2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1)  
battery charger, (2) battery and (3) product using battery.  
3. CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only lead acid type rechargeable batteries.  
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.  
4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer  
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.  
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when  
disconnecting charger.  
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise  
subjected to damage or stress.  
7. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper  
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must  
be used, make sure:  
(a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those  
of plug on charger;  
(b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and  
(c) That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below

1. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine  
part.  
2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that coo cause injury to persons.  
3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P. + ) battery post usually has larger  
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N. - ) post.  
4. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected to the chassis). If negative  
post is grounded to chassis (as in mast vehicles), see #5. If positive post is grounded  
to the chassis, see #6.  
5. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to  
POSITIVE (POS, P. + ) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to  
vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel  
lines, or sheet-metal body puts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine  
block.

3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P. + ) post of battery.  
4. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible-then  
connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.  
5. Do not face battery when making final connection.  
6. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting  
procedure and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical.  
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board  
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.  
I. GROUNDINGANDACPOWERCORDCONNECTIONINSTRUCTIONS  
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with  
anelectriccordhavinganequipment-groundingconductorandagroundingplug. Theplug  
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with  
all local codes and ordinances.  
DANGER - Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet  
Page3  
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 117-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug  
that looks like the plug illustrated In sketch A In Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks  
like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-  
pole receptacle as shown In sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The  
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
DANGER - Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate  
is grounded. The green colored rigid ear or lug extending from adapter must be connected  
to a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original  
outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet  
cover plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.  
Use of an adapter is not allowed in Canada. It a grounding type receptacle is not available,  
do not use this appliance until the proper outlet is installed by a qualified electrician.

J. OPERATIONINSTRUCTIONS  
This battery charger is equipped with a self-resetting circuit breaker. This device protects  
the charger from temporary overloads. In the event of an overload, the circuit breaker  
will trip open, and after a short cooling off period will reset automatically. This process  
is known as cycling and can be recognized by an audible clicking sound.  
K. OUTPUTVOLTAGESELECTORSWITCH  
Set output voltage selector switch to match voltage of battery to be charged. For models  
without voltage selector switch make sure voltage of battery matches that of the charger.  
Battery charger models having a voltage selector switch are for charging a 6 or a 12 Volt  
battery. Those having no voltage switch are intended for charging a 12 Volt battery only.

OUTPUTCURRENTSELECTORSWITCH  
In addition to the voltage selector switch, some models are equipped with a two position  
switch, allowing the operator to select the ampere charge rate to a battery, as follows:

-
Before making any connections to battery, read instructions F, G and H carefulIy.  
Connect DC output clips only when AC power supply cord is removed from electrical  
outlet.  
Never allow cilps to touch each other.  
M. CHARGE PERIOD: 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’s are  
determined by multiplying the number of hours times the number of Amps supplied by a  
battery to a load.  
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.  
Indications of a fully charged battery are:  
When the ammeter indicates the charge rate has tapered to approximately one half the  
charger rated output.  
A hydrometer reading of the specific gravity of the electrolyte (fluid) of a battery in good  
condition should be between 1.250 and 1.285.  
When a battery reaches 80 - 85% of full charge bubbles will appear on the surface of  
the fluid. As the battery nears full charge, bubbling will become more noticeably  
vigourous.  
Disconnecting from Battery:  
Before disconnecting from battery read instructions F. G and H carefully.  
N. STORAGE: Store battery charger In a dry area.  
O. PROBLEMCHECKLIST  
1. If no meter reading, check the following:  
a. Remove the charger power cord plug from the AC outlet and recheck the battery  
charger clips for clean, tight connections.  
b. Check voltage selector switch for proper setting.  
c. Check for voltage at the AC outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.  
2. If Ammeter pointer moves to extreme right, remains a short time, then returns to zero,  
accompanied by a cilcking sound, check the following:  
a. Possibly, the charger connections are reversed. (Positive to negative, instead of  
positive to positive).  
Page5  
b. A severely discharged, but otherwise good battery. In this situation, the circuit  
breaker will continue to cycle and the ammeter pointer will swing from one side  
to the other, until the battery has recovered sufficiently to allow a normal charging  
rate.  
c. A defective battery may cause repeated circuit breaker cycling. A battery in this  
condition will not accept a charge and should be replaced.  
d. Check voltage switch for proper setting.  
3. If charging current Is less than full output rating of the charger, check the following:  
a. Perhaps battery is partially charged.  
b. Perhaps battery is sulphated and will not accept full charge rate.  
c. Perhaps power line is providing low AC supply voltage.
