6.3 CHARGING WITH THE PLUG-IN CHARGER

Rotate the selection switch for the starter aid voltage, located
on the rear of the device (Position 12 in the overview), to the
„12 V AND CHARGING" setting. Plug the coaxial connector
of the plug charger (Position 13 in the overview) into the
charging socket of the power pack (Position 11 in the
overview). Now, connect the plug charger with the mains
socket. The charge control lamp (Position 3 in the overview)
now lights in red. When the battery pack is charged, the
control LED lights in green. After charging, first disconnect
the plug charger from the mains socket, then disconnect the
coaxial connector from the charging socket of the power
pack. Rotate the selection switch for the starter aid voltage,
located on the rear of the device (Position 12 in the overview),
to the „OFF" setting. If you now press the control button for the
charge status (Position 5 in the overview), the Voltmeter
shows a voltage of approximately 13 V for the charge status
(Position 7 in the overview).

6.4 CHARGING WITH THE 12 V MOTOR

VEHICLE CHARGING CABLE

Rotate the selection switch for the starter aid voltage, located
on the rear of the device (Position 12 in the overview), to the
„12 V AND CHARGING" setting. Plug the coaxial connector of
the 12 V charging cable (Position 14 in the overview) into
the charging socket of the power pack (Position 11 in the
overview). Now connect the 12 V plug to the 12 V socket
of your vehicle. The charge control lamp (Position 3 in the
overview) now lights in red.
This method is only capable of charging the battery up to
approximately 50% of its capacity. We recommend only using
this system in emergencies otherwise the lifetime of the
battery and the starting power will be reduced.
CAUTION
Only charge the power pack when driving or
when the motor is running, otherwise there
is a risk that the starter battery of your
vehicle may be discharged.

6.5 STARTING PROCEDURE

Make sure that the power pack is fully charged. To do this,
press the control button for the charge status (Position 5 in the
overview). If the Voltmeter shows a voltage of around 13 V, the
power pack is ready for use.
The starting aid function of the power pack
is designed only for vehicles with a 12 V and
24 V on-board voltage. Before using, consult
the operating instructions of your vehicle to
determine which voltage your vehicle uses,
and whether an external starting aid may
be used. Modern vehicles have sensitive
electronics and control devices that may be
damaged if the wrong procedure is used.

6.6 SELECTING THE STARTER AID VOLTAGE

Set the selection switch for the starter aid voltage, located
on the rear of the device (Position 12 in the overview), to the
appropriate voltage for your vehicle, 12 V or 24 V.

6.7 CONNECTING THE POWER PACK

(VEHICLES WITH NEGATIVE EARTH)

Please observe the vehicle manufacturer's specifications!
(see owner's manual).
Switch off the ignition and all electrical consumers of the
vehicle (radio, lights, rear window heating, seat heating
etc.). Apply the parking brake. Rotate the On/Off switch
for the starter aid (Position 4 in the overview) to the OFF
setting. First connect the red (+) pole callipers (Position 1 in
the overview) to the plus pole of your vehicle battery. The black
(-) pole callipers (Position 10 in the overview) is connected, as
far as possible from the battery, to the motor block or chassis
(not to a painted part). If the power pack has been
connected correctly, the incorrect poling protection display
(Position 8 in the overview) lights in green. If this is not the
case, the incorrect poling protection display lights in red
and an acoustic warning is issued. In this case, check the
connections of the pole callipers and correct. Now rotate the
On/Off switch for the starter aid to the ON position.

6.8 ATTEMPTING TO START

Start the motor. Do not operate the starter for longer than
6 seconds. The battery of the power pack is not designed
for longer starting attempts. Pause for at least 5 minutes
between two starting attempts. If the motor does not start
after a number of attempts, abort the process and investigate
the cause of the defect.

6.9 REMOVING THE POWER PACK

Rotate the On/Off switch for the starter aid and the
selection switch for starter aid voltage to the OFF setting. First
disconnect the black (-) pole calliper, coil the cable and attach
the pole calliper to the designated holder. Then disconnect
the red (+) pole calliper, coil the cable and attach the pole
calliper to the designated holder. Always maintain this
sequence. Recharge the power pack.

6.10 USE AS 12 V VOLTAGE SUPPLY

The power pack can be used as a 12 V direct current source for
many devices that can be operated with 12 V direct current
and a vehicle plug. Plug the vehicle plug of the device you wish
to operate into the 12 V outlet. The device you wish to operate
should not require a current greater than 10 A. The outlet of
the power pack has an automatic fuse that will deactivate the
device at a current greater than 10 A. If deactivation occurs,
immediately disconnect the power pack and the operating
device. After approximately three minutes, the fuse will free
the outlets for use.
