OPErAtINg INStruCtIONS
using more than One Function
When the unit is charging a battery, only one additional function (battery voltage check, alternator check, battery recondition
or engine start) can be performed, with the exception of the inflator function; and the user must manually turn off one function
before turning on another.
IMPORTANT: The inflator function takes precedence over any other functions that may be operating. When the inflator power
switch is pressed to on (I), all other functions will be inactive.
Preparing to Charge
1. R emove battery completely from boat/airplane or any confined area before charging.
2. I f it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, always remove grounded terminal from battery
first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3. C lean battery terminals, taking care to avoid getting corrosive material in eyes.
4. A dd 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 (maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer' s charging
instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturer' s specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and
recommended rates of charge.
Charger location
• Locate charger as far away from battery as cables permit.
• Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.

• Never allow battery acid to drip on charger.
• Never operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• Marine batteries must be removed and charged on shore.
• Do not set a battery on top of charger.
• Use the unit on a flat, level surface to avoid movement during operation. If it must be used on a slanting or uneven surface, take
proper precautions to secure the wheels to avoid shifting or movement before use.
Charging the Battery
WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. To reduce the risk of a spark near the battery
position AC cord away from hood, door, or moving engine parts.
1. P lug the battery charger' s power cord into an AC outlet. The main power on/off switch will light red when the unit is properly
connected.
2. P ress the main power on/off switch to turn the unit on. A beep will sound, the power on/off switch will light red and the LCD
screen will display the following:
The clamp icons will flash to indicate the battery clamps are not yet connected to the battery.
3. C heck polarity of battery posts. Positive (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than negative (NEG, N, –) post.
4. D etermine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most
vehicles), see 5. If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see 6.
5. 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 clip to carburetor,
fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
6. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect negative (black) clamp from battery charger to negative (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post
of battery. Connect positive (red) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do-not connect clip to carburetor,
fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
IMPORTANT: If the clamps are INCORRECTLY connected with regard to polarity, the LCD screen will display the following (the
alarm icon in the triangle and the curved arrow will flash) until the clamps are disconnected:
Unplug the charger; then remove the clamps. Reconnect the clamps properly.
7. I f the clamps are CORRECTLY connected with regard to polarity and the unit is properly connected to the AC outlet, a beep will
sound and the unit will AUTOMATICALLY begin charging the battery. The LCD screen will display the following:
The digital display shows the output current that is charging the battery. The bars on the battery icon will change from empty
to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly and the arrows pointing to the "+" and "–" flash.
Notes:
To change the output charging current, simply turn the output current adjustment knob. The digital display will reflect the value selected. The
maximum output current is 40A.
If the battery is already charged to nearly full capacity, the unit' s output current may be reduced by a few amperes, despite the 40A user setting.
The icon will appear at the bottom left of the digital display if the surrounding ambient temperature is higher than approximately 40°C. The
icon will appear at the bottom left of the digital display if the surrounding ambient temperature is lower than 0°C. This is not a fault code, but
indicates that the unit' s temperature compensation feature is operating.
IMPORTANT:
If the battery is overheated, the charging process will terminate and the LCD screen will display the flashing overheat alarm
icon, as follows:
Disconnect the charger and allow the charger to cool for several minutes. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the
unit before attempting to charge again.
