OVERVIEW

The illustration above identifies the various components and controls.

The charger is provided with a pair of leads complete with clamps for

connection to a battery. It is provided with appropriate outlet connections -

12V and 24V, as shown above. A Boost Start/ Charge Switch allows for

switching between functions.

A MAX/MIN switch allows for charging at two different rates and the unit is

provided with a two position Power Setting switch, which allows for even

greater control of charge rates as displayed on the Ammeter.

The main fuse is mounted on the front panel,as shown.

A Thermal Overload indicator fitted, see below. Please read thermal overload

notes on page 9.

ASSEMBLY

The handle and wheels need to be assembled before use.

Locate the handle at the back of the upper panel and secure with the four

self tapping screws provided.

Pass the axle into its housings at the bottom of the unit, then slide a wheel on

to each end. Retain in position by tapping on the retaining star washers

supplied, ensuring the tines of the washers point outwards.

PROCEDURE FOR NORMAL CHARGING

NOTE: Before charging or boosting, ensure that, where applicable, the cells

are filled with electrolyte to the correct level, by adding distilled water.

1. When charging a car battery in situ, we recommend that the non earthed

lead on the battery is disconnected prior to charging (On most vehicles,

this would be the RED, Positive lead - but check the vehicle handbook if

you are unsure).

This precaution is necessary as it is possible that damage could occur to any

electronically controlled system fitted to the vehicle, such as engine

management system, anti-theft alarm, alternator etc.

2. Check that the ON/OFF switch on the unit is in the OFF position.

3. Connect the RED, positive lead to either the 12V or 24V output on the

charger, as appropriate.

4. Connect the appropriate clamp to the unearthed battery terminal. On

most modern cars this is the RED, positive clamp connected to the RED,

positive terminal of the battery, but check your handbook if unsure. Then

connect the other clamp to the chassis (or a suitable engine bolt) away

from the battery and fuel line.

5. Remove the battery filler caps, where applicable, during charging, in order

to prevent the build up of dangerous gases within the battery.

6. Switch the CHARGE/BOOST START switch to the CHARGE position.

NOTE: Set the Power switch to position ‘1’.

7. Set the MIN (minimum charge) MAX (maximum charge) switch to the MIN

position. This is suitable for charging most normal car batteries (having an

ampere hour rating of approximately 40 A.H.).

8. Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON, and charging will commence.

Adjustments may be made to the charging rate by switching to MAX, and

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

on larger models by also switching the Power Setting switch to the 1 or 2

position as appropriate. i.e. 4 charging rates are possible - MIN-1, MIN-2,

MAX-1 and MAX-2.

9. Keep the battery on charge until the Ammeter gauge reads zero (or 0-2

amps) or has stopped moving down. Then switch off at the machine.

NOTES ON CHARGING PROCEDURE

• A complete charge is best done slowly in order to protect your battery,

so we recommend the MIN setting as described above.

• A complete charge may take up to 10 hours.

• If a low amperage reading (2 amps or less) is seen on the gauge at

either the MIN or MAX setting. This may indicate that the battery is either

(a) already fully charged or (b) at the end of its useful life and in need of

replacement.

• Do not charge the battery for longer than is necessary.

WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO RE-CHARGE NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

WARNING: IF THE FIXED POSITIVE LEAD AND THE FIXED NEGATIVE LEAD

ARE CONNECTED TO THE WRONG TERMINALS, THEN A FLASH WILL OCCUR

WHEN THE 2ND. CLAMP IS ATTACHED. DAMAGE TO THE CHARGING UNIT

AND THE BATTERY WILL BE AVOIDED AS YOUR START N CHARGE IS FITTED

WITH A POLARITY PROTECTION FEATURE. IT WILL HOWEVER BE NECESSARY

TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL FUSE. REMOVE THE BLACK PLASTIC COVER ON

THE FRONT PANEL (MARKED FUSE) AND REPLACE THE BURNT FUSE.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

PROCEDURE FOR ENGINE STARTING

NOTE: We recommend that before attempting to boost start, you charge the

battery for 10-15 minutes. This will improve the chance of a first time

start, particularly with bigger engines. When the battery is completely

flat, you must charge the battery for 10-15 minutes before attempting

to start, otherwise you may cause damage to the vehicle electronic

systems.

1. Check that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

2. Connect the cables as for normal charging - see para c and d, page 6.

3. Check that the CHARGE/BOOST START switch is in the CHARGE position.

4. Switch the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

5. Turn the key in the vehicle’s ignition to ‘START’, and get an assistant to

switch the CHARGE/BOOST START switch to BOOST START position.

IMPORTANT: If the engine fails to start almost immediately, you MUST return

the CHARGE/BOOST START switch to CHARGE position after a maximum

period according to the BOOST START DUTY CYCLE - i.e. 10 secs ON followed

by 30 secs before retrying.

IMPORTANT: Failure to do this could damage some vehicle electronic

equipment, the battery, and possibly the Start ‘N’ Charge unit which may

invalidate your guarantee.

THERMAL OVERLOAD

This Booster/Charger is provided with a Thermal Overload cut-out.

Should the Duty Cycle be exceeded or should the unit overheat for any

reason, the thermal overload will intervene, shutting down the charger.

If this occurs, wait for 15 - 20 minutes, depending upon ambient temperature,

before attempting to re-use.

An amber indicator lamp is found on the top panel, which will illuminate when

the overload has intervened. It will extinguish once it has reset and the unit is

ready for use once again.

MAINTANENCE

This charger requires minimal maintenance. As with any appliance or tool, a

few common sense rules will prolong the life of the battery charger.

1. Clean the case and leads with a moist cloth.

2. Clean corrosion from the clamps with a solution of water and baking soda.

3. Examine the leads at regular intervals for damage and have them

replaced if necessary

STORAGE

1. Wind up the connecting leads and power cable when not in use and store

in the compartment when not being used.

2. Store in a clean, dry area.

WARNING: ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHARGER IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE

MAINS AND ANY BATTERY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR

CLEANING.

WARNING: ALL OTHER SERVICING/REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE BY

QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
