5.2 Voltage detection system for the models F - G
The booster is equipped with a voltage detection system. After the connection of
the clamps to the vehicle, a colored LED will indicate its voltage, as follows:
–
The green LED next to the 12 V connector lights up when the voltage
detected by the booster is between 3 V and 14,4 V.
–
The orange LED next to the 24 V connector lights up when the voltage
detected by the booster is over 14,4 V.
5.3 Hydrogen-exhaust system
The booster is equipped with a hydrogen-exhaust system which limits the risk of
explosion in case of misuse. When necessary, hydrogen gases will evacuate from
the booster thanks to the exhaust orifice.
Make sure the hydrogen-exhaust orifice is always clean and unclogged.
In case of accidental drop or shock, have the booster inspected by a qualified
service person, in order to make sure the internal pipe is still in place, directed
outwards, and is not pierced or clogged.
5.4 Fuse protection
The booster is equipped with a power fuse. It can melt following a short circuit or
a too long start attempt, for example. Methods to control the fuse:
–
If the fuse is melted, the voltmeter does not deviate when you press the
push button.
–
Check the continuity of the fuse using a multimeter.
–
Booster model B - F - G: If the fuse melted, the blue LED under the fuse
does not light up by pressing the voltmeter's push button.
The booster is also equipped with a spare fuse. For a quick repair, unscrew the
bolts and remove the melted fuse. Replace it by a new fuse making sure that you
correctly tighten the bolts.
When you replace the fuse, make sure that the fuse is always equivalent to the
original fuse.

Solution
Check for poor connection to
battery and frame. Make sure
connection points are clean.
Check the batteries charge
status by pressing the
voltmeter's push button of the
booster. This one must indicate
a voltage of at least 12,8 V.
