SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. To prevent the battery from overheating and consequent damage, use

the BOOST START facility sparingly and do not exceed our

recommendations.

2. Battery acid is highly corrosive. If spillage occurs, wipe off immediately and

wash copiously with water. Particularly avoid contact with the eyes.

3. Do not expose this unit to rain.

4. Never touch the negative and positive leads together.

5. Never attempt any electrical or mechanical repair. If you have a problem

with your machine contact your local stockist for service information.

6. Before charging ensure the battery terminals are clean, and that the cells

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

where necessary.

7. Where appropriate we recommend that the positive (+) lead to the

battery is disconnected on the vehicle prior to charging. This will prevent

damaging the vehicle electronics.

8. When charging is completed, ensure that the vehicle battery leads are

secured to the correct terminals which should be clean and lightly

smeared with petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. Finally, re check the

electrolyte level.

WARNING: BECAUSE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS RELEASED

IN THE PROCESS OF BATTERY CHARGING, ALWAYS REMEMBER TO SWITCH

OFF FIRST TO AVOID SPARKING, WHICH CAN OCCUR WHEN

CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING LIVE LEADS.

WARNING: CERTAIN TYPES OF SEALED OR MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERIES

NEED EXTRA CARE WHEN CHARGING. PLEASE CONSULT BATTERY

MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT.

WARNING: TOXIC FUMES CAN BE RELEASED DURING BATTERY

CHARGING, ONLY USE THIS UNIT IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
