When using your Rescue Pac, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and / or damage to the unit. Read all these instructions before operation and save this user manual for future reference.
SIP recommends that this Rescue Pac should not be modified or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you are unsure of its relative applications do not hesitate to contact us and we will be more than happy to advise you.
KNOW YOUR RESCUE PAC: Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the unit. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the potential hazards specific to it.
KEEP CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA: All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense.
DO NOT ABUSE THE CHARGER LEAD: Never pull the mains lead, or the DC output lead of the charger to remove the plug from the mains socket, or the charging lead from the rear of the Rescue Pac. Keep the leads away from heat, oil and sharp edges. If the charger is damaged, it must be replaced, or repaired by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid unwanted hazards.
HAVE YOUR RESCUE PAC REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The Rescue Pac 1600 is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considera-ble danger to the user and void the warranty.
DANGER! Check that the mains charger and Rescue Pac are in sound condition and good working order. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts. USE RECOMMENDED PARTS ONLY – Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Take care where the Rescue Pac is placed during operation; ensure that it cannot fall, and that the wires are routed so as to not come into contact with moving parts such as fans and belts etc.
WARNING! Do not allow untrained persons to operate the Rescue Pac and do not operate the unit without all covers etc. correctly fitted.

• Keep all combustible materials away from the Rescue Pac.
• Always operate the Rescue Pac in an area of good ventilation.
• Never stand on the Rescue Pac, or use it as a step.
• Do not dismantle or tamper with the Rescue Pac, or mains charger, as this may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• When using the mains charger, pull on the plug and never on the wire when disconnecting from the Rescue Pac and the mains supply.
• Do not operate in an explosive environment and / or with flammables such as petrol, gas etc. present.
• Wear safety goggles during use.
• Use of an accessory or attachment not recommended or sold by SIP, may result in a risk of damage to the unit, or injury to personnel.
• Do not recharge the Rescue Pac with a damaged plug or cord. Replace the broken part immediately.
• Do not submerge the Rescue Pac or mains charger in water.
• Never allow the red and the black clamp to come into contact with each other or allow them to contact a common conductor; Lead-acid batteries store a large amount of energy. Short-circuiting the battery or charger terminals will cause the battery to try and release this energy immediately.
• Always store the clamps securely in their appropriate holders on the side of the Rescue Pac when not in use.
• Do not attempt to repair the Rescue Pac yourself if found to be defective, have it repaired by a suitably qualified person; contact your distributor or SIP for advice.
• Always recharge the Rescue Pac after each use.
• Never use the mains charger in damp or wet locations.
• Do not store the Rescue Pac where temperatures could exceed 50°C
• Understand the operating environment; Before each use the operator should assess, understand and where possible reduce the specific risks and dangers associated with the operating environment.

If a problem with the Rescue Pac is experienced, or if the mains charger or plug become damaged, contact your distributor for repair.
If the Rescue Pac is used in a place of work all rules and laws etc. relating to the use of portable electrical appliances should be followed.
Danger : During operation, batteries can give off some hydrogen and oxygen creating a highly explosive mix. Ensure adequate ventilation exists and avoid sparks, smoking, etc.
Caution : During battery maintenance ensure adequate clean water is available in the event of an acid spill. The liquid inside batteries is highly corrosive therefore ensure that it is not allowed to make contact with the skin (especially eyes).
Important : When the Rescue Pac is not in use, recharge it at least every 1 month with the supplied charger. Failure to follow these instructions may void your warranty.
Caution : The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied.

GUARANTEE

This SIP Rescue Pac 1600 is covered by a 12 month parts and labour warranty covering failure due to manufacturers defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or operating the Rescue Pac outside the scope of this manual – any claims deemed to be outside the scope of the warranty may be subject to charges Including, but not limited to parts, labour and carriage costs. Consumable items such as fuses & clamps etc. are not covered by the warranty.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe.
You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or damage.
You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a residual current device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Connecting to the power supply:
The mains charger for the Rescue Pac 1600 is designed to work with a standard 230V ~ 13 amp supply. Before using the mains charger, inspect it to ensure that it is not
damaged. If any damage is visible have the charger inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person.

Note : Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and frequency. If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply; ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.
Note : The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that it is of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.

For Negative Earth Vehicles (negative terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis / body of the vehicle):

• Connect the positive (red) clamp (1) from the Rescue Pac to the positive terminal (+) on the battery first.
• Then connect the negative (black) clamp (5) to the negative terminal on the engine (ground) or the car chassis as far as practical from the battery and fuel line.

For Positive Earth Vehicles

(positive terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis / body of the vehicle):

• Connect the negative (black) clamp (5) from the Rescue Pac to the negative terminal (-) on the battery first.
• Then connect the positive (red) clamp (1) to the positive terminal on the engine (ground) or the car chassis as far as practical from the battery and fuel line.
• Leave the Rescue Pac connected for a few minutes to allow some charge from the Rescue Pac to flow into the battery of the vehicle.
• Ensure that the cables are routed so that they cannot come into contact with moving parts such as fans or belts etc.
• Switch the ignition of the vehicle on as you would normally start the vehicle.
• Once the vehicle has started, remove the clamp immediately from the vehicles chassis first followed by the battery connection.

WARNING! Take care where the Rescue Pac is placed during operation; ensure that it cannot fall, and that the wires are routed so as to not come into contact with moving parts such as fans and belts etc.
Caution : Never try to start the engine for more than 5 to 6 seconds each attempt, and allow at least 3 minutes for the Rescue Pac to cool between attempts.

CHECKING THE CHARGE STATUS OF THE INTERNAL BATTERY
