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.
1.3.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
person, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.3.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance and
the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.3.3. DO ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
1.3.4. DO ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.3.5. DO regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and power connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.3.6. DO check product voltage is the same as power supply to be used and check that all fused plugs are fitted with the correct capacity
fuses.

2.1
introduction
The RoadStart Emergency Power Pack is contained in a composite case with
integral battery clip storage and carrying handle. Twin batteries, connected in
either parallel or series to suit the output voltage, provide high peak and cranking
currents. Battery condition is displayed via a multiple LED power indicator.
A test button gives an indication of battery condition. The power pack is fitted
with a 12 volt power socket that will accept any 12 volt device with a cigarette
lighter plug. A mains charger and double plug cable for in-car charging are also
supplied.
Refer to Fig. 1 (12V Model RS103), Fig. 2 (24V Model RS104) and Fig. 3 (12/24V
Model RS105).

initial Charging Procedure
3.1.1
When first used, the roadstart unit should be charged for a minimum of 72 hours,
unless all the power level lights and the green charged light come on when the test
button is pressed.
3.2
Recharging Using the Mains Adaptor
IMPORTANT: When recharging the 12V/24V version (RS105), the VOLTAGE switch must be
set at the 12V position and the 12V mains adaptor used. Refer to Fig. 4. When recharging the
24V version (RS104) a 24V rated mains adaptor is to be used. Refer to Fig. 5.
3.2.1
The first method of charging the power pack is using the mains adaptor.
The adaptor charging jack is inserted into the charge port, located beneath the LED
power indicators. The charge port is connected through a smart circuit card to the
battery, making recharging automatic. Refer to Fig. 6.
3.2.2
The yellow charging indicator, located at the bottom of the bank of battery power
level LEDs, will light.
3.2.3
Charging progress can be monitored by checking the three red power level LEDs,
located directly above the yellow charging indicator. When all three LEDs are lit, the
green charged LED, located at the top of the three red power level LEDs, will light.
3.2.4
Recharging time is approximately four to six hours for each light that does not
come on when the test button is pressed.
3.2.5
When the green charged LED lights, charge the battery for another three to six
hours. Three hours is acceptable, but charging for six hours ensures maximum
battery output.
3.2.6
When not in use, the unit can be left connected to the mains adaptor.
3.3
Recharging Using the Vehicle Charger.
3.3.1
Start the vehicle engine.
3.3.2
Plug one end of the power extension lead into the unit and the other end into the
vehicle cigarette lighter outlet.
3.3.3
Depress the test button once every hour to check the power level.
3.3.4
When all the red LEDs and the green charged LED light, charge the unit for a
further one to two hours, to ensure a complete recharge.
WARninG! DO nOT OVERCHARGE
3.3.5
The Vehicle Charging method is not an automatic charging method. Frequent
monitoring of the charging process is the only safe way of ensuring the unit is not
overcharged.
