 WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions in this manual cannot 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 by the operator.
NOTE: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING! YOU MUST FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! Only recharge Powerstarts with the AC charger provided. The charger is automatic and does not require the user to
monitor the progress of the charge. Furthermore, whenever the Powerstart is not in use, it should be connected to the charger,
failure to do this will invalidate the warranty.
4.1. Charging and Recharging
The unit should be fully charged before initial use. When partially discharged the unit should be recharged before further use.
 WARNING! Use the supplied charger, cable and connector. Unauthorised parts may damage the unit and will invalidate the warranty.
Ensure that you strictly apply the safety instructions as stated in Section 1.
4.1.1. Ensure that the Powerstart selector switch is in the ‘Off’ position (fig.1).
4.1.2. Plug the charger mains cable into a 230 volt supply. The red ‘On’ lEd will illuminate.
4.1.3. Plug the charger cable into the charge input socket of the unit. The unit will now charge automatically and the charger lEd will indicate
the level of charge. When the lEd changes to green, charging is complete but the charger should not be disconnected or switched off.
leave it connected to the Powerstart to ensure that the unit is fully charged when next required.
4.1.4. Press the test button and hold to read the percentage charge at any time; situated in the top face, marked "BATTERY CONDITION".
4.1.5. To disconnect the charger from the Powerstart, first switch off the charger, then press and hold the latch immediately above the socket
and pull out the plug.
Note: The Powerstart charging circuits are protected against short circuit by thermal breakers. The breakers in the PsTART1000Hd (one per
12V circuit and one per 24V circuit) have manual reset buttons on the front panel, clearly marked "FUSE" (10A).
2. INTRODUCTION
Heavy steel case, high power us manufactured battery and industrial quality switchgear make this model suitable for starting most vehicles.
Positive action power switch reduces risk of inadvertent damage by over-voltage. Heavy-duty copper cables provide efficient power transfer. Twin
trips prevent damage to battery or internal circuitry. Easy to read lEd battery indicator to IEc 51 provides fast indication of battery’s state of charge.
surge and spike suppressing circuitry reduces risk of damaging vehicle’s on-board electronics. Fitted with charge balance circuitry to provide even
charge to integral batteries. supplied with mains voltage recharge unit.

4. CHARGING
5. OPERATION
WARNING! YOU MUST FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND ENSURE THAT THE POWERSTART AND VEHICLE VOLTAGES ARE THE
SAME.
5.1. Before use, press the test button to confirm that the Powerstart is fully charged (see 4.1.4).
5.2. disconnect the charger as in 4.1.5. Remember to reinstate after use of the Powerstart.

5.4. use in a well ventilated area and wear protective eye shields and clothing.
 WARNING! Do not allow the red and black clamps to touch each other once the leads are connected to the Powerstart. Ensure that
the correct clamps are placed on the correct battery terminals.
5.5. With the HT leads disconnected from the Powerstart attach the positive REd (+) clamp to the positive terminal on the vehicle battery.
Ensure that the terminal is clean.
Note: On vehicles with multiple batteries connect the positive clamp to positive battery terminal which is connected to vehicle
electrical system.
5.6. Attach the negative BlAcK (-) clamp to the (ground) engine block or frame of the vehicle. Ensure that the cables are not in the path of
moving engine parts, and are away from the carburettor/injection system, fuel lines etc.
