Be careful to keep corrosion from getting in or around your eyes. • Wear safety glasses. See additional "Personal Safety Precautions" on page 4. • For batteries with removable vent caps, if required, add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level recommended by the manufacturer. This will help purge excessive gases from the cells. Be careful not to overfill. If you have a sealed battery with non-removable vent caps, no action is necessary. • Be sure that the area around the battery is well ventilated while it is being charged. • Take time to read all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing NOTE: A marine battery installed in a boat must be removed and charged on shore. • If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Turn off all vehicle accessories to avoid sparks from occurring. Read the following pages before using your charger. guide for specific situations. If your vehicle won't operate your vehicle, you dQn't need to wait for the entire charging process to be completed. When the charger displays three Battery Status LEDs (see pages 8, 9, and 12), the battery has been charged as much as by most chargers. The vehicle should then start and operate normally. start: You don't need to fully charge a battery to start your vehicle. If the charger won't start your vehicle using the 100 Amp Start rate, try charging the battery using the 15 Amp rate for 10 or 15 minutes. That should charge the battery enough to allow the 100A Start rate to start the vehicle. If the vehicle will then be operated period vehicle normal continuously Completing an interrupted charge: If the charging process has been interrupted and restarted after three Battery Status LEDs were lit, the charger will go straight to Maintain Mode (see pages 7 & 9). However, if the original charge was started using 15 Amps, the charge can often be completed using 2 Amps. for an extended (such as a long drive), the could charge the battery back to during that pedod.

If successful, normal charging will resume. If not, a red LED will blink indicating that charging has been aborted. When the amber LED is on but not flashing, normal charging is in progress. Charge completion is indicated by a green LED; at this point the charger has switched to the Maintain Mode of 2 Amp charge rate: Intended for charging of small batteries such as those commonly used in garden tractors, snowmobiles and motorcycles. It is not to be used as a trickle charger for larger batteries. 15 Amp charge rate: Use for charging automotive batteries, marine starter batteries and deep cycle batteries. Not intended for industrial applications and very large batteries where 20 amp and greater charge rates are required. 100 Amp engine start: Provides amps for cranking an engine operation. Maintain Mode: When the green LED is lit, the charger has started Maintain Mode. This mode of operation is also known as Float-Mode Monitoring. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small current, when necessary. 100 with a weak or run down battery. Always use in combination with a battery. Charging: Both the 2 and 15 amp charge rates perform an automatic charge function. Dudng the first few seconds of operation, an analytical check of the battery is performed. If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the red "check" LED will light continuously until such a " battery is detected. If a battery will not accept a normal charge, the charger will switch to a special mode of operation designed for such batteries. Battery types: The charger offers a selection of three different types of batteries: • Type 1 most Low-Maintenance, and Gel Cell batteries; AGM Type 2 Deep Cycle and MaintenanceFree batteries; • Type 3 Deep cycle batteries with a built-in 'eye-type' charge indicator. 7 With the exception of AGM batteries, battery all other may not have vent caps.

See the Control Panel table on the next on page 3. page. Engine cranking: When the 100A Start rate is selected, the charger waits until the engine is actually being cranked before delivering 100 amps for engine start. Note: The charger delivers a charge of 3 to 7 amps while waiting for the engine to be cranked and will reset if the engine is not cranked within 15 minutes. Cranking is allowed for up to 3 seconds, then the charger shuts down for a 4 minute cool down Setup and Operating: Follow all safety and connecting procedures in this manual. Located above each button on the control pad is an amber LED that lights to indicate that the selection is active. When first plugged in, the charger will automatically default to the 2 AMP / TYPE 1 position. You may then select the charge rate and battery type. For example, if you're charging a large 12volt deep cycle battery, press the buttons labeled 15 AMP and TYPE 2. period. During the cool down period the Start LED will blink. After 4 minutes, the Start LED will light continuously, indicating that another crank cycle can be performed. Note: If you press a charge rate or battery type button after charging has started, the charger will restart the charging process. Refer to "Estimating Charge Time" on page 12 for more information. Battery Status LEDs: The status of the battery is indicated by a row of six LED's. The first LED is red; it will light under the following conditions: 1.

Battery rating: A higher rated battery will take much longer to charge than a lower rated battery under the same conditions. A battery's rating may be indicated in Ampere hours (Ah), Reserve Capacity (RC), or Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). The lower the rating, the quicker the charging will be completed. For example, a very small battery might be rated for 6 Ah and charge in 4 hours, but a very large battery might be rated for 100 Ah and require 24 hours to charge completely. starts charging the charge manner. has started, at the and rate in a After the the LEDs can be used to the charge time as explained • Fled LED: Checking for properly connected battery, not charging (no output). • 1 Amber LED: Battery detected, charging started, 3 to 10 seconds from start. 2 Amber LED$: Charging roughly 20% to 25% complete, 1 to 5 hours from start. • 3 Amber LEDs: Charging 35% to 50% complete, roughly 3 to 7 hours from start.

Clean the clamps each time you are finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may have come in contact with the clamps to prevent corrosion. 3. Occasional cleaning of the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help prevent corrosion. 2. Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger. 13 Performance problems often can be corrected by the user. Please read through this chart for a possible solutions to common problems. PROBLEM POSSIBLE Indicator lights are lit in an errat c manner not ] explained in the "Using Your Battery Charger" section. CAUSE SOLUTION The charger may be defective, Return to place of purchase for a replacement. This will happen if the battery did not reach full charge within 24 hours. May be due to a very large battery or a bank of batteries requiring more than what a 15 Amp charger can deliver within 24 hours. The battery may also be bad. Reset the charger by unplugging it or briefly disconnecting the negative battery clip. Select the desired charge rate and battery type again, if necessary, Engine crank time is less than specified. Starter motor may be drawing more than 100 Amps. Charge the battery at the 15 Amp rate for 10 to 15 minutes then crank the engine. The green full charge light turns on a few minutes after connecting to the battery. The battery may be fully charged or recently charged leaving the battery voltage high enough to make the charger think the battery is fully charged. If the battery is in a vehicle turn the headlights on for a few minutes to reduce the battery voltage and try charging again: The red abort light always flashes before the battery is charged.
