1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. GENERAL SAFETY.
Observe standard workshop safety procedures when using

the unit.
Ensure that the vehicle ignition switch is turned OFF before

connecting the unit.
Ensure there is another person within hearing range, or

close enough to come to your aid when working near, or with,
lead-acid batteries.

skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with
cool, clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets,

necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a
short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, which may cause severe burns.
Keep the work area clean and uncluttered and ensure there is

adequate lighting. Keep tools and other items away from the
engine and ensure you can see the vehicle battery and working
parts of engine clearly.

incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend
that a RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical
products, particularly portable equipment which is plugged into
an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB.

concerning electrical safety:
The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical
