Personal Safety Precautions For your own personal safety, please follow the following precautions: • Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working with lead-acid batteries. • Remove all personal metal Items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while working with a lead-acid battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe burn. • Be sure that someone is within range of your voice to come to your aid if needed while you work with or are near a lead-acid battery. • Take care not to drop any metal tool or metal object onto the battery. This may spark or short circuit the battery or another electrical device that may cause an explosion. • Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. If this happens, wash immediately with soap and water. Then get medical attention. • Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes. If this occurs, flush eyes immediately with running cold water for at least 10 minutes. Then immediately get medical attention, • Always operate your battery charger in an open, well ventilated area. • Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases. • Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up. 2 Parts This section shows an illustration of your battery charger.

This section will tell you about your charger's electrical requirements and how to prepare a battery for charging. Plugging it in III1_ ga Your charger requires a 120V receptacle installed according to all local codes and ordinances. Using an extension cord The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If you must use an extension cord, please make sure that you follow these guidelines: • Make sure that the pins on charger's power cord fit firmly into the extension cord, and that the extension cord fits firmly into the receptacle. • Check that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Length of Cord, in Feet 25 50 100 150 AWG* Size of Cord 18 16 12 10 *AWG = Amedcen V_re Gauge • Make sure that the wire size is large enough for its length and for the AC ampere rating as specified in the accompanying chart. Preparing your battery to be charged It is important that you read and follow these guidelines while you are preparing to charge your battery. Wear safety glasses. See additional "Personal Safety Precautions" on page 2. • Make sure that you have a 12 volt or 6 volt lead-acid battery. Set the selector switch to match the voltage rating of the battery to be charged. Be sure that the area around the battery is well ventilated while it is being charged. If ventilation is poor, gas can be manually blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan. • Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from getting in or around your eyes. If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. A spark may be caused if all accessories in the vehicle are not completely turned off. • If you have a battery with removable cell 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 without cell caps, no action is necessary. Continue to the next step listed below. NOTE: A marine battery installed in a boat must be removed and charged on shore. • Take time to read all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and recommended rates of charge. 4 Using Your Battery Charger To obtain the best results from your battery charger, you must know how to use it properly. This section will tell you how to set the controls, how to charge a battery in or out of a vehicle, and how to use the charger to help start an engine. Setting the Controls All controls are located on the front of the charger. Follow these instructions to obtain the correct charge level for your battery. SELECTOR SWITCHES: Your charger has three switches: • Use the left switch to match the battery voltage-either 6 or 12 volt. • Use the center switch to select a charge type-MANUAL, AUTOMATIC DEEP CYCLE or AUTOMATIC REGULAR. • Use the right switch to select a charge rate---2 AMP charge, 12 AMP charge, or 75 AMP ENGINE START. I DI Battery Voltage: Select the voltage of your battery. The most common applications will be 12 volt. Charge Type: • Use the MANUAL setting only if you check the charging progress frequently. The charger will not stop charging when the battery reaches full charge, possibly damaging the battery if left on too long. You must monitor and unplug the charger when battery is fully charged. • Use the AUTOMATIC DEEP-CYCLE setting for all deep-cycle battery charging. The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full charge. • Use the AUTOMATIC REGULAR setting for all but deep-cycle batteries and for a severely discharged battery. The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full charge. • A severely discharqed battery may not have enough charge to start the control circuit in an AUTOMATIC setting, In this case, charge on MANUAL until the battery has enough charge to accept an AUTOMATIC setting. Charge Rate: • Use the 2 AMP charge rate setting for charging small batteries and warming large batteries.The lower the charge rate, the longer it will take to charge the battery. • Use the 12 AMP rate setting for automotive, deep cycle and other large batteries. • Use the 75 AMP ENGINE START setting only to assist in cranking the engine. 6 VOLT 12 VOLT I MANUAL I AUTOMATIC DEEP - CYCLE AUTOMATIC REGULAR I 2 AMP 12 AMP ENGINE START AMMETER: The ammeter indicates the measured amount of amperes being drawn by the battery. When you first 3tart charging a battery, the reading will be high, with the needle near 12 using the 12 amp charging rate. • In the MANUAL setting, as the battery charges, the needle will fall to about 5 to 6 amps, indicating a charged battery. • In both AUTOMATIC settings, the needle will fall to zero and the charger will shut off when the charger's control circuit senses a full charge. A freshly charged battery's voltage will drop shortly after charging, and the charger, if left connected, may resume charging. This off-and-on cycling will continue until the battery's voltage no longer drops enough to restart the charger. • At the 2 amp charging rate you will notice very little needle movement.

