12V AccessorY socKets:
This unit is fitted with 2 x 12V power accessory sockets. To use these output sockets, plug in your device and power will output as
soon as a connection is made. These sockets combined are rated at 15 Amps. Please do not exceed these rated limits to
prevent overloading the internal circuitry. ensure the rubber dust covers are placed over the sockets when not in use to prevent dust or
moisture from entering the socket.

RechaRging the jumpstaRteR unit
4.6.1.
for maximum battery life it is recommended that this unit be kept fully charged at all times.
if the battery is allowed to remain in a
discharged state, battery life may be shortened. the following table shows frequency of use between charges and estimated number
of charge/recharge cycles:
number of Jumpstarts between recharging
Approx. recharging time(Hours)
1
1000+
5
700+
10
500+
When charging turn the power switch to 12V. if the power switch is on “off” or “24V” the unit will not charge and will start beeping as a
warning.
4.7.
to pRolong BatteRy life:
4.7.1.
recharge the unit every 3 months even if it isn’t used.
4.7.2.
recharge the unit as soon as possible after use.
4.7.3.
Avoid storage in extreme temperatures where possible (above 50 degrees celsius and below 0 degrees celsius).
4.7.4.
never store the unit in a discharged state.
4.8.
BatteRy disposal:
the lead acid battery contained in this Jumpstarter should be recycled once expired (consult your local authority requirements for safe
disposal of lead acid batteries).
to remove the battery, remove the screws surrounding the back housing then remove the rear panel to expose the battery cavity.
unscrew the two hex head screws on the battery terminals and then gently slide the battery out of its cavity. once the battery is out,
insulate the battery terminals with strips of electrical tape to prevent accidental short circuits.
5. inBuilt safety systems
5.1.
this jump starter is fitted with sophisticated electronic safety systems to protect the unit and the connected battery in the result of
accidental user error. even with these protection systems in place, extreme care should be taken with the correct identification of the
system voltage and the batteries being jump started:
5.1.1.
Short circuit protection: In the event of accidentally touching the Positive and Negative clamps together while switched on, the unit will
shut off output power thereby preventing a dangerous overload situation. A small spark may still emit from the alligator clamps, care
should still be taken to not short circuit the unit around lead acid batteries.
5.1.2.
Reverse Polarity Protection: If the unit is accidentally connected in the reverse polarity when switched on, the red LED on the front
panel will illuminate along with a continuous warning tone (beep). Power will not output during reverse connection, simply switch off the
main switch and correct the polarity of the connection before attempting to use again. the jump start will only detect a reverse polarity
connection when the main switch is on.
5.1.3.
24V battery connection protection (when switched to 12V): in the event of accidental connection to a 24V battery system when 12V
selection is switched on, the jump start unit will automatically enable its overload protection and switch power output off. the red led will
illuminate on at the front panel, along with the warning tone. even though this protection will protect the jump start from catastrophic
failure, extreme care should be taken by the user to correctly identify the type of battery to be jump started and the operating voltage of
the system.
5.1.4.
over load and over temperature protection: When in use as a jump starter, if load is too big or unit is under load for too long, the red led
on front panel will flash, also the jump starter will stop output. After a period of resting time it will automatically start again.
5.1.5.
low Voltage alert – a single beep will be heard every 25 seconds when recharging is required, or approximately 60% remaining charge.
this will occur only when the main power switch is switched on.
