USE IN STARTING MODE

Precautions before use

• Do not disconnect the battery from the vehicle. Disconnecting the battery may result in loss of information and a
possible inability to restart.
Starting
Once you have connected the starter to the battery as recommended (see connection), it may be necessary to precharge
the battery to provide the energy needed for starting. To perform a precharge turn the switch on the "BOOST 2" position
for the NEOSTART 320 and on the "BOOST" position for the NEOSTART 420 and 620.

To perform the precharge set the switch to the "BOOST" position.
To start a vehicle turn the switch to the "START" position. Go to the vehicle driver side. By turning the key you activate
the starter function. This function must be stopped as soon the vehicle start. It is ideal to work with two people. The
one close to the NEOSTART can turn the switch to the START position at the last moment and stops the device once
the vehicle has started.
If your engine does not start, wait 2 minutes between two start attempts. The attempt must last a maximum of 3 sec.
Nb: A vehicle that will not start can be a problem other than a battery in poor condition. It could come from many other
causes.
After use follow the recommended instructions for disconnection.
PROTECTION
This device has been designed with maximum protection:
• The charging clamps are fully insulated.
• A fuse provides proctection against reverse polarity and short circuits :
- Neostart 420 and 620 : ref. 054547, 200A fuse (SIBA-V Fuse / open type)
- Neostart 320 : ref. 054639, 150A fuse (Littlefuse BF1 / 32V type)
• A circuit breaker on the front panel provides protection against overload or starting the battery with the switch on the
"Charge" position. If it breaks, a manual reset is required.
• Thermal protection is provided by a thermostat (cooling approximately 1/4h). The green light goes off in case of
overheating.
SULPHATED OR DAMAGED BATTERIES
NEOSTART does not detect sulphated or damaged batteries.
• Your battery is deeply damaged if in charge, the ammeter needle deflects rapidly to very high intensities. Your battery
is permanently out of use.
• In the case of a sulphated battery: turn the device on the highest speed "BOOST" for the NEOSTART 420 and 620
or "BOOST 2" for the NEOSTART 320 and regularly monitor if the ammeter shows a charging current. As soon as the
charging current increases, put the switch onto the suitable charging mode for the battery. If there is no improvement
after 5 hours, the battery is permanently out of use.
Caution - This procedure must be done with the battery disconnected from the vehicle!
