4 Charger/maintainer location
Locate charger as far away from battery as DC
cables permit.
Never place charger directly above battery be-
ing charged. Gases from battery will corrode
and damage charger.
Never allow battery acid to drip on charger
when reading gravity or filling battery.
Do not operate charger in a closed area or re-
strict ventilation in any way.
Do not set a battery on top of charger.
5 Setting up & operations
Make sure the room has plenty of ventilation.
Be sure the total amperage used by the Charg-
er should not exceed the amperage capacity
of the supply source. If you do not know how
to determine this, have a qualified electrician
determine the capacity for you.
Connect and disconnect DC output clips only
after removing AC cord from electric outlet.
Never allow clips to touch each other.
Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire
brush them if necessary. Clamp the black lead
to the negative battery terminal. Clamp the red
lead to the positive battery terminal.
Connect the Charger to a grounded power re-
ceptacle that is wired in compliance with local
electrical codes.

6 Disconnecting a battery from
the charger
The charger is safely maintaining the battery
at a full charge when the green light is on. The
battery is ready. Simply remove the battery

batteries and battery clamps. You can now load
test the battery if necessary.
- When the battery clamps are accidentally
disconnected while charging is in effect, the
charger will shut off. Green indicator light
will go flashing. Simply reconnect the bat-
tery charged.
- Do not disconnect the battery while charg-
ing. Wait for both green and red LED light
on.
