5. Explosion risk:
Never connect the Booster on a vehicle 24V when it is in position 12V.
– Forming of hydrogen and explosion risk.
– If you notice that you have made this mistake, do not disconnect the tension
selector, because this may cause a spark. It is recommended to disconnect one
of the clamps of the vehicle's battery, to move away from the Booster and to wait
some minutes while the hydrogen escapes from the Booster. Contact you reseller
immediately.
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 optimize the use of your Booster, put the Booster on
continuous charge using the original charger.
