equipment on each vehicle. No liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this product is not used in accordance with all instructions.

9 Ensure that the vehicle is in a well ventilated area. 9 Apply the handbrake and select neutral or ‘park’ before attempting to start. 9 Ensure that the ignition switch and all ancillary electrical equipment is switched off. 9 Keep clear of any pulleys, belts etc. that will move once the engine starts. 9 Take care to ensure correct connection polarity; red clamp to positive, black clamp to negative. 9 Energise the E/START1600.V2 only at ambient temperatures between -30°C and 40°C. 9 When not in use, switch off and store in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.

8 DO NOT allow this power pack to become wet. 8 DO NOT dismantle this E/START1600.V2: there are no user serviceable parts inside. 8 DO NOT use in explosive atmospheres (e.g. the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust). 8 DO NOT use the E/START1600.V2 if it appears damaged in any way. 8 DO NOT use this product for any purpose other than that for which it is designed. 8 DO NOT leave in direct sunlight or expose to heat. 8 DO NOT use abrasive or solvent cleaners on this product. 8 DO NOT allow children to play with this product 8 DO NOT allow the positive and negative clamps to touch.

1.1. CHARGING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

9 Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the charger as well as the potential hazards. Also refer to the vehicle

manufacturer’s hand book. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

9 Ensure the charger is in good condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit, contact your Sealey stockist. 9 Use the starter/charger in the upright position only and ensure it is placed on a stable surface which will adequately support its weight. 9 Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly. 9 Ensure the output of the charger is the same voltage as the battery. 9 Ensure that during charging, the charger is placed in a location where there is sufficient ventilation to prevent the build up of explosive

gases from a lead acid battery.

9 If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power clamps. 9 If necessary top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.. If the charger receives a sharp

knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.

9 If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty clean them before attaching the power clamps.

9 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area. 8 DO NOT try to charge a non-rechargeable battery. 8 DO NOT try to charge battery if battery fluid is frozen.

 WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow

them to touch the battery terminals.

8 DO NOT allow power clamps to touch each other or to make contact with any metallic part of the vehicle. 8 DO NOT cross connect power leads from charger to battery. Ensure positive (+/RED) is to positive and negative (-/BLACK) is to negative. 8 DO NOT pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals. 8 DO NOT use the charger outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and DO NOT operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases. 8 DO NOT use the charger for a task for which it is not designed.

 WARNING! DO NOT simultaneously charge batteries of different capacities or discharge levels.  WARNING! If a fuse blows, ensure it is replaced with an identical fuse type and rating. Use only Sealey genuine parts.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

2. INTRODUCTION

Vehicle jump starting made easy with innovative patented technology. Unlike traditional boosters, it has no internal batteries, as it uses Ultracapacitors to maximise the discharged battery’s voltage. Simply connect to the vehicle’s battery, even if discharged, and the unit will draw enough power to energise itself in a matter of minutes. Power can then be pushed safely back through the starting system to jump start the vehicle. If the vehicle’s battery is faulty or holding less than 5 volts, the ElectroStart range can be pre-charged via another vehicle’s battery, a Micro USB charging cable (supplied with Model No. E/START800) or the 12V accessory lead (excludes Model No. E/START1224). The digital display indicates battery voltage, capacitor charge and faults. Safely store the unit without the need for battery maintenance, and no delay waiting for a battery to charge, the device is ready for use within minutes. Compact and lightweight for easier handling and storage, yet still delivers the same result as heavy, bulky, lead acid battery equivalents. Ideal for both professional mechanics and DIY users.
