful when working on commercial
vehicles where the button can be taken into the cab. turn the ignition on and crank the engine followed immediately by the operation
of the remote start button. If the vehicle does not start within 3 seconds release the button and turn off the ignition. Wait 120 seconds
and then try again.
WArnIng! If the vehicle does not start after five attempts, do not continue as vehicle battery and electrical circuits may be
damaged, and the fuse in the charger will blow. disconnect the charger and investigate for vehicle faults.
4.6.8. When the vehicle is running successfully, switch the starter/charger off, unplug from the mains power and disconnect the power
terminals from the battery. do not attempt to start engine with starter/charger if the battery is disconnected from the vehicle.
5. FUses
Your starter/charger is equipped with a safety fuse, or fuses, which will cut the power to the unit in the following circumstances:
a) overload - too high a current to the battery.
b) short circuit - clamps touch, or cross-connection to battery.
c) Prolonged starting attempts.
should the fuse blow take the following action:
5.1.
turn the unit off and disconnect from the mains power supply.
5.2.
Allow the unit to cool down, establish the reason for failure and correct.
5.3.
replace the fuse. use only sealey replacement fuse. do not use a fuse with copper bridges or similar as these will damage your
equipment. refer to section 2 'specifications' for fuse information and part numbers. We recommend you hold 2 or 3 spare fuses with
the starter/charger.
Note: the use of an incorrect fuse will invalidate your warranty.
