Check that the KWIKSTART internal battery contains sufficient charge. See below.
Switch off the vehicle ignition key. Ensure that the rotary On/Off switch on the KWIKSTART is set
to the OFF position. Connect the red (+) clamp to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery. Then
connect the black (-) clamp to the engine or chassis (an unpainted dirt-free non-moving metal
component), DO NOT connect to the carburetor or fuel lines.
Due to the risk of explosion, DO NOT connect the black (-) clamp to the negative terminal of
the vehicle battery.
Make sure that the KWIKSTART and leads will not become entangled with any hot or moving parts
when the vehicle is started.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the KWIKSTART leads are correctly connected to the vehicle.
INCORRECT CONNECTION MAY CAUSE EXPENSIVE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, KWIKSTART
OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT YOUR VEHICLE HANDBOOK.
Turn the rotary On/Off switch on the KWIKSTART to the ON position. Wait for about one minute to
allow charge in the batteries to equalize.
Start the vehicle engine in the normal way. When the vehicle has started return the rotary On/Off
switch on the KWIKSTART to the OFF position.
Disconnect the black (-) clamp first. Return it to the correct mount on the KWIKSTART. Then
disconnect the red (+) clamp in the same way. DO NOT pull on the cable to disconnect the clip as this

panel. Then plug the charging adaptor into a 120V AC socket. The 'Charging' LED will now
illuminate.
When the battery is fully charged the LED charging indicator will go off and the "Charged" LED will
illuminate. At this point remove the charging adapter from the 120V AC socket and then disconnect the
charging adaptor
lead from the KWIKSTART.
Integral Light is illuminated by pushing the button on the front panel of the KWIKSTART.
