correctly and the cable restraint is tight.
1.2.2 DO NOT use this product with a standard extension cable. Only use ARMOURED extension
cable.
DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON,
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGING EQUIPMENT.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers 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.
1.3. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice, or close enough
to come to your aid, should a problem arise when working near a lead-acid battery.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean
running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
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.
Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

1.4. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards relating to starter/chargers. Also refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s
hand book. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN.
Ensure the starter/charger is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact an electrician.
Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use non-recommended items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
Use the starter/charger in the vertical position only and ensure it is placed on a stable surface which will adequately support the weight.
Ensure the starter/charger is ‘Off’ before attaching/detaching the power clamps to/from the battery.
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and moving parts of the engine clearly.
Ensure the voltage on the starter/charger is set to the same voltage as the battery. Check position of positive battery cable.
If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power clamps. If necessary
top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions (apply the personal safety precautions described
in para. 1.3).
The cables may become hot with excessive use. If so, allow a few minutes for them to cool down before attempting to re-use.
