3. FEATURES
A. SAFETY FUSE
If your Start Booster is equipped with a Safety Fuse please read the following:
Fuses have been developed to protect your Start Booster and vehicle against reverse
polarities. If your jump starter is not already equipped with a safety, you still have the
possibility to add a new type of clamp with a built-in safety fuse. Please contact your
distributor directly to ask if your device is compatible.
Different Types of Fuses:
Fuses exist in various sizes: 300A – 500A – 1000A. Please check which fuse was installed
in your device before ordering a new one. You can ask your distributor if you need to
change a fuse. Please make sure that you use a recommended fuse only. Using a fuse
that is not approved will void the warranty.
Locations of the fuses:

- 4 -
Depending on the model of Start Booster, the fuse can be located in various places:
-On the booster itself, either on the front or the back of the unit.
-Inside the handle of the positive clamp.
Our fuses come with a small window to see if the fuse is broken or not. Sometimes,
depending on the features, you might have an extra spare fuse directly built-in the unit
itself to be able to change it if the one connected has burst. Fuses are very easy to
change. First open the window with a screwdriver and then remove the two bolts
holding the fuse. Be careful not to remove the two bolts behind the fuse. Then replace
the fuse and tighten the two bolts to hold the fuse. Please also note that the physical
dimension of the fuse will vary, depending if it is a fuse for the Booster itself or a fuse
that is installed inside the clamp.
Fuse on the positive clamp:
B. ON/OFF SWITCH
If your Start Booster is equipped with an ON/OFF Switch, please read the following:
Different Types of switches:
-On the Booster itself.
-Inside the handle of the negative (black) clamp.
On the unit itself, please just turn it OFF or ON according to the labels on the switch.
Inside the clamp, push the clip upwards to turn it ON and downwards to turn it OFF.
There is a sign on the handle as well to remind you. See the image below. Always have
your device turned OFF when not in use or when connecting your clamps to your vehicle
or battery. Only turn it ON after you make sure the clamps are properly connected to the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has started please remove the Negative clamp first, then turn
your ON/OFF switch OFF and then the positive clamp.

C. REVERSE POLARITY ALARM
The reverse polarity alarm, or Buzzer, will emit a sound and a light when it detects a
reverse polarity.
It can only work with an ON/OFF switch located on the Booster or on a 12/24V model. To
make sure it is used properly, always have the booster turned OFF or disconnected
before use. Then connect the clamps to the vehicle’s terminals or battery and at this
moment the alarm will emit a noise and light if it detects a reverse polarity connection. If
the clamps are properly connected, nothing will happen. In this case, you can then turn
your unit ON, or select the proper voltage on a 12/24V model before jump starting your
vehicle.
D. 12/24V CONNECTOR / SWITCH
The 12/24V models are either equipped with a Switch or Red Connector. In both cases
the unit can be turned OFF, by either placing the switch in the center (position OFF), or
by pulling the red connector out (please make sure not to pull on the cables but only on
the connector handle).
Then to select the proper voltage, please refer to the battery of the vehicle (by reading
the user manual of the vehicle itself). Once you have made sure of the voltage, either
turn the switch on 12V or 24V, or plug the red connector on the side of the 12V or the
side of the 24V. It is important to select the correct voltage to avoid damaging the
vehicle, or Booster and to void any explosion due to over charge.
Before turning it ON, make sure the clamps are properly connected and that there is no
reverse polarity. Then turn the Booster ON to jump start the vehicle. Once the vehicle
has started, please remove first the negative clamp, then turn the Booster OFF and then
remove the positive clamp.

E. CHARGE STATUS
Different models will have a different charge status. These voltmeters are here to let you
know if your Start Booster is charged or not. There are different types of voltage
indicators:
-LED Voltmeter: composed of 5 LED lights going from Red to Orange to Green. This
method is easy to understand whether your unit is charged or not. When 4 LED lights
are ON, it means that your unit is ready for use. The 5th LED light will only turn ON
when your device is connected to a charger (and is fully charged), or when your
device is connected to a working alternator. After you started your vehicle, leave
your Booster connected to the alternator for 10 seconds maximum. If the 5th Green
LED light does not turn ON, it means that your alternator is not working properly.
-Digital/Analog Voltmeter: These two voltmeters will only indicate the voltage of the
Booster. If your Booster is below 12.7V, you need to recharge it. When you leave
your Booster connected on the vehicle for 10 seconds maximum, the voltmeter
should read the voltage output of the alternator, which will let you know if the
alternator is working properly or not. (a working alternator has an output of
approximately 14V).
F. CHARGING METHODS
There are different types of chargers available for the Start Boosters:
Automatic Chargers:
This series is called the LESA series. It comes in 12V or 24V. This series is fully automatic,
which means that it will not over charge your Booster.
LESA1 Car Charger:
This Charging cord is designed only for Start Boosters with batteries. It is meant to
recharge your Booster from the cigar socket of your vehicle whilst driving. Make sure to
disconnect it when the vehicle is not turned ON, to avoid discharging the battery.
Smart Chargers:
It is also a full series of chargers in 6V, 12V and 24V. When the charger is plugged inside the
socket or connected to the clamps directly, please press the ‘snow flake’ (AGM) mode on the
charger to start. Make sure to select the correct voltage according to the vehicle or battery.
Batteryless Start Booster Chargers:
This series is called PROCAP. It comes in various sizes and is designed for our line of
Batteryless Jump Starters. When the unit is fully charged, please remove the charger and do
not keep it in charge.

- 7 -
Other methods to recharge your Batteryless Start Booster:
You can recharge your Batteryless Start Booster by connecting its clamps to a good well
charged 12V battery. Depending on the size of the battery, it can take up to a few
minutes to recharge your Booster.
Another way to recharge a Batteryless Start Booster would be to leave it connected for
10-15 seconds maximum to the engine/alternator of the vehicle after it has started. The
alternator will recharge it immediately. (Please make sure to remove the clamps after 15
seconds max.)
Make sure to only use the supplied charger. Using a non-authorized charger will void the
warranty and can be dangerous. Batteries or Capacitors that are overcharged will inflate
and start producing gases, which may cause a fire or an explosion. That is why we only
recommend using the supplied charger in a well ventilated area.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
