USE

AUXILIARY STARTER BATTERY

• The auxiliary starter has a built-in, maintenance-free, sealed, rechargeable lead acid battery.
• The auxiliary starter is partially charged on delivery, but must be charged for at least 38 hours before first use, even if the indicator light shows a fully charged battery. Otherwise the battery could be permanently damaged.
• Do not charge the auxiliary starter for more than 48 hours. Only use the adapters supplied for charging.
• Ensure that the battery is always charged, so it is ready for use when needed. The battery will not be damaged by being charged often. Charge the battery as soon as possible after use, and it will last longer. The battery lifetime will be shortened if it is discharged a lot and often without being recharged.
• Do not allow the auxiliary starter battery to remain discharged for long periods, as this can destroy the battery. Lead acid batteries discharge by themselves over time, particularly at extreme temperatures.
• Store in a dry and cool place. The battery should be maintenance charged at 2–3 month intervals if it is not used – more often if it is stored in a very hot or very cold place – to keep it in the best condition.
• NOTE: Do not use any of the functions of the auxiliary starter while charging is in progress.

Charge the auxiliary starter battery via a 230 V mains outlet.

• Connect the 230 V charger to a mains outlet and to the charging connection on the auxiliary starter. The charging indicator light will come on.
• It takes 34–36 hours to charge the battery fully, depending on the charge level.

Charge the auxiliary starter battery via a 12 V outlet.

• Connect the cable for 12 V charging to the vehicle's 12 V outlet and to the 12 V charging connection on the auxiliary starter unit.
• It takes 14–16 hours to charge the battery fully, depending on the charge level.
• NOTE: On some vehicles, the ignition must be switched on for the 12 V outlet to be live.

BATTERY CONTROL

• Press the battery control button to see the charge level in the built-in battery in the auxiliary starter.
• The indicator lights come on to show the battery charge level. The indicator lights go off when you release the button.
• Disconnect the charging adapter from the battery to get a correct indication.

Indicator lights

A. Two green indicator lights: No charging required. The battery is fully charged. Ideal level for auxiliary starter.
B. Green indicator light: Good charging level. The auxiliary starter can power most appliances intended for 12 VDC. It may need to be fully charged to be used as an auxiliary starter.
C. Orange indicator light: Low charge level – recharge as soon as possible.
D. Battery control button
E. Red light: Recharge as soon as possible – very low charge level.
F. The red light comes on while the battery is being charged and stays on when it is fully charged. The light goes off when the charging adapter is disconnected.

WORK LIGHT

• The work light is powered by the built-in battery in the auxiliary starter.
• Switch the working light on and off with the power switch.
• Switch the work light off when not in use to save the battery.

AUXILIARY STARTING OF ENGINE

NOTE: Place the auxiliary starter so that it cannot fall over when the vehicle starts. Place the cables so they cannot be damaged by the cooling fan or drive belts.

Before auxiliary starting of engine

• The auxiliary starter must be fully charged when it used to start the engine. Check that the power switch for the starter cables is in the OFF position.
• Do not attempt to use the auxiliary starter to start the engine if the battery indicator light is not green when you check it – this could permanently damage the battery.
• Switch off the ignition and all systems (lights, radio, air-conditioning etc.) in the vehicle. Put it

out of gear and pull the handbrake on. Automatic gearboxes should be in position P (parking).

- Disconnect any equipment connected to the 12 V outlet. Turn all switches on the auxiliary starter to the OFF position.

Auxiliary starting of engine

1. Check that the negative terminal on the battery is connected to the vehicle chassis (usually).
2. Connect the red positive clamp (+) on the auxiliary starter firmly to the positive terminal (+) on the vehicle battery.
3. Connect the black negative clamp (-) firmly to some metal part of the vehicle as far away from the battery as possible. Do not connect it to the negative terminal on the battery. Check that both terminals make good contact. Check polarity markings on the cable.
4. If the indicator light is green, turn the power switch for the starter cables to the ON position.
5. If the indicator light is red, you should swap the connection clamps over before continuing.

6. Run the starter motor repeatedly for 5–6 seconds until the engine starts.

7. If the engine does not start after 2–3 attempts, let the auxiliary starter cool for 3 minutes and try again.

8. Stop trying to start the engine immediately if the battery indicator light does not show that the battery is sufficiently charged.

9. Once the engine has started, turn the switch for the starter cables to the OFF position then disconnect first the black negative clamp (-) and then the red positive clamp (+).

10. Replace the clamps on the auxiliary starter and charge the battery as soon as possible.
