1.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY (with respect to mains chargers) WARNING! It is the users responsibility to check the following:

You must check the mains charger to ensure that it is safe before using. 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 stockist. You must read and understand instructions concerning electrical safety. 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. 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.

9 Ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply. 9 Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

4. OPERATION 4.1. JUMP STARTING 4.1.1. Ensure both the ignition of vehicle and the Jump Starter main power switch is switched OFF (fig.1) before any connections are

made to the battery. 4.1.2. Connect the RED(+) alligator clamp of the Jump Starter to the RED(+) positive battery terminal of the vehicle. 4.1.3. Connect the BLACK(-) alligator clamp of the Jump Starter to a non-moving metal part of the engine or chassis (avoid connecting to

fuel lines). 4.1.4. Switch the Jump Starter main power switch to the ON position, and leave for approximately 5 seconds. 4.1.5. Listen for any audible beeping indicating an accidental reversed polarity, the unit is protected from accidental reverse polarity

connection or 24V battery connection when the main switch is on. If beeping is heard this unit will not output power, turn the main switch off, disconnect then reconnect clamps in the correct order ensuring the polarity is correct.

4.1.6. With the Jump Starter still connected and switched on, turn the vehicle ignition and crank the engine. DO NOT crank the engine for any more than 5 seconds at a time.

4.1.7. If the engine fails to start, wait for at least 1 minute before trying again to avoid overloading or damaging the Jump Starter or battery.

4.1.8. Once the engine is running, switch the Jump Starter main power switch (fig.1) to the OFF position. Disconnect the BLACK(-) Negative clamp first, and return the cable to its storage position on the Jump Start unit.

4.1.9. Disconnect the RED(+) Positive clamp last, and return the cable to its storage position on the Jump Starter. 4.1.10. As soon as possible, connect the Jump Starter to the supplied 240V AC 3 stage charger and recharge the unit to maintain battery

life, see 7.2.

5. INBUILT SAFETY SYSTEMS 5.1. This Jump Starter is fitted with sophisticated electronic safety systems to protect the unit and the connected battery in the result of

accidental user error. 5.2. Even with these protection systems in place, extreme care should be taken with the correct identification of the system voltage and

the batteries being Jump Started: 5.3. SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: In the event of accidentally touching the Positive and Negative clamps together while switched

on, the Jump Starter will shut off output power thereby preventing a dangerous overload situation. A small spark may still emit from the alligator clamps, care should still be taken to not short circuit unit around lead acid batteries.

5.4. REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION: If the Jump Starter is accidentally Connected in the reverse polarity when switched on, the red LED on the front panel will illuminate along with a warning beep. Power will not output during reverse connection, simply toggle off the main switch and correct the polarity of the connection before attempting to use again. The Jump Start will only detect a reverse polarity connection when the main switch is on.

5.5. 24V BATTERY CONNECTION PROTECTION: In the event of accidental connection to a 24V battery system, the Jump Starter unit will automatically enable its overload protection and switch power output off. The Red LED will illuminate on the front panel, along with the warning buzzer. Even though this protection will protect the Jump Starter from catastrophic failure, extreme care should be taken by the user to correctly identify the type of battery to be jump started and the operating voltage of the system.

5.5.1. Over load and over temperature protection: When output draw from the clamps is too high or the unit has been used for an extended period, the red LED on the front panel will flash (without beeping) and the jump starter will cut output power. After a cooling down period of approximately 5 to 10 minutes the unit will work again.

6. PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY 6.1. USB (FIG.1): This Jump Starter is fitted with a 5V 2.4Amp USB output on the front panel of the unit. To use, simply plug in your USB cable to the socket, connect to your device and switch the Jump Starter main power switch on the left hand side to the on position. The USB port is fitted with an overload circuit; if the port is overloaded power will be switched off and will automatically re-set after 2 minutes. 6.2. LED EMERGENCY LIGHT (FIG.1):

Toggle the light switch on the right hand side to turn the light ON or OFF. fig.1
