IMPORTANT: READ AND SAVE THIS SAFETY AND INSTRUCTION MANUAL. KEEP IT WITH OR NEAR THE CHARGER AT ALL TIMES. 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES 1.1 WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION, AND WHEN DISCHARGED OR CHARGED. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY

.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery. Thaw it out first. Charging will then be safer and more efficient. . 0 To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the AC outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will not reduce this risk. . Boat batteries must be removed and charged on shore. To safely charge them onboard requires equipment especially designed and UL Listed for marine use. .2 Connect and disconnect the battery leads only when th

2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS 2. Always have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid, when working around lead-acid batteries. 2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. 2.3 Wear complete eye protection, clothing protection, and rubber soled shoes. When the ground is very wet or covered with snow, wear rubber boots. Avoid touching eyes while working near the battery. 2.4 If battery acid contacts skin or clo

not having an output voltage selector switch, determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure it matches the output rating of the battery charger. 4. AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS 4. The charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. The charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

4.3 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure: a. That the pins on the plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of the plug on charger; b. That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; c. That the wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of the charger as specified in t

6. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS 6. All switches should be set in OFF (O) position and the AC cord should be disconnected from the electrical outlet before you connect and disconnect the charger clamps. Never allow the clamps to touch each other. 6.2 Attach clamps to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good connection. This will tend to prevent the clamps from slipping off terminals, avoid dangerous sparking, and assure safer and more efficient charging. Keep

When disconnecting the charger, turn the switch to OFF (O), disconnect the AC cord, remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp from the battery terminal. CAUTION: WHEN THE POSITIVE (+) POST OF THE VEHICLE BATTERY IS GROUNDED, DOUBLE-CHECK POLARITY. 8. CHARGING BATTERY OUTSIDE VEHICLE OR Eq UIPMENT–NOT CONNECTED TO ENGINE If necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle or equipment, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first.

9. ELECTRICAL CONDITION OF BATTERY 9.1 The state of charge of refillable-top batteries can be checked by using a hydrometer. A hydrometer is a bulb-type syringe which is used to extract a small quantity of the electrolyte from each battery cell. Types are calibrated in terms of specific gravity (a common scale being 1.120 to 1.265) or the type which uses four colored balls to indicate the state of charge. A float in the hydrometer barrel indicates the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Th

10. BATTERY CHARGING 10.1 This charger adjusts the charging time in order to charge the battery completely, efficiently and safely. However, this section includes guidelines that can be used to estimate charging times. 0.2 The amount of time required to fully charge a weak battery is dependant on a number of factors. In addition to the degree of discharge, these factors include the type and rated capacity, temperature, age of the battery, and amperage rating of the charger. At 70°F (22°C)

0.5 CAUTION - Do not leave Manual chargers unattended. 0.6 CAUTION: If at any time the battery gets hot (above 125°F (52°C)) or acid comes out of vent caps, STOP charging. 0.7 To maximize battery life - Let automatic chargers complete charging. 11. MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING Batteries of the same voltage may be connected in parallel for maintenance charging. Charge time increases in proportion to the number of batteries. Rate of charge decreases in the same proportion. Example: Chargi

2.2 CIRCUIT BREAKER This battery charger is equipped with a self-resetting circuit breaker. This device protects the charger from temporary overloads. In the event of an overload, the circuit breaker will trip open and after a short cooling off period will reset automatically. This process is known as cycling and can be recognized by an audible clicking sound. NOTE: Clicking sound is normal. Wait until charger automatically resets itself. CAUTION: Persistent clicking (more than 30 minu
