3. The KWIKSTART contains the latest technology with its 2 -12 volt
sealed non-spillable batteries. The KWIKSTART may be stored in
any position.
RECHARGING PROCEDURES
When new, your KWIKSTART should be charged for a minimum of 30
hours, unless the voltage reads above 13.5V when the test button is
pressed.
NOTE: There are two ways to recharge the KWIKSTART. The first
method is automatic charging with the provided wall charger
(preferred). The second is through the DC power jack through
the power extension cord. The second method is not
automatic and requires watching because the KWIKSTART
could be damaged due to overcharging.
1. With the Wall Charger. The KWIKSTART is automatically charged
using the wall charger. A RECHARGING JACK (may be found on
the front of the KWIKSTART) is connected through a smart circuit
board to the KWIKSTART making recharging automatic.
Recharging takes approximately 24 hours. Overcharging is not a
problem when using the wall charger and the KWIKSTART can be
left connected to the wall charger indefinitely.
a. Turn the selector switch to 12V.
b. Insert the wall chargers plug into the CHARGING JACK (mounted
in the front of the KWIKSTART).
c. Connect the wall charger AC/DC ADAPTOR to the AC outlet (the
red CHARGING light will light).
d. The battery will be fully charged when the red light goes off.
e. If you are not going to need the KWIKSTART right away you may
leave the wall charger connected to the KWIKSTART. We
recommend that the wall charger remain connected to the
KWIKSTART whenever the KWIKSTART is not in use.
2. WITH THE OPTIONAL EXTENSION CORD. Plug one end of the
power extension cord into the KWIKSTART power receptacle and
the other end into a vehicle's lighter outlet (vehicle's engine should
be running first). Push the test button once every hour to check the
power level. When the voltage reads over 14V the battery is
charged. DO NOT OVERCHARGE! This is not an automatic
method of charging the KWIKSTART. Overcharging will damage
your KWIKSTART.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USED AS A BATTERY CHARGER
The KWIKSTART is intended, primarily, to be used to start or restart a
vehicle when the battery in the vehicle has become run down to the
point that it will not start the vehicle without assistance. However, the
KWIKSTART can also be used to restore some charge to the vehicle
battery.
1. Plug the power extension cord from the KWIKSTART into the
vehicle's cigar lighter outlet for 30 minutes.
NOTE: Some vehicle's ignition keys must be turned to accessory to
activate the cigar light socket.
2. Remove the power extension cord and start the car.
NOTE: A defective battery may refuse to accept a charge from the
KWIKSTART.
USED AS AN EMERGENCY JUMP STARTER
NOTE: For optimum performance, do not store below 50°F when using
as a jump starter.
1. Turn ignition off before making cable connections.
2. Use in a well ventilated area.
3. SHIELD EYES.
4. Clamp the positive (red +) clamp to the positive terminal on the
weak battery (for negative ground system).
5. Clamp the negative (black -) clamp to the vehicle frame (ground).
Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving belts or fan.
6. Switch the selector switch to the desired voltage.
7. Stay clear of batteries while jump starting.
8. Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition).
NOTE: If the vehicle does not start within 6 seconds, let the
KWIKSTART internal battery cool for 3 minutes before
attempting to start the vehicle again or damage to the
KWIKSTART may occur.
9. When the vehicle is started, turn the on/off switch to the OFF
position.
10. Disconnect the negative (-) battery clamp from the vehicle frame.
11. Disconnect the positive (+) clamp.
12. Return jumper cables to their stored position.
13. Recharge at earliest convenience.
USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE POWER SUPPLY FOR
VEHICLES
The KWIKSTART is an essential tool for all who replace automobile
batteries. Most vehicles have some type of electronic component with
memory, such as alarm systems, computers, radios, phones, etc...
and when the vehicle's battery is replaced, memory is lost. However, if
the if the power extension cord is plug from the KWIKSTART to the
cigar lighter outlet on the vehicle, the memories can be saved.
MULTI PURPOSE POWER SUPPLY
The KWIKSTART is also a portable power supply for all 12 VDC
accessories equipped with a male cigar lighter plug. The DC outlet
has automatic overload protection.
For maximum battery life do not discharge below 11V.
When the KWIKSTART is used with an inverter, it can operate
appliances normally powered by 120 VAC.
Recommended inverter for the KWIKSTART is 300 watts maximum.
For more information contact your nearest KWIKSTART dealer.
The most important item to insure
a long life from your KWIKSTART
is to keep the battery fully charged.
Charge after every use.
Charge every 3 months
