SAFE & SIMPLE Smarty Clamps®

• Unique hinge design allows for an extra-wide opening & easy handling
• Conductive metal on each side of the clamp jaws make for a more powerful connection
• Intuitive Smart Box guides you through the jump using a series of lights and sounds

Smarty Clamps® Have Built-in Safety Protections:

• Anti-Spark: The clamps won’t become “live” with power until they are properly connected to a vehicle battery this prevents sparks from occurring!

• Connection Detection : The green light on the clamps lets you know when you have a strong, safe connection.
  

• Power Surge: Your Weego 44s is designed to deliver up to 440A of power. The clamps will cut off power if your engine pulls more than the rated 440A.
  

• Reverse Polarity: If you accidentally reverse the connection of the clamps to your vehicle battery (positive clamp to negative terminal, etc.) your clamps will let you know of the error (and won’t jump until you fix it!)
  

• Over-Heat: If your Weego 44s becomes too hot, power will be cut off (up to 3 min.) until properly cooled.

To protect against the elements, Weego 44 is rated IP65. The IP65 standard means that your product is water-resistant and completely protected from dust and larger debris when the ports are closed. “Resistant” is different than “proof” – with water resistance, your product can withstand condensation, water droplets, water spray, and low-pressure streams of water. This does not protect against high-pressure streams, waves, or temporary or prolonged immersion.

If moisture is present on your Weego 44 be sure to dry it off before opening any doors and/or ports!

CHARGE UP YOUR WEEGO 44s
When you unpack your new Weego Jump Starter 44s for the first time, charge it up to 100% using the Micro USB Charging Cord provided. Make sure you use a USB enabled wall adapter (like the one that comes with your smartphone or tablet) with an output of 2.1A to charge as quickly as possible (output ratings are always located on the USB adapter).

It takes 2.5 hours to fully charge when using a 2.1A USB adapter. The power indicator lights will flash one by one while the unit is charging. A solid light indicates a completed level of charge, while a blinking light means the level is progressing. When all 5 lights are solid, the charging is complete. Weego 44s will last over a year without recharging, but to keep it topped off, recharge it every 6 months or so. Weego 44s will allow you to charge & discharge your unit up to 1000 times, which will give you a good 3-5 years of active use.

1. There’s a Power ON/OFF Button on the back of your Weego 44. While powered “ON”, the blue power button will remain illuminated.
2. Make sure you turn OFF your Weego 44 after every use; leaving it on slowly drains the battery.
3. When the unit is OFF, it will only lose about 2% charge per month.

JUMP STARTING

BEFORE YOU JUMP

• Read all instructions and safety information (see pages 12-13) prior to using this product. Improper use of this product will void your warranty and may result in product damage, excess heat, toxic fumes, fire, and other unsafe conditions for which Weego is not responsible.
• Read vehicle owner’s manual first: it may have specific cautions and instructions about jumping your engine.
• This product is for use on 12V Lead-Acid batteries only! DO NOT use this product on any other voltage battery, such as 6V, 24V, etc. DO NOT use this product on lithium-ion batteries.
• Never jump or operate any engine in an enclosed area.
• Put your vehicle in PARK and engage the emergency brake (boats and powersports vehicles should be put in NEUTRAL).
• TURN OFF ALL ELECTRONICS!  – air conditioner, radio, lights, etc. Remove any devices attached to your Weego 44s.
• Never leave your Weego 44s connected to your engine’s battery unless actively jumping.
• Always disconnect the Smarty Clamps® from your Weego 44s when not in use.

JUMP-STARTING YOUR ENGINE

1. Ensure your engine is completely OFF.
2.  Securely connect the Smarty Clamps® to your Weego 44s.
3. Place your Weego 44s in a secure location.
4. Attach BLACK clamp to your battery’s negative (-) terminal, then the RED clamp to your battery’s positive (+) terminal. Adjust your Smarty Clamps® to achieve MAXIMUM contact with the terminals. Poor connections will prevent you from starting your engine! Clear off any dirt or buildup with a wire brush or a dry towel before connecting your clamps.
5. Check your Smarty Clamps® lights. When you have a GREEN READY light, start your engine. If the engine doesn’t start, check your Smarty Clamps® lights and wait a minute before trying again.
6. After a successful start, disconnect the Smarty Clamps® from your Weego 44s.
7. Detach the Smarty Clamps® from the battery.
8. You’re now good to go – be sure to run your engine for at least 15 minutes before shutting it off again so it has time to recharge your battery.

If you are having issues getting your engine started, see the Troubleshooting section on page 10 or visit myweego.com/support for further details and assistance.

WARNING!  Exposed Metal Jaws May Be HOT After Use!

UNDERSTANDING YOUR Smarty Clamps®
Your Smarty Clamps® have a “smart” box that will help guide you through a jump with both sight and sound. It will let you know when it is safe to jump or if there is an error.

• Solid green light, no Sound
  Smarty Clamps® detect that you have a good connection and you are ready to jump.

• Flashing Green & Red Lights + Beeping
  You attached the Smarty Clamps® on the wrong terminals. Make sure the BLACK clamp is attached to the battery’s NEGATIVE (-) terminal, and the RED clamp is attached to the battery’s POSITIVE (+) terminal. If not attached properly, Weego 44s will not let you jump your engine.

• Flashing Red Light + Beeping
  The Weego battery overheats after long cranks or excessive current draw. Detach the Smarty Clamps® from the battery and give the unit up to 3 minutes to cool down. Then, repeat steps 2-5 under Jump Starting Your Engine.

• Solid Red Light, No Sound
  This means the vehicle’s battery is too weak to even start, OR the system voltage of your vehicle is not compatible with your Weego 44s (for 12V vehicles ONLY).
  

