Starting Aid - VOLTCRAFT VC 900 A Mode D'emploi

13. STARTING AID

The quick-start system is only suitable for vehicles with a board voltage of 12 V where the minus pole of the vehicle
battery is connected to the car body.
Always observe the information and safety notes in the vehicle operating instructions regarding
how starting aid is possible. Modern vehicles have sensitive electronics components and control
devices that will be damaged if the wrong procedure is used!
• Switch off the ignition of the vehicle you want to provide starting aid for. Switch off all electrical consumers (e.g.
radio, light, etc.).
• Ensure that the battery installed in the quick-start system is fully charged (see section "charge condition display" for
internal battery)
• The rotary switch (18) must be in the position "OFF". Also switch off all other functions of the quick-start system
(compressor, working lamp, voltage converter, etc.).
• For vehicles where the minus pole of the vehicle battery is connected to the car body (current vehicles), first connect
the red alligator clamp of the quick-starting system to the plus pole ("+") of the vehicle battery.
• Then the black alligator clamp has to be connected to a blank metal part (no painted sheet, no plastic) of the motor
block. Keep as much distance as possible from the vehicle battery and any fuel lines.
• If the plus and minus cables are connected correctly, the LED (6) will light up green.
• If the cable clamps are swapped, the LED (6) will light up red.
• Turn the rotary control (18) to position "ON".
• Perform a starting test for the vehicle (approx. 5 - 6 seconds). Do not have the starter on for more than 6 seconds.
The quick-start system is not intended for longer starting attempts. After the 6 seconds, wait for at least 3 minutes.
• If the motor does not start even after several starting attempts, stop your starting aid.
• First disconnect the black alligator clamp from the vehicle, coil it laterally on the quick start system and fasten the
alligator clamp in the intended holder (5).
• Only then disconnect the red alligator clamp from the vehicle battery. Coil this cable on the other side of the
quick-starting system and fasten the alligator clamp to the holder intended for this as well.
• Charge the quick-starting system again.
