Never make an attempt to start a vehicle lasting more than 15 seconds. If the broken down vehicle does not start after 2 attempts,
the breakdown is due to something other than the battery. Look for the real cause of the breakdown before making any further
attempts to start the vehicle.
FORCED START MODE
1
The vehicle’s battery is deeply discharged. In this case, the Kap’SAM® will not detect the polarity and will there-
fore not allow the device to operate. Proceed as follows.
2
Connect the Kap’SAM® clips to the broken down vehicle’s battery, making sure you check the polarities.
The vehicle ignition must not be on.
3
Press on the
ON
button and the
TEST
button at the same time for 3 seconds. When you do this,
the three state of charge indicators will come on at the same time (
).
4
The start light comes on.
5
Start the broken down vehicle.
6
After the Kap’SAM® stops:
• Disconnect the Kap’SAM®'s clips from the vehicle
• Roll up the cables and stow the clips in the place provided.
4. Recharging the Kap’SAM®
The Kap’SAM® recharges automatically by being connected directly to
a vehicle with a charged 12V battery. When the Kap’SAM® is used on
a broken down vehicle, it starts the vehicle and then in the next few
seconds it recharges itself automatically by drawing the energy it
needs from the vehicle’s charging circuit. If, however, your Kap’SAM®
is discharged before the intervention, it is possible to recharge it in a
few seconds by connecting the clips to any nearby vehicle with a 12V
battery with an operational engine.

Connect the Kap’SAM® clips to the battery of vehicle that is not flat making sure you check the polarities.
The vehicle ignition must not be on.
