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 provide warranty against
mechanical and electrical defect for a period of one year – this does not
cover fair wear and tear.
If the battery is not charged properly 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 of the battery by following a few simple
guidelines.
Plug in your new Roadstart to the mains transformer and make an INITIAL charge
lasting 38 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 level lights show
red.
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 –
The RoadStart units are fitted 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. 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
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.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing
or eyes.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while
working with a battery.
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.
1.2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 it. 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 minimized 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.
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) on a regular basis
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.
DO ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe
before connecting to the mains power supply.
DO ensure that cables are always protected against short circuits and
overload.
DO regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage, and power
connections to ensure that none are loose.
DO check product voltage is the same as power supply to be used and check that
