• 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 3000 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 considerable 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 in-validate 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 op-erate the unit without all covers etc. correctly fitted.

• Keep all combustible materials away from the Rescue Pac.

• 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.

GUARANTE

This SIP Rescue Pac 3000 is covered by a 12 month parts and labour warranty cover-ing 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. In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor as soon as possible.

• Note: If the booster has to be returned for warranty; Please return the charger and accessories etc. along with the booster. Failure to do so will incur costs.
• Note: Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be hon-oured.

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 appro-priate 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 3000 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 suita-bly qualified person.
Note : The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that itis of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.
Note : Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage andfrequency. If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains sup-ply; ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR RESCUE PAC 3000

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: See charging information on page 10 before connecting. Check with the manufacturer of the vehicle to be started that it is safe to use the Rescue Pac without causing damage to the electrical system.

• Check the vehicles battery fluid level and top up if required.
• Ensure that the ignition is in the off position on the vehicle.

CONNECTING THE RESCUE PAC TO THE VEHICLE

Danger: a spark can be generated when connecting or removing the second clip which can ignite battery or fuel gases; the following instructions will reduce this risk.

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 en-gine (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 chas-sis / body of the vehicle):

• Connect the negative (black) clamp (5) from the Rescue Pac to the negative ter-minal (-) 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 mov-ing parts such as fans or belts etc.
• Switch the ignition of the vehicle on as you would normally start the vehicle.
• Only crank the engine fo 5 – 6 seconds, then leave for 3 – 4 minutes for the battery to rest and prevent “gassing”.
• Failure to follow this procedure could lead to battery “gassing” and potential explosion / fire, resulting in personal injury.
• Once the vehicle has started, first remove the clamp immediately from the vehicles chassis followed by the battery connection
• Don’t leave the Rescue Pac connected once the vehicle is running. This will cause the batteries to overheat and induce “gassing”. Failure to disconnect from a running vehicle could result in an explosion / fire and personal injury.

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- 4 minutes for the Rescue Pac to cool between attempts

CHECKING THE CHARGE STATUS OF THE INTERNAL BATTERY

The charge status of the internal battery can be easily checked using the charge level indicator (6) located on the front of the Rescue Pac.

• Press and hold the charge level test button (3).
• Low, medium or high LED will illuminate.
• If the Low LED illuminates the Rescue Pac should be charged.

Note: The level should be checked when the Rescue Pac has been at rest,not whilst, or just after it has been connected to a load, or the charger

CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY

• Connect the supplied mains charger to a 230V 50Hz ~ supply.
• Connect the DC output of the charger to the charging input on the front of the Rescue Pac3000.Turn on the power at the mains.
• Turn the Rescue Pac on, use 12v position only.
• Alarm will sound if not switched on.
• The red battery power level level will illuminate to show that the Rescue Pac is being charged.
• When it turns to green is is charged

The battery pack must not be used for 60 minutes after charging , allow the batteries to stabilise and any gas produced during charging to escape
Note: The internal battery of the Rescue Pac 3000 should be charged be- fore initial operation for 48 hours.
Note: The Rescue Pac 3000 should be recharged after each operation.
Note: When not in use for extended periods, the Rescue Pac should becharged every 1 month to ensure long trouble-free battery life.
