4. OPERATION
4.1 How to use the starter:
WARNING:
meticulously, and always in the order given
below!
Always prevent the black and red clamps from touching each other
or a common cable!
- Select the 12V or 24V voltage using the connector in fig. A-12
(12V/24V model only) based on the vehicle starter system.
- Correct selection of the voltage takes place as outlined in fig. B.
- Make sure that the vehicle or boat to be started is switched off
(switch or ignition key in the OFF position).
- Connect the red clamp POS. (+) to the battery terminal POS. (+), then
connect the black clamp NEG. (-) to the vehicle chassis or the battery
terminal NEG. (-).
WARNING: failure to follow these rules may compromise
the operating life of the device:
- Turn the vehicle ignition to the start position for no more than 3
seconds.
- If the vehicle or boat does not start, wait at least 15 seconds
before trying again.
- If the vehicle or boat still does not start, wait at least 2 minutes
before trying again.
After a successful start, with the engine running, follow the sequence of
instructions below with great care:
- Disconnect the black clamp (negative) from the vehicle.
- Disconnect the red clamp (positive) from the vehicle.
- Remove the starter cable connector from the starter
- Place the cables and the starter in a dry place.
It is highly recommended to recharge the starter as soon as possible.
4.2 Using the starter as a power and/or charging device:
- Turn the main switch in fig. A-11 ON.
- Connect the device to power or recharge to one of the two USB ports
of the Drive (fig. A-6).
- Press the ON button in fig. A-9.
4.3 Using the LED lights
- Press and hold the ON button (fig. A-9) for a few seconds to enable
the continuous LED light function.
The press the button in the following sequence:
- once to start the blinking light;
- twice to start the emergency signal;
- three times to switch the light OFF.
5. CHARGING
Important! To achieve maximum battery performance, always
charge before use, then after every time it is used and, in any case,
at least every 3 months.
The unit can be charged using a 100V to 240V 50/60Hz power supply
(using the power supply adapter supplied, fig. A-4) or using a 12V cable
with a jack plug (fig. A-3).
To check if the battery must be charged, press the button fig. A-9
having activated the switch in fig. A-11.
The LEDs seen in fig. A-10 indicate the charge status of the battery,
which light up as the status increases:
- one LED only: low battery;
- all LEDs are on: fully charged battery.
5.1 Charging with 100V-240V 50/60Hz power supply
WARNING: Use the supplied power supply adapter only!
- Insert the power supply adapter plug (Fig. A-4) into a 230Vac socket
or other compatible with the network voltage.
- Now insert the relative output plug into the charger socket seen in
figure A-5.
- The LEDs seen in fig. A-10 light up in sequence when the unit is
charging and remain on when the unit is fully charged.
- The starter is fitted with a control device to prevent overcharging the
battery and power unit. Leave the system to charge for as long as
necessary.
5.2 Charging onboard the vehicle using 12Vdc power supply:
- Insert the jack plug on the supplied cable (Fig. A-3) into the cigarette
follow
these
instructions
lighter socket in the car or onboard the boat.
- Insert the other terminal of the supplied cable into the starter charge
socket (Fig. A-5).
6. DISPOSING OF THE BATTERY
When the starter battery is completely run down it should be sent to a
re-cycling facility. In some countries this is mandatory. Contact the local
special refuse authority for information on recycling.
WARNING:
Do not burn the battery to dispose of it. This could cause an explosion.
Before disposing of the battery, apply insulating tape to the bare
terminals to prevent shorting. Do not expose the battery to intense
heat or fire as this could cause an explosion.
