AEG SP 16, SP 25 Manual

INTRODUCTION

Explanation of symbols and signal words used in these operating instructions and/or the device:
Follow instructions when using the device.
Risk of injury or death for children!
Please note warnings and safety notices!
Only use this device at weatherproof locations!
Consider the environment when disposing of the packaging!

Symbol/signal word	Possible consequences of non-observance
	Immediate danger to life or severe injuries.
	Serious injuries, potentially life-threatening.
	Light to moderate injuries.
Attention!	Risk of property damage.

Note:
These instructions also refer to the safety jumper leads as leads.

Intended use

The jumper leads are used to start a vehicle with drained battery by bridging with a good battery (jumper battery). The installed voltage spike protection significantly limits dangerous peak voltages, prevents damage to the sensitive on-board electronics on the vehicles involved (ABS, air bag, Hi-Fi, etc.), and sparking.
This device is not intended for use by children or persons with limited mental capacity or lacking experience and/or lacking expertise. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the leads.
This device is not intended for commercial use.
Any other use or modification of the device is considered improper and involves significant risks. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages due to improper use.

Please include all relevant documentation to other users!

Technical data

The jumper leads meet the requirements of DiN 72553 and are suitable for wiring system voltages from of 12 v.
The leads consist of insulated, copper-clad aluminium wires with fully insulated terminal clamps.

* The electric conductance corresponds to a copper lead of this cross-section.

Safety

General safety guidelines
Read all safety guidelines and instructions. Non-compliance with safety guidelines and instructions can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety guidelines and instructions for future reference.

Risk of bodily or fatal injury to children! Risk of suffocation or strangulation! Keep the machine out of the reach of children. Children are unable to assess the risks associated with use of this product!

Damaged leads may cause fatal electric shock. Discontinue use if leads are damaged.

• Improper handling of jumper leads may result in severe injuries and damage.
• Repairs must be performed by a qualified professional.

The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by:

• Improper use.
• External forces, damage to the leads and/or damage to parts of the leads due to mechanical impacts or overload.
• Any type of modifications to the leads.
• Using the leads for purposes not described in this operating manual.
• Subsequent damages from improper and/or incorrect use.
• Moisture and/or inadequate ventilation.
• Unauthorised opening of the leads. This will void the warranty.

Explosion and fire hazard!

• Keep sources of ignition (e.g. lit cigarettes) away from battery.
• The working battery must have the same voltage (V) and about the same capacitance (Ah) as the drained battery (see specification on the battery).
• Never use the jumper leads in explosion-prone surroundings.
• Thaw frozen batteries before starting.
• The vehicle's engine displacement must be within the approved range of the jumper leads.

Risk of chemical burns!

• Risk of injury to the eye. Wear protective eyewear and do not lean over the battery. The electrolyte inside the drained starter battery remains liquid even at low temperatures.

Risk of electrical shock!

• Do not allow the clamps involved to touch.

Risk of injury!

• Do not modify or manipulate the product as this will increase the risk of injury.

JUMPSTARTING

Preparations

1. Be sure to follow the indications on jumpstarting inside the vehicles' operator's manuals.
2. Set the parking brake on both vehicles.
3. Set gearstick to neutral, for automatic transmissions to P.
4. Switch off ignition on both vehicles and all devices.
5. Do not disconnect the drained battery from the vehicle's electrical system.

Connecting

Place the jumper leads so they will not be tangled in moving parts inside the engine compartment.
Connect the terminal clamps of the leads in the following order:

1. Positive lead (red) to positive terminal of drained battery.
2. Plus lead (red) to positive terminal of good battery.
3. Negative lead (black) to negative terminal of good battery.
4. Negative lead (black) to the negative pole on the drained battery, or to a suitable mass (e.g. engine block) on the vehicle.

Connect this earthing point to the vehicle earth as far away from the battery as possible to avoid igniting explosive gas which may be present.

Starting

1. Start the engine of the vehicle with the drained battery
   (starting attempt max. 15 seconds - wait at least one minute between additional attempts to start).
2. After successfully starting the vehicle engine with the drained battery wait 2 to 3 minutes until it runs smoothly.

Disconnecting

Note: before disconnecting the jumper leads the rear and front defrost should be switched on in the vehicle with the drained battery (do not switch on vehicle lights). This will reduce possible voltage spikes whilst disconnecting and prevent damaging electrical parts. Disconnect the terminal clamps in the following order:

When disconnecting the jumper cables, be careful they do not come into contact with the moving parts of the engine.

1. Negative lead (black) from earth point of vehicle with drained battery.
2. Negative lead (black) from negative terminal of good battery.
3. Positive leads (red) in any order.

After jumpstarting drive the broken-down vehicle for a longer distance to charge the battery. You may also recharge the battery with a charger.

CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always maintain clean leads and check jumper leads for damage prior to each use. Do not use damaged jumper leads (e.g. frayed lead, broken or welded terminal clamps). Please contact your retailer or a qualified professional for damages, repairs or other product issues.

Service
