Notes on charging procedure.

* A complete charge is best done slowly in order to protect your battery We

recommend the charging ratebe no more than 10% of the battery capacity rating

(AH). eg. a typical battery has a rating of 40 Ampere Hours, therefore the charging rate

should be 4 amps , and a complete charge will take 10 hours.

** If a low current reading (2 amps or less) is seen on the gauge, this may indicate that the

battery is either (a) already fully charged or (b) at the end of its useful life and in need

of replacement. Do not charge the battery for longer than is necessary.

Check the SG of the battery with a hydrometer

PROCEDURE FOR ENGINE STARTING

Note: We recommend that before attempting to boost start you charge the battery for 10-15

minutes. This will improve the chance of a first time start, particularly with big engines. When

the battery is completely flat, you must charge the battery for 10-15 minutes before attempting

to start, otherwise you may cause damage to the vehicle electronic systems.

a) Check that mains supply switch is OFF and the Current Control Switch is in the OFF

position.

b) Connect the cables as for normal charging.

c) Switch ON trhe mains supply.

d) Turn the key in the vehicles ignition to ‘start’, and get an assistant to hold the

Current Control Knob (A) in the BOOST START position.

IMMEDIATELY the engine starts, or after a maximum of 10 seconds, if the engine fails to

start, the Current Control Knob MUST be released. Failure to do this may cause damage

to some electronic equipment.

IMPORTANT: You must return the Current Control Knob to the OFF position after a

maximum of 10 seconds on boost start. Wait at least 30 seconds before repeating.

Failure to do this may damage the battery and the Start ‘N’ Charge unit and may

invalidate your guarantee.

NOTE: If the Start and Charge unit is overloaded at any time, a thermal cut out will

automatically come into operation, rendering it inoperative. These models are equipped

with a thermal overload indicator (D) which will illuminate. Allow approximately 5-10 minutes,

or wait for the indicator light to go out before using the unit again.
