Associated Equipment 6295 - Manual (Page 2)

FEATURES
1. Provides plenty of power for starting vehicles. More than enough to
start most vehicles. May also be used in DEEP CYCLE
applications.
2. The KWIKSTART will power most 12 VDC accessories equipped
with a male cigar lighter plug. The DC outlet has automatic overload
protection.
3. Test switch and Multiple LED power level indicators. State of the art
charging circuit.
4. 24V/OFF/12V selector switch. When in the OFF position, no voltage
will be present at the clamps, reducing the chance of arcing.
INFORMATION TO USER
Changes or modifications by the user, that are not expressly approved
by the party responsible for radio frequency emmission levels from the
KWIKSTART, could cause an undesirable amount of radio frequency
energy to be emitted. Such action could void the user's authority to use
the KWIKSTART.
SAFETY FEATURES
1. Selector switch prevents accidental sparking of clamps.
2. Cable bracket hold the cables for clean storage. (No unsightly
dangling wires).
3. The KWIKSTART contains the latest technology with its 2 -12 volt
sealed non-spillable batteries. The KWIKSTART may be stored in
any position.
RECHARGING PROCEDURES
When new, your KWIKSTART should be charged for a minimum of 30
hours, unless the green High power level LED lights when the test
button is pressed. (See Figure 2)

NOTE: There are two ways to recharge the KWIKSTART. The first
method is automatic charging with the internal charger
(preferred). The second is through the DC power jack through
the DC power extension cord. The second method is not
automatic and requires watching because the KWIKSTART
could be damaged due to overcharging.
1. USING THE INTERNAL CHARGER: The KWIKSTART is
automatically charged using the internal charger. A two pin male
plug on the KWIKSTART’s control panel is connected through a
smart circuit board to the KWIKSTART making recharging
automatic. Recharging takes approximately 24 hours.
Overcharging is not a problem when using the internal charger. The
KWIKSTART’s internal charger can be left connected to an AC
power source indefinitely.
a. Turn the selector switch to 12V!
b. Connect an extension cord to the KWIKSTART’s male plug.
c. Plug the extension cord into a correctly wired AC receptacle (the
red CHARGING LED will light).
d. The battery will be fully charged when the red LED goes off and
the green CHARGED LED comes on.
e. If you are not going to need the KWIKSTART right away you may
leave the KWIKSTART’s internal charger connected to the AC
power source. We recommend that the KWIKSTART’s internal
charger remain connected to an AC power source whenever the
KWIKSTART is not in use.
2. USING THE DC POWER EXTENSION CORD. Plug one end of the
power extension cord into the KWIKSTART power receptacle and
the other end into a vehicle’s lighter outlet (vehicle’s engine should
be running first). Turn the selector switch to 12V. Push the test
button once every hour to check the power level. When the High
power level LED lights the battery is charged. DO NOT
OVERCHARGE! This is not an automatic method of charging the
KWIKSTART. Overcharging will damage your KWIKSTART.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USED AS A BATTERY CHARGER
The KWIKSTART is intended, primarily, to be used to start or restart a
vehicle when the battery in the vehicle has become run down to the
point that it will not start the vehicle without assistance. However, the
KWIKSTART can also be used to restore some charge to the vehicle
battery.
1. Plug the power extension cord from the KWIKSTART into the
vehicle’s cigar lighter outlet for 30 minutes.
NOTE: Some vehicle’s ignition keys must be turned to accessory to
activate the cigar light socket.
2. Remove the power extension cord and start the car.
NOTE: A defective battery may refuse to accept a charge from the
KWIKSTART.
USED AS AN EMERGENCY JUMP STARTER
NOTE: For optimum performance, do not store below 50°F when using
as a jump starter.
1. Turn ignition off before making cable connections.
2. Use in a well ventilated area.
3. SHIELD
EYES.
4. Clamp the positive (red +) clamp to the positive terminal on the
weak battery (for negative ground system).
5. Clamp the negative (black –) clamp to the vehicle frame (ground).
Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving belts or fan.
6. Switch the selector switch to the desired voltage.
7. Stay clear of batteries while jump starting.
8. Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition).
NOTE: If the vehicle does not start within 6 seconds, let the
KWIKSTART internal battery cool for 3 minutes before
attempting to start the vehicle again or damage to the
KWIKSTART may occur.
9. When the vehicle is started, turn the selector switch to the OFF
position.
10. Disconnect the negative (-) battery clamp from the vehicle frame.
11. Disconnect the positive (+) clamp.
12. Return jumper cables to their stored position.
13. Recharge at earliest convenience.
USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE POWER SUPPLY FOR
VEHICLES
The KWIKSTART is an essential tool for all who replace automobile
batteries. Most vehicles have some type of electronic component with
memory, such as alarm systems, computers, radios, phones, etc…
and when the vehicle’s battery is replaced, memory is lost. However, if
the power extension cord is plugged from the KWIKSTART to the cigar
lighter outlet on the vehicle, the memories can be saved.
NOTE: Some vehicles may require the KWIKSTART to be connected
to the vehicle’s OBD2 connector to save all memory functions. The
MS6209 memory saver may be purchased separately for these
applications.
