Safety Features - KS Tools 550.1810 Notice D'utilisation

3. SAFETY FEATURES

1. To avoid any short-circuit and to protect the clamps, which have a positive (=red) and negative
(=black) current, clamps must always be stored in the specially designed holders when not in use.
2. The cable holders on the case are to store the cables.
3. Thanks to its 12V sealed, non-spillable lead acid battery, the jump starter may be used and
stored in any position and is state of the art technology.
4. If you have a 12/24V unit, make always sure that the switch commutator is on "OFF" or that
the connector is unplugged (depending on model) when not in use (before and after use), in this
case it is normal that no voltage appears or that the LED's don't light up. If you keep it in charge,
put the commutator in 12V position, or plug the connector in the 12V socket.
4. CHARGE LEVEL
Version with control lights (LED's) 12V, 12/24 and 24V:
1. Check power level of the jump starter by pressing the test switch for 10 seconds, if you have a
12/24V unit first plug the connector in the suitable socket (if it is unplugged the LED's will not light
up). When 4 leds come on (3 red and one green) your jump starter is ready for use. When 3 Leds
or less come on, the jump starter needs to be immediately recharged according to the directions
mentioned in the section 5.
2. Press test button for 10 seconds. If all 5 LED's stay on, your jump starter is fully charged (the
fifth led goes out when you disconnect the unit from the charger).
Version with digital or analogic display 12V, 12/24V and 24V :
1. Check power level of the jump starter by pressing the test switch for 10 seconds, if you have a
12/24V unit choose the suitable voltage with the switch commutator. If the voltage is lower than
12V (or 24V), the jump starter needs to be immediately recharged according to the directions
mentioned in the section 5.
2. Check power level of the jump starter by pressing the test switch for 10 seconds. If the voltage
is between 12.2V and 13.2V (or Hi) or between 24.4V and 26.4V (or Hi), the jump starter is ready
for use.
5. WAYS TO RECHARGE THE JUMP STARTER
1. With the supplied automatic charger, plugged in a 230V outlet (other voltages also available
depending on your country). If you use a 12/24V unit, switch the commutator on 12V position
or plug the connector in the 12V socket (depending on model) for charging. Caution, do not
choose the 24V position while charging. Check that the charger 12V-4A or 24V-2A is on by
pressing the switch on the right.
2. While driving by using the supplied charging cable connected to the cigar lighter socket of the
vehicle. (The vehicle should be started before plugging the cable in the cigar lighter socket).
Charging will take 4 to 5 hours.
3. Once the vehicle is started, leave the clamps connected to the vehicle for 3 to 5 minutes so
that the dynamo of your vehicle can recharge the jump starter.
CAUTION, for trucks, once started, disconnect IMMEDIATELY the clamps from the battery. Danger
of explosion.
