CHARGING
Connecting the charger to a battery fitted in a vehicle
1. The power cord should be disconnected when connecting or disconnecting the battery leads.
2. Identify the battery terminal that is grounded (connected to the chassis). The negative terminal is normally the grounded post.
3. Charging a negatively grounded battery. Connect the red cable to the positive terminal on the battery and the black cable to
good metal engine ground away from the battery. Ensure you do not connect the black cable to fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts.
4. Charging a positively grounded battery. Connect the black cable to the negative terminal on the battery and the red cable to
good metal engine ground away from the battery. Ensure you do not connect the black cable to fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts.
Connecting the charger to an out of vehicle battery:
1. The power cord should be disconnected when connecting or disconnecting the battery leads.
2. Connect the red cable to the positive terminal on the battery and the black cable to the negative terminal.
If the battery leads have been connected incorrectly, the reverse polarity protection system will ensure that neither the charger
nor the battery are damaged.
Start charging
1. Connect the charger´s AC cord to an AC Power Supply. The charger will indicate POWER, yellow indication lamp (B).
2. The lamp for completely discharged battery (1) will illuminate if the battery’s voltage is less than 12V.
3. Normal charging will be indicated by the following lights: completely discharged battery (1), bulk charging (2), absorption
charging (3) or maintenance charging (4). When the maintenance charging lamp illuminates the battery is fully charged.
Charging will start if the voltage drops. The charger can normally be connected for months. Reconditioning is indicated by the
lamp (5) illuminating.
4. If the battery leads have been connected incorrectly, the reverse polarity protection system will ensure that neither the
charger nor the battery are damaged.
5. If nothing happens. If the lamp indicating the setting and the power lamp remain lit but no other lamp illuminates, the
connection to the battery or chassis may be poor or the battery may be faulty. Another cause may be a lack of voltage in the
AC Power Supply. Begin by improving the connection between the battery and charger.
6. Charging can be stopped at any time by disconnecting the charger’s AC cord. Always disconnect the AC cord before
disconnecting the battery leads. When you stop charging a battery installed in a vehicle you should always disconnect the
battery lead from the chassis before disconnecting the other battery lead.