LED INDICATOR: The green LED INDICATOR wUl glow when the charger senses that the battery has reached a full charge. • When using the MANUAL charge rate, stop charging when the LED glows and the AMMETER needle is about 5 to 6 amps in the 12 Amp setting. • For deep cycle batteries, you may wish to allow the battery another one or two hours of charging after the LED glows to obtain a maximum charge. Charging Charging • When using the AUTOMATIC charge rates, the LED will cycle on and off indicating the charger is maintaining the battery's state of charge. Your Battery a battery in the vehicle: 1. Arrange the power cord and charging leads carefully to avoid damage that could be caused by the hood, door, or moving engine parts. 2. Keep clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury. 3. Check the polarity of the battery posts as indicated on the battery case: POSITIVE (POS, P, or +) and NEGATIVE (NEG. N or -). NOTE: The positive post on top-post batteries is usually larger than the negative post, 4. Identify which battery post is ground or connected to the chassis. THE NEGATIVE POST IS NORMALLY THE ONE THAT IS GROUNDED, 5. To charge a negative grounded post system: Connect the red (POSITIVE) battery charger clamp to the ungrounded POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery. Then connect the black (NEGATIVE) clamp to a heavy, unpainted metal part of the chassis or engine block, away from the battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal parts. 6 \ NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM 6. Connect the clamp to the battery post and twist or rock back and forth to make a solid connection. This will help keep the clamps from slipping off the posts and causing sparks. 7. For automatic charging, select AUTOMATIC DEEP CYCLE or AUTOMATIC REGULAR as a charge type then select a charge rate. The charger will stop charging when the battery is fully charged. 8. For manual charging, select MANUAL as a charge type then select a charge rate. The charger will not stop charging when the battery is fully charged--you must monitor and unplug charger when battery is fully charged. Avoid overcharging, monitor the AMMETER frequently when in the MANUAL mode. 9. Next plug the power cord into an AC outlet. 10. When the battery is fully charged, in the MANUAL mode, the AMMETER pointer will fall to about half the charge rate selected. For specific positions, refer to the "Ammeter" section in "Using your battery charger" on a page 6. 11. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger power cord before attempting to disconnect charger clamps. 12. Standing away from the battery, remove the charger clamps In this order: (1) from the chassis connection and, (2) from the battery post or terminal. 13. Clean and store the battery charger in a dry location. Charging POSITIVE NEGATIVE BATTERY 24", 6 GAUGE CABLE CHARGER POWER CORD TO POWER OUTLET your battery outside the vehicle: 1.

First, identify where your battery fits into the chart. Small batteriesmotorcycles, garden tractors, etc. -- are usually rated in Ampere Hours (AH). For example; 6 to 12 AH, or 12 to 32 AH. Batteries in cars and smaller trucks are usually rated in Reserve Capacity (RC), Cold-Cranking Amps (CCA), or both. • Marine, or deep-cycle batteries are usually rated in Reserve Capacity (RC). NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENED. Find your battery's rating on the chart to the right and note the charge time given for each charger setting. The times given are for batteries with a 50-percent charge prior to recharging. Add more time for severely discharged batteries. !iiii iiii i iiiiiii;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ii! ! iiii SMALL BATTERIES Motorcycle, garden tractor, etc. 2-4 NR 12-32 AH 4-10 NR 200 - 315 CCA 40 - 60 RC 11 -14 17/8- 2V2 315 - 550 CCA 60 - 85 RC 14-18 21/2- 3 550 - 1000 CCA 85 -190 RC 18-35 3 - 53/4 CAR/TRUCKS 6-12AH MARINE/DEEP CYCLE 80 RC 18 3 140 RC 27 4V2 160 RC 30 5 180 RC 33 51/2 The Hydrometer or Electronic Method To find the time needed to fully charge your battery, determine the battery's charge level with a hydrometer or electronic Percent-of-Charge Tester. The following table will help you convert hydrometer readings to percent of charge values. 1.265 100% 0% 1.225 75% 25% 1.155 25% 75% 1.120 0% 100% To calculate time needed for a charge: • Find the percent of charge needed. (A battery at 50 percent charge that will be charged to 100 percent needs another 50 percent (.50). • Multiply the Amp Hour rating by the charge needed (.50) and divide by the charger setting (2 or 12 amps). • Multiply the result by 1.25 and you'll have the approximate time needed, in hours, to bring the battery to full charge. • Add one additional hour for a deep-cycle battery. Example: Amp Hour Rating x charqe needed x 1.25 = hours Charger Setting of charge 100 (All Rating) x .50 (charge needed) x 1.25 = 5.2 12 (Charger Setting) hours When you know the percent of charge and the Amp Hour (AH) rating of your battery, you can calculate the approximate time needed to bring your battery to a full charge. 100 x .50 = 4.167 x 1.25 = 5.2 12 To convert Reserve Capacity to Amp Hours, divide Reserve Capacity by 2, and add 16: Amp Hours = Reserve Capacity 2 You would need to charge your lO0-Ampere Hour Battery for a little more than 5 hours at the 12-amp rate using the above example. + 16 8 Using the engine start feature Your battery charger can be used to jump start your car if the battery is low. Follow these instructions on how to use the ENGINE START feature. 1. Connect the charger to the battery. (Follow connecting instructions given in "Charging your battery" on page 6.) 2. Set the Selector Switch on ENGINE START. 3. Crank the engine for no more than 7 seconds. If it does not start, wait at least 4 minutes before cranking again. In extreme cold or if the battery is severely discharged, charge the battery for about 5 minutes before cranking the engine. Maintenance and care A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years. 1. 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. 2. Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger. 3. Occasional cleaning of the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help prevent corrosion. 4. After the engine starts, unplug the charger power cord from the AC outlet. Then disconnect the charger from the battery. IMPORTANT: Do not try to start the engine without a battery in it. You could cause damage to the electrical system. If the engine does turn over, but never starts up, there is not a problem with the starting system, there is a problem somewhere else in the engine. STOP cranking the engine until the other problem has been identified and corrected. Troubleshooting Performance problems often result from little things that you can fix yourself, Please read through this chart for a _ossible solution if a problem occurs. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION/REASONS No ammeter reading. Clamps not making good connection, Check for poor connection at battery. Make sure clamps and posts are clean.
