7. Starting aid for motor vehicles
¼
The jumper cables with the pole clamps are
located in the storage compartment on both sides
of the energy station.
¼
When the jumper cables are not in use, do not
remove them from the energy station.
¼
Caution! Risk of short-circuiting if the pole clamps
touch each other.
¼
Use the energy station as a source of starting aid
only when the vehicle battery is partially
discharged. The energy station is designed
provide the car battery with only a limited charge.
¼
The energy station is not suitable for starting a
vehicle with a fully discharged battery.
The energy station's starting aid function provides
welcome help when a vehicle's battery lacks
sufficient charge to start the vehicle without difficulty.
We wish to point out that even standard vehicle
models are equipped with numerous electric modules
(e.g. ABS, ASC, fuel injection pump, on-board
computer and car phone). The higher starting voltage
and voltage peaks may cause damage to electronic
components. No product liability can be accepted for
any damage resulting from the energy station's
starting aid function. Please read the information in
the operating manuals of your vehicle, radio, car
phone, etc. Important! The energy station has to be
charged to full capacity in order to be able to draw a
current of 600 A for 5 seconds.
How to use the energy station to start a vehicle
1. The switch (Figure 1 / Item 1) must be set to
„OFF" position.
2. Connect the red cable (+) of the energy station to
the POSITIVE pole (+) of the vehicle battery.
3. Connect the black cable (-) of the energy station
to the vehicle's earthing strip or any other bare
point on the engine block (earth). Choose a point
as far away as possible from the battery in order
to prevent ignition of any explosive electrolytic
gas which may develop.
4. With the energy station connected, you can now
try to start the engine. Do not attempt to start the
vehicle for longer than 20 seconds because of
the very high current involved.
5. First disconnect the pole clamp from the vehicle's
earthing strip (negative pole).
6. Then disconnect the jumper cable from the
POSITIVE pole (+) of the vehicle battery.
7. The energy station will need to be recharged
after giving this starting aid.

8. Battery status monitoring
The LEDs (Figure 2 / Items 1 and 2) indicate the
status of the storage battery.
The green LED (Item 2) lights up when the storage
battery is fully charged. the red LED (Item 1) also
lights up when the storage battery in the energy
station is discharged. The energy station must then
be recharged.
The LEDs (Figure 2 / Items 3 and 4) provide
information on the charge status of the storage
battery.
The red LED (Figure 2 / Item 4) lights up as soon as
you start to charge the energy station. When the
energy station is fully charged the green LED (Item 3)
will also light up.
9. Replacing the lamp
Important! The lamp must be switched off.
Proceed as follows to replace the lamp.
1. Turn the lamp socket (Figure 3 / Item 1) anti-
clockwise.
2. Pull the lamp socket out of the casing in the
energy station.
3. Remove the lamp carefully with a cloth pressing
the lamp carefully into the casing and twisting it
slightly anti-clockwise.
4. The lamp can now be removed. Take care not to
destroy the reflector.
5. To install the new lamp, proceed in reverse
order.
10 Maintenance and care
¼
Be sure to switch off the energy station and
disconnect all cables from the unit whenever you
perform any cleaning or maintenance work.
¼
As far as possible, use only a soft dry cloth
without any aggressive solvents to clean the
surface. If absolutely necessary, use a slightly
dampened rag to remove dirt.
