3. Wear safety glasses, gloves and protective clothing.
4. Remove battery from vehicle. Make sure that the battery has good ventilation. The
process will cause the electrolytes to gas and release hydrogen and oxygen. Because
of the accumulation of these gases, the chance of explosion is realistic.
5. Open the battery cap.
6. Fill the battery with distilled water according to the manufacturers instructions. Since the
batteries may rapidly bubble while being charged, refill only with distilled water after
the equalization process is complete and the voltage is back to normal.
7. The battery should have no charge on it during the equalization process.
8. Plug in the charger, the display will show "000" and the battery type LED will default to
"gel."
9. Push the Battery Type Selector Switch until "wet" is displayed (this mode will only
work if the battery type selected is "wet").
10. Choose the correct charge rate and start charge. You can check the battery voltage
by pushing the Battery Voltage button. This will trigger the Battery Voltage indicator
button.
11. Push the Equalize button anytime and the battery will automatically begin to equalize,
but in 2 amp limited current. In order to push the recessed button, you will need a
small pin or ballpoint pen.
12. Every hour the temperature should be checked by touching the battery. If the battery
is too hot to touch, stop the charging and let the battery cool.
13. The voltage rises but does not go over 15.3V to 16.2V (2.55 - 2.7V per cell). Depend-
ing on ambient temperature, it will automatically adjust.
14. The "wet" LED flashes while the charger is in the equalize mode.
15. The digital readout will show "FUL" when the equalization process in complete.
16. The equalization process may take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours to complete.
ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE CHECK: will not work in normal charge mode. It will only
work in the stand-by mode when the LED display is showing "000" or a circulating
pattern.
PART 1: No Load (Turn OFF all vehicle's accessories): The battery must be fully charged
before testing the alternator. Run the engine long enough to achieve normal idle speed
and verify there is a no-load voltage.
1. PRESS and hold down Alternator Check for 5 seconds to start the check.
2. ALTERNATOR GOOD LED will light to indicate the alternator is good, or the
FAULT CODE F07 will be displayed to indicate the alternator is not good.
3. Press Alternator Check button again to stop the test.
PART 2: Under Load (Accessories ON): Next, load the alternator by turning on as many
accessories as possible (except for A/C and DEFROST).
1. PRESS and hold down Alternator Check for 5 seconds to start the check.
2. ALTERNATOR GOOD LED will light to indicate the alternator is good, or the
FAULT CODE F07 will be displayed to indicate the alternator is not good.
3. Press Alternator Check button again to stop the test.
If the first Alternator Check indicates a good alternator and the second indicates the alter-
nator is bad, the problem could stem from: loose fan belts, an intermittent diode failure
or possible bad connections between the battery and alternator and/or ground.
NOTE: BATTERY VOLTAGE button is disabled in Alternator Check mode.
NOTE: If someone has added a number of accessory loads on the charging system,
thereby increasing current demand from the alternator. MAKE SURE THAT THE AL-
TERNATOR IS RATED TO THE APPLICATION.
