Indicates that the charger is powered on.
REVERSE POLARITY INDICATOR LED
Indicates that the battery clamps are incorrectly connected.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING TO CHARGE
a. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove the grounded terminal from
battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully
blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan.
c. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This
helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow
manufacturer's recharging instructions.
e. Study all the battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f. Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure that output voltage is
set at correct voltage. If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate.
CHARGER LOCATION
a. Locate charger as far away from battery as output cables permit.
b. Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and
damage charger.
c. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery,
d. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area, or restrict ventilation in any way.
e. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a. Connect and disconnect dc output clamps only after setting any charger switches to off position and
removing ac cord from electric outlet. Never allow clamps to touch each other.
b. Attach clamps to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good connection.
This tends to keep the clamps from slipping off terminals and helps to reduce risk of sparking.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY
MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a. Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
d. d. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is
grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see item „e". If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see
item „f".
e. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp from battery charger to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to vehicle chassis or
engine block away from battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
