The Sealey SUPERBOOST140 Starter/Charger is a combination unit capable of both charging batteries and providing boost power to start vehicles with flat batteries.

Before attempting to operate the Sealey SUPERBOOST140 Starter/Charger carefully read through the entire instruction manual, to understand the applications limitations and potential hazards associated with this equipment. Failure to do so could lead to serious personal injury. Take note of the important safety instructions.

Starters/Chargers are potentially dangerous equipment, which if not used correctly can cause serious injury to the user. The user bears sole responsibility for any damage or injury that may result from the use of the SUPERBOOST140 for any purpose other than it was intended. Starters/Chargers should not be operated by persons under 16 years of age, or persons whose stature and strength will prevent the safe operation of the Starter/Charger.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension lead suitable for outdoor use.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) recommends the use of an RCD to reduce the risk of fatal shock. For electrical safety it is recommended to always fit an RCD when you use power tools. You can have an RCD fitted to protect a particular circuit as part of the socket outlet between the socket outlet and the equipment being used. For greater safety when using electrical equipment use a residual current device (RCD). Care in use is still necessary.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this equipment. Do not use when you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Starter/Charger may result in serious personal injury.

CONNECTING CHARGER TO BATTERY
Ensure the battery charger is unplugged from the mains power supply before connecting power leads to the battery. Set the charger voltage to match that of the battery: i.e. 12 or 24 volts by moving the cable to the appropriate terminal. Check the charger clamps and battery terminals to ensure they are clean and free from oxidation. Connect the charger POSITIVE (Red or +) lead to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery and the NEGATIVE (Black or -) lead to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the battery.

NOTE: If charger is connected to a fully charged battery the ammeter will show a low charging output. NO charging is necessary. DO NOT continue to charge a fully charged battery, as this will damage the battery. DO NOT leave a battery on charge unattended.

Sealed Batteries
Charge a sealed battery very slowly, carefully monitoring the voltage across the battery terminals using a normal tester.
When the battery terminal voltage reaches 14.4V for 12V batteries or 28.8V for 24V batteries, stop charging.

Multiple Charging
WARNING! DO NOT simultaneously charge different types of battery or batteries with different capacities or levels of discharge.
Simultaneous multiple charging should be carried out in series, since this enables monitoring of the current circulating in each battery. NOTE: If two batteries with rated voltages of 12V are connected in series, move the positive cable to the 24V terminal When fully charged, the ammeter reading should be close to “0” and the electrolyte in the batteries should begin to gas. Stop charging to protect the battery plates from oxidisation and damage.

STARTING
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to start engine with starter/charger if the battery is disconnected from the vehicle. The presence of the battery is essential for the elimination of possible overvoltage that may be generated due to energy accumulating in the connection cables at the starting stage. Check the vehicle manufacturer’s handbook and follow any special instructions. Check that the battery is in good condition. Ensure the starter/charger is disconnected from the mains power supply and, for models with dual voltage output, set the output voltage to the same as the vehicle battery i.e. 12 or 24 volts. Check that the charger clamps and battery terminals are clean and free from oxidation. Without removing the cables that connect the battery to the vehicle, connect the charger POSITIVE (red) lead to the POSITIVE (+) terminal on the battery and the NEGATIVE (black) lead to NEGATIVE
(-) terminal on the battery.

Starting will be greatly eased if the battery is given a short charge before the ignition switch is turned. This must always be done with the selector switch set to the ’charge’ position and NOT to ’starting’. Plug starter/charger into mains power supply and perform a rapid charge for 5 to 10 seconds. Move the starter/charger switch to the ‘starting’ position. Turn the vehicle ignition on and crank the engine for a MAXIMUM of 3 seconds. If the vehicle does not start, wait 120 seconds and then try again to a maximum of 5 cycles.

WARNING! If the vehicle will not start, DO NOT continue as vehicle battery and electrical circuits may be damaged, and the fuse in the charger will blow. Disconnect the charger and investigate for vehicle faults. When the vehicle is running successfully, switch the starter/charger off, unplug from the mains power and disconnect the power terminals from the battery.

END OF CHARGING
Switch the charger off and unplug from mains power. Disconnect the power clamps, clean the charger and store in a safe, dry area. Replace the battery electrolyte cover or caps. Wipe up any splashes or spillage (remember that the electrolyte is a corrosive acid). Return the battery to the vehicle, secure according to the manufacturer’s instructions and re-connect. Check to ensure that all tools are removed before closing the bonnet or boot.
