DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
16.
a.
Connect and disconnect the DC output clamps only after setting the charger switches to the OFF position and removing the AC cord from
the electric outlet. Never allow the clamps to touch each other.
b.
Attach the DC clamps to the battery post and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good connection. This tends to keep the
clamps from slipping off the terminals and helps to reduce the risk of sparking.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE
17.
BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY:
a.
Position the AC and DC cords to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door, or moving engine parts.
b.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (N, –) post.
c.
d.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most
vehicles), see item "e". If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see item "f".
e.
For negative-grounded vehicles, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded
post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis, heavy gauge metal part of the frame, or engine block,
away from the battery. Do not connect to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) ungrounded
f.
post of the battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the
clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
g.
When disconnecting the charger, turn the switches to OFF, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, and then
remove the clamp from the battery terminal.
h.
See the operating instructions for length of charge information.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE
18.
BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY:
Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
a.
Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
b.
c.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery.
d.
Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from the battery as possible - then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to
the free end of cable.
e.
Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
f.
When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure, and break the first connection while
standing as far away from the battery as practical.
g.
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine.
GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
19.
The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. This 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 accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER:
Never alter the AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric
shock. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in FIGURE (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in FIGURE (C), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as
shown in FIGURE (B), until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER:
Before using an adapter as illustrated, be certain that the center screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid
ear or lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace the
original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure the adapter ear or lug to the outlet cover plate and make ground connection
to grounded outlet.
NOTE:
USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO NOT
USE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
CHARGE PERIOD
20.
The approximate required time to bring a battery to full charge state depends upon the number of ampere-hours (AH) depleted from the battery.
AH is determined by multiplying the number of hours times the number of Amps supplied by a battery to a load and normally indicated on the
battery. For example, - if a load was connected to a battery, which drew 7 Amps for a period of 5 hours, the battery will have supplied 35 AH.
The approximate recharge time would then be calculated by dividing the 35 AH depleted from the battery, by the ampere charge rate of the
charger. To allow for tapering of the charge rate add 25 percent to the charge time.

OPERATING PROCEDURE
21
1.
Plug AC cord into outlet. Turn POWER switch ON. RED light will come on when a battery is connected to charger.
2.
Select mode of operation Flooded or AGM/Sealed. Most VRLA would be charged with flooded see battery manual for details, if in doubt
charge with sealed.
3.
Connect the RED clamp to the positive (+) and the BLACK clamp to the negative (-). The GREEN light will come on for 4 seconds. See
PREPARING TO CHARGE portion under IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS of this manual.
4.
The YELLOW light will come on when the GREEN light goes off and charging will begin.
5.
If the battery is deeply discharged, the YELLOW and GREEN lights will flash on and off for up to 30 minutes, in flooded setting.
6.
Charging will be discontinued if the battery will not accept charge after a reasonable amount of time and the RED light will flash.
