GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING: ALL LEAD ACID BATTERIES GENERATE HYDROGEN GAS
DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THIS PROCESS INCREASES DURING
A PERIOD OF RAPID DISCHARGE.

WARNING: HYDROGEN GAS AND BATTERY ACID (SULPHURIC ACID)
CAN BE EXPLOSIVE, CORROSIVE TO SKIN, EYES AND HAIR,
DAMAGING TO CLOTHING AND METALS, FLAMMABLE, POISONOUS
TO BREATHE.

1. DO NOT leave the device exposed to the elements. Avoid direct sunlight, direct
heat, rain/moisture etc.

2. The device must only be used indoors or completely protected from the rain.
This also applies to any device being powered by the jumpstarter.

3. DO NOT operate the device if any of the cables are damaged. Consult your
CLARKE dealer for repair or replacement of the parts.

4. DO NOT operate the device if the case is damaged. Consult your CLARKE dealer
or a qualified person for inspection and repair.

contact your local CLARKE dealer.

10. ALWAYS keep your body and clothing dry. NEVER work in a damp area without
adequate insulation against electric shock.

11. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when working with lead acid batteries.

12. If splashed by battery acid, immediately flush the area of the splash with clean
water. If a burning sensation is felt or any blistering occurs, seek medical help.

13. If battery acid comes into contact with the eyes, flush the eyes with clean water
continuously and seek medical help.

14. ALWAYS ensure that there is air circulating around the unit when in use.

JUMP STARTING A VEHICLE

WARNING: IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
COULD BE DAMAGED BY JUMP STARTING. ALWAYS CHECK WITH
THE CAR MANUFACTURER’S HANDBOOK TO DETERMINE WHAT
PRECAUTIONS IF ANY SHOULD BE TAKEN.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND
THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 3-4 MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY, DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR BATTERY.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

CAUTION: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, DO
NOT USE THE JUMP STARTER ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS NO BATTERY
INSTALLED.

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH POSTIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY CLAMPS
TOGETHER.

NOTE: This device will not jumpstart a vehicle if the battery is very low.

NOTE: Ensure that the jumpstarter is at least 80% charged before you attempt

to jumpstart.

CONNECTING THE JUMPER CABLE TO THE JUMPSTARTER

1. Lift the rubber plug and insert the
jumpstarter cable connector into the vehicle

starter cable port.

• The LEDs on the smart cable will indicate

the units internal battery voltage status
and the display symbols will flash.

CONNECTING THE START LEADS TO THE VEHICLE BATTERY

ALWAYS carry out the following preliminary checks before connecting the jump-start

to the car battery:

• Switch off the vehicle ignition and all ancillary equipment (lighting, radio etc.)

• Ensure the vehicle battery is rated at 12V and not damaged in any way.

• Ensure the area is well ventilated.

• Make sure that the battery terminals are clean and the clamps are firm and

secure.

• If fitted, remove any vehicle battery filler plugs and check the electrolyte

level. If necessary, top up with distilled water.

• Verify the jump starter is fully charged and recharge if needed.

1. Connect the red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal first. Take
care the clamps DO NOT touch any moving parts or fuel lines.

2. Connect the black clamp to the earthed battery terminal, (this is usually the
negative (-ve) terminal and coloured BLACK) or to a suitable earthing point on the
vehicle chassis ensuring the connections are firm and secure. Consult the vehicle
manual for correct connection position.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

NOTE: If the battery fails to be

detected (due to low
voltage), then the cable
has an override switch
available, this is on the side
as shown. When this is
pressed the output of

15.6V becomes available
on the crocodile clamps even if a battery is not present.

THIS FUNCTION SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Switch or press the vehicle ignition to ‘start’. If the engine does not start, SWITCH
OFF the ignition and wait for at least 30 seconds before trying again.

2. If the vehicle does not start after 3 attempts, investigate any problems with the
vehicle systems before re-trying.

3. Once the engine is running, disconnect the earthed (-) clamp FIRST i.e. that
connected to the chassis or Negative (-) terminal etc, then disconnect the Positive
(+) clamp from the battery terminal. You should remove the connections

within 30 seconds of starting the vehicle.

4. Leave the vehicle engine running for a while to let the alternator recharge the
battery.

• Take great care not to touch the red positive (+) clamp against the black

negative (-) clamp when connected to the jumpstarter.

5. Leave the jumpstarter for 30 minutes before re-charging following jumpstarting a
vehicle.

• If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state its life may be

reduced.

• The jumpstarter will power off automatically when no load is found.

WARNINGS AND ISSUES

1. When the clamps are connected to
the vehicle battery (the battery

voltage must be ≥ 8V), the
symbol lights up and displays the
current vehicle battery voltage.

2. When the clamps are only connected
to the jumpstarter:

• The current voltage is displayed

on the cable display and the upper small symbols cycle from left to right,
indicating the voltage of the jumpstarter is suitable for starting.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

• The characters will display on the cable display, the buzzer beeps

long or symbol lights up, the buzzer beeps every second, indicating
the voltage of the jumpstarter is not suitable for starting. Charging of
jumpstarter needed.

• When the symbol flashes, the buzzer beeps a long alarm this

indicates the relay is sticking. The alarm beeps once a second, this
indicates that the temperature is abnormal.

3. When the jumpstarter and vehicle battery are correctly connected, the cable
displays the current battery voltage indicating the vehicle is energized and can be
started.

4. When starting the vehicle, if the symbol lights up on the cable display with
the symbol flashing, the buzzer beeps every second, this indicates that
the temperature is abnormal.

5. When the clamps are connected to the jumpstarter, if only the current voltage is
displayed and the cable display, DO NOT let the clamps come into contact with
each other.

6. When the clamps are connected to the jumpstarter, if only the current voltage is
displayed and the cable display, DO NOT connect the clamps to the wrong
terminals.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Always ensure the cables & clamps are in good condition and the clamps are clean
and corrosion free. If damaged they should be replaced. Keep the unit clean by
wiping with a dry cloth. DO NOT use solvents as a cleaning agent.

Keep the unit fully charged at all times and store away from direct sunlight, moisture
or sources of extreme heat or cold.

NEVER attempt any repair unless you are a qualified technician. Your jump-start has
been designed to give long and trouble free service. If, however, having followed the
instructions in this booklet carefully, you encounter problems, take the unit to your
local CLARKE dealer.
