When using your starter / charger, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and / or damage to the starter / charger.
Read all of these instructions before operating the charger and save this user manual for
future reference.
SIP recommends that the starter / charger should not be modified or used for any application
other than that for which it was designed.
This starter / charger is designed for the charging of normal lead acid, sealed, AGM, gel and
Ca/Ca batteries.
It should not be used to recharge NICAD or any other type of battery.
It should not be used to recharge non-rechargeable batteries; To do so may cause fire,
electric shock, etc.
If you are unsure of its relative applications do not hesitate to contact us and we will be
more than happy to advise you.
The starter / charger is designed to be powered from a 220 - 240V ~ 50 / 60Hz supply, which is
reliably connected to the buildings ground (earth) point.
Due to the input current it is not advisable to use an extension lead, but If an extension lead is
necessary to reach the mains supply, ensure the cross-sectional area of the
wire in the lead is of a sufficient size for the supply of current over the distance re-quired.
If the starter / charger is interrupted or damaged due to heavy impact etc., the bat-tery
should be taken off charge immediately.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger / Caution: Indicates risk of personal injury and/or the possibility of
damage.
Warning: Risk of electrical injury or damage!
SAFETY SYMBOLS USED THROUGHOUT THIS MANUAL
IMPORTANT: Please read the following instructions carefully, failure to do
so could lead to serious personal injury and / or damage to the Starter /
Charger.
Note: Supplementary information.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Do not dismantle the starter / charger - If repairs are required, they should be per-
formed by a suitably qualified person. Incorrect reassembly may result in a fire hazard and / or
electric shock.
Always disconnect the starter / charger from any connected battery and the mains supply
prior to cleaning the casing or changing fuses etc.
When connecting the starter / charger whilst the battery is still connected to the vehicle -
connect the lead to the battery first (normally +). The other connection is to be made to the
chassis as far away as practical from the battery and fuel line (a spark can be generated
when connecting the second clip which can ignite battery or fuel gases). The starter /
charger is then to be connected to the mains supply. Once charging is complete,
disconnect the starter / charger from mains supply first, and then remove the chassis
connection followed by the battery connection.
Never connect the battery in reverse polarity; Always be sure that the negative clamp is
connected to the negative terminal and that the positive clamp is connected to the positive
terminal.
Always ensure that the voltage settings (12V or 24V) on the charger (output terminal &
button) match the voltage of the battery.
Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.
During charging, batteries give off some hydrogen and oxygen creating a highly ex-
plosive mix; Ensure adequate ventilation exists and avoid sparks, smoking, etc.
During battery maintenance ensure adequate clean water is available in the event of an acid
spill. The liquid inside batteries is highly corrosive therefore ensure that it is not allowed to
make contact with the skin (especially eyes). In the event of contact, flush the area with clean
water and immediately consult a doctor.
Car batteries store a large amount of energy; Short-circuiting the battery or charger
terminals will cause the battery to try and release this energy immediately, which can result
in fire or personal injury. Prevent any metal object (or other conductive material) from
touching the + and – terminals of the charger or battery at the same time.
KNOW YOUR STARTER / CHARGER: Read and understand the owner's manual and labels
affixed to the charger. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the potential hazards
specific to it.
DO NOT USE THE STARTER / CHARGER IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS: Do not use the
starter / charger in damp or wet locations, or expose it to rain. Always provide adequate
space around the starter / charger. Do not operate the charger in potentially explosive
environments, or in the presence of flammable items.
KEEP CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA: All visitors
should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense.
