ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Locations of the fuses:
Inside the handle of the positive clamp. Our fuses come with a small window to see if the fuse is broken or not.
Fuses are very easy to change. First open the window with a screwdriver and then remove the two bolts
holding the fuse. Be careful not to remove the two bolts behind the fuse. Then replace the fuse and tighten the two
bolts to hold the fuse. Please also note that the physical dimension of the fuse will vary, depending if it is a fuse for
the Booster itself or a fuse that is installed inside the clamp.
B. REVERSE POLARITY ALARM
The reverse polarity alarm, or Buzzer, will emit a sound and light when it detects a reverse polarity.
To make sure it is used properly, always have the booster turned OFF or disconnected before use. Then connect
the clamps to the vehicle's terminals or battery and at this moment the alarm will emit a noise and light if it detects
a reverse polarity connection. If the clamps are properly connected, nothing will happen.
In this case, you can then turn your unit ON, or select the proper voltage on a 12/24V model before jump starting
your vehicle.
C. 12/24V CONNECTOR / SWITCH
The 12/24V models are either equipped with a Switch or with a Red Connector. In both cases the unit can be turned
OFF, by either placing the switch in the centre (position OFF), or by pulling the red connector out (please make sure
not to pull on the cables but only on the connector handle).
Then to select the proper voltage, please refer to the battery of the vehicle (by reading the user manual of the vehicle
itself). Once you have made sure of the voltage, either turn the switch to 12V or 24V, or plug the red connector on
the side of the 12V or the side of the 24V. It is important to select the correct voltage to avoid damaging the vehicle,
or Booster and to void any explosion due to over charge.
Before turning the Booster ON, make sure that the clamps are properly connected and that there is no reverse
polarity. Then turn the Booster ON to jump start the vehicle. Once the vehicle has started, please remove first the
negative clamp, turn the Booster OFF and then remove the positive clamp.
D. CHARGE STATUS
Digital/Analogue Voltmeter: These two voltmeters will only indicate the voltage of the Booster.
If your Booster is below 12.7V, you need to recharge it. When you leave your Booster connected on the vehicle
for 10 seconds maximum, the voltmeter should read the voltage output of the alternator, which will let you know
if the alternator is working properly or not. (a working alternator has an output of approximately 14V).
E. CHARGING METHODS
There are different types of chargers available for the Start Boosters:
Automatic Chargers:
It comes in 12V or 24V. This series is fully automatic, which means that it will not overcharge your Booster.
Charging cord:
This Charging cord is designed only for Start Boosters with batteries. It is meant to recharge your Booster from the
cigar socket of your vehicle whilst driving. Make sure to disconnect it when the vehicle is not turned ON, to avoid
discharging the battery.
Make sure to only use the supplied charger. Using a non-authorized charger will void the warranty and can be
dangerous. Batteries or Capacitors that are overcharged will inflate and start producing gases, which may cause an
explosion or a fire. That is why we only recommend using the supplied charger in a well ventilated area.
