4.4.
RECHARGING, see Section 8 also.
4.4.1.
NEVER wait until the Roadstart is completely discharged before recharging.
4.4.2.
A fully automatic and intelligent charger AC 230V is provided with the Roadstart. Connect the charger to the mains AC 230V, then
connect the charger to the Roadstart via the recharge plug. The Roadstart can be left permanently connected to the automatic charger,
to maintain correct charge level.
5. PREPARATION FOR USE
WARNING! Risk of contact with battery acid. Battery acid is a highly corrosive sulphuric acid.
‰
5.1.
Clean the battery terminals before using the Roadstart. During cleaning, keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact with your
eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize the battery acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion. DO NOT touch
your eyes, nose or mouth.
5.2.
Read, understand and follow all instructions for the Roadstart, battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and the
Roadstart.
5.3.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's manual and make sure that the output voltage of the Roadstart
is correct.
5.4.
make sure that the Roadstart cable clamps make tight connections.
5.5.
CONNECTION TO A BATTERY
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY:
5.5.1.
Attach the output cables to the battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the output clamps to touch each other.
5.5.2.
Position the cables to reduce the risk of damage by the engine cover, door and moving or hot engine parts.
NOTE: If it is necessary to close the bonnet during the jump starting process, ensure that the bonnet does not touch the metal part of
the battery clamps or cut the insulation of the cables.
5.5.3.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
5.5.4.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most
vehicles), see step 5.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 5.5.7.
5.5.5.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect first the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the Roadstart to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
unearthed post of the battery. Then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. DO NOT connect the clamp to the carburettor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the
chassis frame or engine block.
5.5.6.
When disconnecting the Roadstart, first remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, then remove the clamp from the battery terminal,
in that order.
5.5.7.
In the rare event that the vehicle is positive-grounded, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from the Roadstart to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. DO NOT connect the clamp to the carburettor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
