9. Always consult the vehicle manufacturers instructions for disconnecting / charging the vehicle battery. 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. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connect the three core mains cable to a suitable industrial supply isolator, or heavy duty plug meeting the requirements of BS EN 60309. - Page 5 OVERVIEW The unit is provided with a pair of leads complete with clamps for connection to a car battery and is provided with appropriate outlet connections - 12V and 24V as shown below. A single Start/ Charge switch allows for switching between functions and for charging at different rates with different charge rates as displayed on the ammeter.
- Page 6 PROCEDURE FOR NORMAL CHARGING NOTE: Before charging or boosting, ensure that, where applicable, the cells are filled with electrolyte to the correct level, by adding distilled water. 1. When charging a car battery in situ, we recommend that the non earthed lead on the battery is disconnected prior to charging (On most vehicles, this would be the RED, Positive lead - but check the vehicle handbook if you are unsure).
- 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 seen on the gauge at either the MIN or MAX setting.
- Page 8 PROCEDURE FOR ENGINE STARTING NOTE: We recommend that before attempting to boost start, you charge the battery for 10-15 minutes. This will improve the chance of a first time start, particularly with bigger engines. When the battery is completely flat, you must charge the battery for 10-15 minutes before attempting to start, otherwise you may cause damage to the vehicle electronic systems.

THERMAL OVERLOAD This Booster/Charger is provided with a Thermal Overload cut-out. Should the Duty Cycle be exceeded or should the unit overheat for any reason, the thermal overload will intervene, shutting down the charger. If this occurs, wait for 15 - 20 minutes, depending upon ambient temperature, before attempting to re-use. - Page 10 MAINTANENCE This charger requires minimal maintenance. As with any appliance or tool, a few common sense rules will prolong the life of the battery charger. WARNING: ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHARGER IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS AND ANY BATTERY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.
