ENGLISH
• Be very careful when handling lead-acid batteries to avoid sparking at theterminals. Thebattery can
produce explosive gases during charge or when jump-starting. Therefore, it is important that these activities
be carried out in awell-ventilated area.
• The starter may only be connected to vehicles with a12V lead-acid battery. Donot use thebattery for dry batteries
or other non-rechargeable batteries. Theycan explode and cause serious personal injury or property damage.
• Be careful to keep thered and black battery clamps apart so that they do not come into contact with each other,
nor should they touch any metal object at thesame time. Thismay damage theproduct and/or may cause
sparks or anexplosion. Alwaysstore thebattery leads wound up and thebattery clamps placed in their holders.
• Check your vehicle’s polarity before connecting the jump starter leads. Make sure the battery’s polarity
markings are legible. Always connect the red, positive (+) clamp first and thereafter the black, negative (-) clamp.
• The jump starter’s power switch should be in theOFF position during charging, when not in use, and when
connecting theclamps to thebattery.
• Make sure thestarter is placed on aneven surface during charging to prevent it tipping over or falling.
Planout your work before proceeding so that no clothing, hair, cables, etc. can get caught in any of
theengines moving parts when it is started.
• This jump starter must not be used instead of avehicle battery. Donot attempt to operate avehicle that
does not have abattery installed.
• Do not have thecharger connected to thejump starter at thesame time as thebattery clamps are
connected to thebattery of thevehicle.
• If thebattery clamps are connected to thewrong terminals, thered warning light “Rev. Polarity” will
come on immediately.
1.6 Specific safety instructions for using the jump starter’s air compressor
• Do not use thecompressor whilst charging abattery.
• Never point thenozzle towards people or animals.
• Never leave thecompressor unattended, it can overheat if use for along time and cause thethermal cut-out to
trip. Ifthethermal cut-out has tripped thecompressor must cool down for 30 minutes before it can beused.
• Use only theadapters and accessories that are provided with theproduct.
• The jump starter is not atoy. Donot let children play with it. Thejump starter must only be used by adults
who have read theinstruction manual.
• The pressure gauge on thecompressor is intended as aguide only. Foraccurate pressures, aseparate,
more precise pressure meter or tyre gauge should beused.
• Do not over-inflate. Inflate only to themanufacturer’s recommendations. Exceeding thepressure rating could
cause anitem to explode and damage your hearing or frighten pets.
• The air from thecompressor is not safe for breathing.
• Make sure that thejump starter is placed on alevel surface. Vibrations from thecompressor can cause
thestarter to “walk” or tipover.
• High pressure air is dangerous, never direct air from thenozzle towards bare skin, eyes, people or animals.
1.7 Specific safety instructions for charging batteries
• Never attempt to dismantle abattery.
• Do not expose batteries towater.
• Do not store batteries in temperatures above 40 ˚C or below 0 °C, discharged batteries are damaged by
temperatures belowzero.
• Charge only at ambient temperatures between 10 °C and 40 °C.
• Use only thesupplied charger to charge thebattery in thejump starter.
• Warning! Lead-acid batteries contain battery acid which is corrosive. Ifthebattery acid comes into contact
with skin or eyes, rinse theaffected area immediately with water and seek medical attention.
1.8 Charger
• The charger provided with thejump starter is designed for use with aspecific voltage.
Makesure that themains voltage supply corresponds to thevoltage on therating plate.
• Never try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Never attempt to replace thecharger plug with aregular mainsplug.
Useonly thesupplied charger to charge thebattery in thejump starter.
• If theplugs or lead of thecharger are damaged, they must be replaced by atradesman using original spareparts.
• Battery charging must only take place in awell-ventilated area.