• Solid Red Light + Beeping
  There may be an engine size issue. If your engine is larger than what we recommend, it will try to pull more power than your Weego 44s is able to give. Please see Engine Compatibility in the owner’s manual to determine if your engine size falls within the scope of Weego 44s.

• No Light
  Either you have a poor connection, or your battery is so dead (nearly 0 volts) that your Weego clamps cannot register a connection.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Visit www.myweego.com/support for FAQs and additional troubleshooting inquiries.

My unit won’t power on/charge/charge past a few lights If your unit won’t power on, won’t take a charge, OR won’t charge past a few lights then it’s been overcharged. This can happen if the engine pulled the Weego battery past a certain limit during a jump start. It can also happen if the Weego is not stored with a full charge, or is not recharged every 3-6 months during storage.

Please reach out to support@myweego.com to let them know about this issue – we’ll receive and test the over-discharged Weego, and then determine if we can repair it or if it needs to be fully replaced.

The Weego won’t jump-start my vehicle
A few things can be attributed to a failed jump start, which we listed below.

• Poor connection between the Weego clamps and vehicle battery:  the better the connection, the more likely you are to have a successful jump
• Dirty battery terminals:  build up prevents all the available power from reaching your battery
• Vehicle-specific compatibility issues:  occasionally we come across a vehicle that has unique power demands that a smaller model cannot fulfill, even though it’s within our recommended engine range. In addition, vehicles with heavier electronics can sometimes create issues when jumping with a Weego; we mostly see this in push-to-start vehicles.
• Cold temperatures:  Freezing temperatures create a lot of resistance in an engine which means it can require up to 3.5X the usual amount of power to get started; for example, an engine that usually needs 200A could need up to 700A in the extreme cold. In addition, if your Weego was stored in the cold temps it will make it harder for the Weego to deliver its full power.
• Low-Charged Weego:  it’s always best to work with full power on your Weego if you can. Our jump starters perform better at 100% charge than they do at 20% charge, especially when jumping larger engines.

ENGINE COMPATIBILITY
The larger the engine, the more power it’s going to need from your Weego to start; for this reason, we offer a range of sizes to accommodate most engines. Bear in mind, though, power demand from an engine isn’t an exact science and changes wildly from one car to the next – our ranges offer a good starting point to capture most scenarios, but unique engine setups may demand unexpected power.

Weego Jump Starters can be used on gas and diesel engines* as follows:

• Weego 44s Gas 7L+ Diesel 3.5L+
• Weego 44 Gas 7L+ Diesel 3.5L+
• Weego 44 Gas 7L+ Diesel 3.5L+

There are a few external factors that would increase the power demand of your engine, too, of which you should keep in mind when choosing your Weego model:

• Freezing temperatures
• Poor vehicle battery condition
• Poor engine condition
• Weego charge level (works best when fully charged)
• Heavy electronics in modern vehicles

Choose the model that’s best for you, and if you’re still not sure, feel free to reach out to our customer service for assistance.

LIGHTING
Your Weego 44 comes with a 500-lumen LED flashlight. Power on your Weego 44, then briefly press and release the flashlight button to initiate the following sequences:

• 1st click: Normal
• 2nd click: Strobe
• 3rd click: SOS
• 4th click: OFF

You can also skip directly to the OFF position by holding down the flashlight button. Your Weego 44 will give you up to 14 hours of flashlight time and up to 28 hours of strobe & SOS light on a full charge.

USB CHARGING

• Charge your phone, tablet and other portable devices with your Weego 44 using your own USB charging cord. Your Weego 44 comes equipped with Detect-o-Matic™ USB Charging. This intelligent charger communicates with your device to detect and deliver the fastest-possible charge.
• To charge your devices, plug your charging cord into your Weego 44 USB port, and connect to your device. Power on your Weego 44 and start charging!

LAPTOP CHARGING
Weego 44 comes equipped with a 19V (BLUE) Laptop Port. Weego laptop adapters are compatible with most popular PC-based laptops. Adapters are sold separately and can be found online at myweego.com.

POWERING 12V ACCESSORIES
Weego 44 has a 12V (BLACK) Accessory Port. Optional Weego 12V accessories allow you to power a wide range of tools and devices like air compressors, SAE electronics, an OBDII Memory Saver and more! 12V accessories are sold separately and can be found online at myweego.com

WEEGO 44s OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE RANGES
All lithium-ion batteries have recommended temperature ranges for different scenarios – there’s one for using your product, one for recharging your product and one for storing your product. All should be adhered to, to ensure the safety, longevity and/or performance of your Weego 44s:

For USING your Weego 44s:| Optimal Range
-4˚F to 140˚F
-20˚C to 60˚C| Extreme-low temps will hinder performance, while high temps pose a safety risk.
---|---|---
For RECHARGING your Weego 44s:| 32˚F to 114˚F
0˚C to 46˚C| Lower than 32˚F produces a slow charge, while higher than 114˚F poses a safety risk
For STORING your Weego 44s:| -4˚F to 86˚F
-20˚C to 30˚C| When not in use, storing your Weego 44s within this range retains its longevity. At high temps your  battery ages much faster.

*DO NOT store your Weego 44s in any location in which the temperature can exceed 140˚F (ie. inside an enclosed vehicle on a hot day)

To further elaborate

• Cold temperatures freeze the chemicals inside all batteries (including cell phone batteries) and hinder their performance (or stop it altogether). Moving your battery to room temperature, such as inside your home, reverses the effects.
• Hot temperatures are never good for any battery – they can diminish the lifespan of your battery, or worse, pose a safety risk to you and your device.
