  • Page 3: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS RELEASED IN THE PROCESS OF BATTERY CHARGING. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO SWITCH OFF THE CHARGER/STARTER FIRST TO AVOID SPARKING. Battery acid is very corrosive. If spilled, clean the area immediately and wash with water. If battery acid comes into contact with the eyes, get medical help immediately.

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE HEATER TO THE MAINS SUPPLY. Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug or a suitably fused isolator switch. If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions shown below.

  • Page 6 PROCEDURE FOR NORMAL CHARGING WARNING: NEVERATTEMPT TO RE-CHARGE NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. CAUTION: SOME ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT CAN BE DAMAGED BY CHARGING OR USE OF START FACILITY. CHECK YOUR VEHICLE HANDBOOK BEFORE USING YOUR STARTER/CHARGER. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER. NOTE: Before charging or boosting, ensure that, where applicable, the cells are filled with electrolyte to the correct level, by adding distilled water.
  • Page 7 NOTES ON CHARGING PROCEDURE • A complete charge is best done slowly in order to protect your battery so we recommend the MIN setting as described above. A complete charge may take up to 10 hours. • If a low amperage reading (2 amps or less) is registered on the gauge at either the MIN or MAX setting, this may indicate that the battery is either (a) already fully charged or (b) at the end of its useful life and in need of replacement.
  • Page 8 IMPORTANT: You must switch the amperage control switch back to the off position after a maximum of 10 seconds on boost start - wait at least 30 seconds before repeating. Failure to do this may damage your battery and the charger unit, and may invalidate your guarantee. THERMAL OVERLOAD If the starter/charger is overloaded at any time, a thermal cut out will automatically come into operation, rendering it inoperative.
