ELECTRICAL SAFETY
F
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
You must check the AC adaptor to ensure it is safe before using. You must inspect the power supply lead, plugs and all electrical
p
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. Obtain a Residual Current
Device through your Sealey dealer. You must read and understand instructions concerning electrical safety.
3.3.1. 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.
3.3.2. 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.
3.3.3. DO ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
3.3.4. DO ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
3.3.5. DO regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and power connections to ensure that none is loose.
3.3.6. 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.
3.3.7. DO NOT pull the AC adaptor plug from the mains socket by the cable.
3.3.8. DO NOT use the AC adaptor if damaged or if the lead is worn. Replace damaged items immediately.
3.3.9. DO NOT disassemble the AC adaptor. There are no user-serviceable items inside the unit.
4. CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.
Reading the LED charge indicators
To the right of the charge indicator LEDs is a rocker switch behind a flexible protective cover. To determine the charge level depress the
rocker switch and note the number of LEDs illuminated. Release the switch which will automatically return to the ‘Off’ position.
If only one or two LEDs illuminate then the unit is 50% or less charged and should not be used for starting, but may be used to
power most 24 volt accessories. Recharge as soon as possible.
Note: If the Roadstart is being recharged then all five LEDs will illuminate when the switch is pressed irrespective of the actual level of charge.
To determine charge level first disconnect charger, wait a few minutes for batteries to stabilise and then depress switch.
4.2.
Recharging the RS22
Note: When you receive your RS22 from new, check the charge level (see para. 4.1.). The unit may need to be charged for up to 22 hours (8
hours if being charged by vehicle system) to reach full capacity.
The RS22 should be fully re-charged in following situations:
i) When new. ii) Before heavy usage. iii) When only one or two of the charge indicator LEDs illuminates.
F WARNING! Use supplied adaptor, cables and connectors. Unauthorised parts may damage unit and will invalidate your warranty.
Ensure you strictly apply the safety instructions as stated in Section 3.
4.2.1. To recharge with the AC charging adaptor.
a) Ensure that the power clamps are stowed correctly.
b) Plug the AC charger cord into either of the input/output sockets of the unit and then connect charger to 230 Volt AC socket.
4.2.2. To recharge with the DC charging cable.
a) Ensure that the power clamps are stowed correctly.
b) With the vehicle engine running plug the DC charging cable into either of the input/output sockets of the unit and then the other end into
the vehicle 24volt cigarette lighter socket. Check first that the lighter socket is 24 volt. The unit will be charged by the vehicle alternator.
Note: If the RS22 is completely discharged, then a 22 hour charge will be necessary (8 hours if being charged by vehicle system).
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1.
To use as an emergency jump starter. (Remember to apply safety rules from Section 3).
NOTE: Before using for the first time, re-charge the Roadstart unit.
5.1.1. Put hand brake on and place in neutral gear (“Park” if automatic transmission).
5.1.2. Turn ignition and electrical accessories off.
5.1.3. Wear protective safety glasses and clothing.
F
WARNING! Do not allow the red and black clamps to touch each other and ensure that they are connected to the correct battery terminals.
5.1.4. Attach the positive (RED +) clamp to the positive terminal on the flat battery (for a negative ground system).
Ensure connecting points are clean.
5.1.5. Attach the negative (BLACK -) clamp to the (ground) engine block or frame of the vehicle. Ensure that the cables are not in the path
of moving engine parts, such as fan and are away from the battery, carburettor/injection system, fuel lines etc.
5.1.6. Make sure that no one is standing near the battery. When all is OK, start the engine.
5.1.7. Once the vehicle has started, disconnect the negative (BLACK -) clamp first and stow on unit.
5.1.8. Then disconnect the positive (RED +) clamp and stow.
IMPORTANT: If vehicle does not start within 10 seconds, DO NOT continue to crank. Let the Roadstart’s internal batteries cool for five minutes
before attempting to start vehicle again. Failure to do so may damage the unit.
