INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
RECHARGING PORTABLE STARTER
Charge the starter for at least 8 hours immediately after purchase, and after each use. If not in use,
charge the starter every two months, for 8 hours, to maintain the internal battery in full working order.
• Make sure that no device is connected to the starter.
• Use the TEST button to check the battery charging status on the "Voltage" voltmeter:
• Green "Full" – battery is 100% charged
• Yellow "Med" – battery is approximately 60% charged
• Red "Low" – battery is approximately 30% charged.
• If the voltmeter indicator is not green, charge the battery of the starter.
• Connect the charger to a 230V power supply mains socket.
• Fit the plug of the charger into the charging socket on the front of the starter, "Input Charge".
• Only use the charger supplied with the starter.
• When charge is complete, do not leave the starter connected to the battery charger for a long period.
• Do not use the starter while it is charging.
ADDITIONAL 9V INTERNAL BATTERY OF PORTABLE STARTER
The starter is fitted with an additional 9V battery, which is needed to supply power to the control
processor.
If the alarm signal "Err 5" goes on, replace the battery.
To replace the battery, open the rear door in the case of the starter, remove the battery, disconnect the
posts and install a new battery.
Close the door.
USING PORTABLE STARTER – STARTING VEHICLES
• Check that the starter is off.
• If the voltage of the starter does not match the voltage of the vehicle's system, an explosion,
or damage to the vehicle, the starter and people could occur.
• Find the post corresponding to the vehicle's chassis; this is usually connected to the negative clip.
• 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.
• When polarity is reversed, the "Reverse" RED LED is enabled.
• Disconnect the clamps from the vehicle and connect them correctly.
• Check that the cables of the starter are away from fans, moving parts and the fuel pipe.
• Press the START/STOP button; the blue LED will turn on and "STRT" will be displayed.
• Start the engine within 30 seconds.
• After 30 seconds the starter will cut out automatically.
• If the starter is not enabled by pressing the Start key, the battery of the vehicle is likely to have a
voltage lower than 6 V; such voltage is required to enable the protection features. In this case, to start
the vehicle, move to the "FORCED START" mode, as described below.
• To cut out the starter, press the START/STOP button.
• Disconnect the output lead with black clamp (-) from the vehicle's chassis, and immediately replace
it in its case.
• Then disconnect the output lead with red clamp from the positive battery clip (+) and immediately
replace it in its case.
If the vehicle cannot be started after the first few attempts, do not try again. Before attempting a new
start, leave the starter to idle for at least 3 minutes, to prevent it from getting damaged.
• Charge the starter after each use.
