1. SAFETY
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on
engines.
1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Ensure there is another person within hearing range, or close enough to come to your aid should a problem arise, when working
near a lead-acid battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working with a battery.

clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
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.

IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION: KEEP YOUR ROADSTART HEALTHY
Read and understand the general safety and operating instructions before use. The following information is intended to help you
keep the product in top working order.
NOTE – The battery in this unit is a consumable item and its ability to accept charge will reduce over time. We will warranty it
against mechanical and electrical defect for a period of one year - this does not cover fair wear and tear.
If the battery is not properly charged before first use, or regularly conditioned, its capacity will diminish. Under these circumstances we will
not replace the battery even if it is less than one year old.
You can help prolong the lifecycle of the battery by following a few simple guidelines.
• Plug in your new Roadstart to the mains transformer and make an INITIAL charge lasting 38 hours.
• Ensure the unit is fully charged before storage.
• DO NOT leave the Roadstart for longer than 2 months without putting it on charge.
• DO NOT attempt to start a vehicle when the Roadstart battery voltage is reduced to less than 7Volts.
• DO NOT drop or roughly handle the Roadstart – this will break or disjoin the battery terminals rendering the battery useless and the
warranty void.
• DO NOT use any other charger, other than the one supplied, to recharge the battery.
