1. Cau on

Read attentively the user manual before first use !!!

Failure to comply with the instructions can lead to damages or an explosion.

Always use the Booster in well ventilated areas, and wear eye protection and gloves.

Always use the Booster in a non conductive and non polluting atmosphere.

Never charge or jump-start a vehicle with a frozen battery.

This equipment may not be used by children or by those who can not read and under-

stand the manual. Store, use and charge the Booster out of the reach of children and

unauthorized persons.

Never store your Booster in its station if this one is not connected to a vehicle or to the

mains.

After receipt, connect the docking station and put your booster on charge for 24 hours,

before use.

2.2. Voltmeter

Press the button to show the charge level of the battery.

2.3. LED Clamp

The blue clamp is provided with a LED to avoid wrong connections in the darkness. To light

the LED, push simply on the red push-button.

This LED is supplied by 3 LR44 batteries placed in the handle of the clamp (on the push-

button’s size).

2.4. Alternator Tesng

After starting the engine at 2000 rpm, leave the Booster connected to the vehicle and press

the ‘voltmeter’ button. The voltmeter will indicate between 14 and 14,4 volts (at 2000

rpm) if the alternator is functioning correctly.

2.5. AC Docking staon – Workshop

Provided with an AC/DC 230V/12V automatic and electronic maintenance charger.

The simple fact of putting the Booster back into its docking station allows it to be charged

at 100% for the next intervention. Ideally, your booster must be charged permanently.

We highly recommend connecting the charger to a junction box to avoid any accidentally

unplugging (e.g.: by a colleague who needs to use the plug).

Make also sure that the charger is permanently supplied, some companies switch off the

main current at the end of the day -> the Booster is not charging anymore !!!

A support with a buttonhole allows the charger to be fixed next to the station; you will be

able to check at a glance that the Booster is charging.

If the light of the charger is:

Orange: your Booster is charging.

Green: your Booster is charged.

Red: the charging circuit is faulty. Warning: your Booster is not charging,

contact immediately your reseller.

A green LED is mounted on the top of your docking station and indicates the right connec-

tion of the Booster into the docking station.

2.6. DC docking staon - Vehicle

Developed to be connected to the recovery vehicle’s battery terminals, the simple fact of

putting the Booster back into its docking station allows it to be charged at 100% for the

next intervention.

Connection on the vehicle:

n Connect the black cable to the negative terminal of the battery (or the earth).

n Connect the red cable to the positive terminal of the battery.

-> For this, use the cables lugs provided for that purpose, if necessary.

A fuse of 15 or 20A can be mounted on the station circuit.

A green LED is assembled at the top of your docking station and indicates the recharge of

the Booster.

If you have connected your docking station to an auxiliary power supply in your vehicle, it

will be necessary to switch on the ignition or to run the engine to supply the station (green

LED).

A one-way diode installed on the docking station avoids the discharging of the Booster

towards the vehicle.

For a well charged Booster, the tension of the place where you connect the docking sta-

tion must be around 14,4V, engine running at about 2000 rpm.

3. Instruc on manual

3.1. To start a vehicle

Turn OFF ignition before using the Booster.

Connection

Connect the red clamp (+) to the positive terminal (+) of the battery, then connect the blue

clamp (-) to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.

Start the engine

Turn the ignition key for a maximum of 8-10 seconds, wait for a further 3 minutes before

attempting to start again.

Disconnection

Having started the engine, disconnect the blue (-) clamp 1st, followed by the red (+) clamp.

Storing

Return the cables and clamps to their support posts on the Booster.

Recharging

After use, put the Booster immediately back in its docking station !

3.2. Star ng a empt

When using the Booster to start an engine, do not crank for more than 8-10

seconds, and wait for a further 3 minutes before a second attempt.

If after the 3rd attempt the engine does not start, it may be necessary to identify a further

cause for the breakdown.

NOTE: if your Booster is fully charged but the starter turns slowly, the vehicle’s or Booster’s

battery may need checking for short circuit.

3.3. Protec on

Boosters are equipped with an internal fuse. It can melt following a short circuit or a too

long start attempt, for example.

Three methods to control the fuse:

Push on the voltmeter, if it does not deviate, the fuse is melted.

Look at the fuse status through the control window at the back of the Booster.

Measure the voltage at the clamps -> 0 volt = melted fuse.

OK Melted

3.4. Storage

The Booster can be stored in any position, without any danger for the battery, because it is

a dry battery, pure lead.

Do not store your Booster below 0°C (32° Fahrenheit) if you want to use it urgently. Too

cold, the Booster will miss performance. The ideal operating temperature is between 10 to

25°C (50 to 77° Fahrenheit).

Clamps must be stored on their support posts, ensuring they do not come to contact with

any metallic surface.

4. Prevenng premature failure of your Booster’s

baery

Correctly recharging the Booster battery, increases

its efficiency and its lifetime !

4.1. Recharging

The Booster must be imperatively put on permanent charge between use.

è Why ?

n Below 12,4V, the Booster battery will start to sulphate and irreversible loses perform-

ance. The lower the voltage, and the longer the time spent in a discharged state, the

deeper the sulphation. When not in use, the Booster battery must never drop below 12,4V

(well-charged = 13V).

Never recharge the Booster on a non-automatic garage charger or on an automatic

charger set on « fast charge » or « boost » position.

n You risk overcharging the Booster and higher than 14,7V, hydrogen may form inside of

the battery, resulting in explosion risk.

Never completely discharge the Booster’s battery.

n The battery does not have a memory effect.

n Danger of irreversible sulphatation.

Never recharge your Booster in 24V on board of a vehicle.

Verify that the charge voltage is optimal.

n Make sure that the tension where you connect the docking station is around 14,4V,

engine running at about 2000 rpm, otherwise verify the earth and connections. A 13V

tension is not enough to recharge the Booster.

4.2. Starng

Important: on vehicles difficult to start, crank the engine for a maximum of 8-10 seconds

and wait for 3 minutes before further attempt to restart the vehicle.

n Three reasons:

a. To allow the voltage of the Booster battery to build up again.

b. To allow the renewal of gasses inside the battery.

c. To allow the internal components of the battery to cool down.

n If you do not wait and/or the starting attempt is too long, you risk losing power, you

reduce your starting possibilities by the second attempt and you risk melting the fuse

inside.

Never connect the Booster to a battery or starter which is in short-circuit.

Never disconnect the Booster while engine running when there is no battery in the

vehicle or when the vehicle’s battery is at 0 volt.

n This may cause failure to the diodes of the alternator.

Never place the Booster in short-circuit, for example by connecting the red clamp (+) to

the negative terminal of the battery and the blue clamp (-) to the vehicle’s earth.

n The fuse of the battery will blow instantly.

4.3. Remark

If someone else uses the Booster, ensure they are well informed on how to use it safely,

and have read and understood the operating instructions. The longevity of the Booster

depends on it.

To ensure long life and optimal use of the Booster battery,

keep it in permanent charge in its docking station.
