INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
PORTABLE STARTER SAFETY
• Before use, check that the starter has not been damaged, and that there are no uncovered cables
or worn parts.
• Charge the starter for at least 8 hours immediately after purchase, and after each use.
• To maintain the internal battery in full working order, charge the starter every two months for 8 hours.
A starter that is left uncharged for a long time prevents the internal battery from being in full working order.
• Do not damage the electronic circuit of the starter.
PERSONNEL SAFETY
• Stay alert; watch what you are doing. Do not use the starter while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medications.
Always use the following personal protective equipment:
• safety shoes;
• eye protection;
• protective gloves against physical agents.
Use the starter in well-aired, dry rooms.
Never allow the clips of the clamps (positive-red and negative-red) to touch together.
• Check that the cables of the starter are kept away from fans, moving parts and the fuel pipe.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or metal objects when working on the vehicle.
• Before replacing the starter, make sure that it has cooled down and reached room temperature.
PORTABLE STARTER USE AND CARE
• Do not put any objects into any slots or openings on the surface of the starter.
• To recharge the starter, only use the charger supplied with it. Charge the starter in
well-ventilated, dry rooms; do not expose it to rain or snow.
• Do not use the starter if the case, the clamps, the cables or the charger have been damaged, if it gives
off unusual smells or too much heat.
• Do not modify the starter. This can reduce the effectiveness of safety measures and increase operator risk.
• Have the starter repaired only through a trained repair person and only using original replacement parts.
• The starter is designed to start lead acid batteries; do not start nonrechargeable batteries. Do not start
frozen batteries. Do not use the starter for any other purposes (for example, do not use it to charge
batteries).
• Do not start batteries with any voltages other than those stated in the TECHNICAL DATA table.
• Before carrying out any operations, turn off the lights of the vehicle and cut out any running accessories.
• Always check that the voltage of the starter matches the voltage of the vehicle's system,
to prevent explosions, or damage to the vehicle, the starter and people.
• Always connect the output lead with red clamp (+) to the positive post of the battery,
and the output lead with black clamp (-) to the vehicle's chassis.
• Never reverse polarity; reversed polarity can cause explosions or damage to the vehicle,
the starter and people.
