2. SPECIFICATIONS
1. GENERAL FEATURES
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.
3.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
3 Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid should a problem arise when
working near a lead-acid battery.
3 Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
3 Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
3 Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean
running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
3 Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns.
3.2. OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3
Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the unit.
3 Keep the unit in good working order and condition. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
3 Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
3 The Roadstart must only be opened and checked by qualified service personnel. DO NOT disassemble for any reason.
3 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
3 Keep work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
3 If the unit receives a sharp knock or blow, it must be checked by a qualified service agent before being used.
3 When not in use re-charge every six (6) months.
7 DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
7 DO NOT drop any metal tool onto the battery as it may spark or short circuit the battery, which could cause an explosion.
7 DO NOT use the unit to recharge dry cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause
injury to persons and damage to property.
7 DO NOT charge or boost a frozen battery.
7 DO NOT allow clamps to touch each other, or to contact the same piece of metal, as this will result in arcing.
7 DO NOT use attachments other than those recommended. To do so may risk damage to the unit, equipment and possible injury.

Usage Features:

  • Jump Starting:
    • Ensure vehicle hand brake is applied, and the vehicle is in neutral gear (or "Park" for automatic transmission). Turn ignition and electrical accessories off.
    • Attach the positive (RED +) clamp to the positive terminal on the vehicle battery. For vehicles with multiple batteries, connect to the positive battery terminal connected to the vehicle electrical system.
    • Attach the negative (BLACK -) clamp to the engine block or frame of the vehicle, ensuring cables are clear of moving parts.
    • Start the engine.
    • Once the vehicle has started, disconnect the negative (BLACK -) clamp first, then the positive (RED +) clamp. Store clamps in their holsters.
    • If the vehicle does not start within 6 seconds, wait 3 minutes for the Roadstart's internal battery to cool before attempting again.
  • Memory Saver Function:
    • Plug the DC charging cable into the unit's charge socket and the other end into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
    • Switch off all vehicle electrical equipment, then switch ignition on.
    • Disconnect and remove the vehicle battery, covering the positive cable terminal to prevent contact with metalwork.
    • The unit will now maintain power to electronic memories.
    • Once the fully charged vehicle battery is replaced, the Roadstart can be disconnected.
  • Powering DC Accessories:
    • The unit can power 12V DC accessories via its cigarette lighter style outlet, which has automatic 12 amp overload protection.
  • Power Level Indication: Pressing the TEST button illuminates red power level lights. Three lights indicate full charge, two lights indicate 50% charge, and one light indicates low charge requiring recharge. A green 'Charged' light indicates full charge, and an amber 'Charging' light indicates the unit is charging.
  • Environmental Use: Can be used under various weather conditions including rain, snow, heat, and cold temperatures.

Maintenance Features:

  • Recharging with AC Charger (Preferred Method):
    • Ensure power clamps are in holsters.
    • Plug the AC charger cable into the unit's charge input socket and the charger into a 230V AC wall outlet.
    • The amber 'Charging' indicator will illuminate.
    • The unit charges automatically. When the green 'Charged' LED comes on, continue charging for another 3 to 6 hours for full capacity.
    • The unit can safely be left connected to the charger when not in use.
    • When new, charge for a minimum of 30 hours, potentially up to 72 hours for a full charge.
