1. SAFETY

IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION: KEEP YOUR ROADSTART HEALTHY
Read and understand the general safety and operating instructions before use. The following information is intended to help you
keep the product in top working order.
NOTE - The battery in this unit is a consumable item and its ability to accept charge will reduce over time. We will warranty it against
mechanical and electrical defect for a period of one year - this does not cover fair wear and tear.

If the battery is not properly charged before first use, or regularly conditioned, its capacity will diminish. Under these circumstances we will not
replace the battery even if it is less than one year old.

You can help prolong the life cycle of the battery by following a few simple guidelines.

Plug in your new Roadstart to the mains transformer and make an INITIAL charge lasting 72 hours.
Ensure the unit is fully charged before storage.
DO NOT leave the Roadstart for longer than 2 months without putting it on charge.
DO NOT attempt to start a vehicle when the Roadstart battery voltage is reduced to less than 7.25Volts.
DO NOT drop or roughly handle the Roadstart - this will break or disjoin the battery terminals rendering the battery useless and the warranty
void.
DO NOT use any other charger, other than the one supplied, to recharge the battery.

DO NOT obstruct the ventilation grilles and protect against water ingress - these RoadStart units are tted with ventilation grilles to help

disperse any gases produced during the charging procedure.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.

Modern vehicles contain extensive electronic systems. You are required to check with the vehicle manufacturer, for any specific
instructions regarding the use of this type of equipment on each vehicle.
No liability will be accepted for damage/injury, where this product is not used in accordance with all instructions.

1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

9 Ensure there is another person within hearing range, or close enough to come to your aid should a problem arise, when working near a

lead-acid battery.

9 Have fresh water nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
9 Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working with a battery.
9 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing flush area with water. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean running water for

at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MSDS available from sealey.co.uk.

9 Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current

high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns.

1.2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

9 Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and potential hazards of the RoadStart.
9 Keep the unit in good working order and condition. Replace damaged parts immediately.
9 Use only recommended parts. To use unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
9 The RoadStart must only be opened and checked by qualified service personnel. DO NOT disassemble the unit for any reason.
9 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
9 Keep work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
9 Ensure that there is adequate lighting.
9 If the RoadStart receives a sharp knock or blow, it must be checked by a qualified service agent before being used.
9 When not in use re-charge every two months.

8 DO NOT smoke or allow a spark, or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
8 DO NOT drop any metal item onto the battery as it may spark or short circuit the battery, which could cause an explosion.

8 DO NOT use RoadStart to recharge dry cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may explode and

cause personal injury and damage to property.

8 DO NOT charge or boost a frozen battery.
8 DO NOT use attachments other than those recommended. To do so may risk damage to the unit and other equipment and possible

personal injury.

8 DO NOT pull or carry the unit by its cables and do not pull the negative and positive clamps from the battery terminals.

1.3. ELECTRICAL SAFETY (with respect to mains chargers)

 WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:

You must check the AC adaptor to ensure that it is safe before using. You must inspect the power supply lead, plugs and all electrical
connections for wear and damage.
You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current
Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used
with all electrical products.
It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that plug into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt
consult a qualified electrician. You can obtain a Residual Current Device through your Sealey stockist.
You must read and understand instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.3.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
person, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

1.3.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance and
the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.3.3. DO ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply.

1.3.4. DO ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.3.5. DO regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and power connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.3.6. DO check product voltage is the same as power supply to be used and check that all fused plugs are fitted with the correct capacity
fuses.
