LENGTH OF CHARGE
22.
a.
Test the battery for state of charge. Do not charge if it is over 75% charged or the battery is determined to be defective.
b.
Set beginning amps charge rate for size of battery and state of charge per charts
c.
Charge for length of time per charge,
d.
Discontinue charge when the specific gravity of electrolyte reaches 1.260 or above. A temperature compensating hydrometer should be used
for this reading. Discontinue charge if the battery begins to gas excessively or if the temperature of the electrolyte reaches approximately
125°F. Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging results in excessive water loss and eventual damage to the battery.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
- This battery charger must be fully assembled before operating. Failure to do so may result in risk of
injury.
USE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL:
The MINUTES CHARGE timer has an OFF position, a CONTINUOUS CHARGE position and a timed charge
range from 0 to 90 minutes.
a. OFF - Always make sure the timer is in the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting the clamps from
the battery. The charger will not charge with the timer in this position.
b. CONTINUOUS CHARGE - This position is used for slow charging or parallel charging and will not turn the
charger off. Do not use this position for fast charging.
c. 0 to 90 MINUTES TIMED CHARGE - The timer will automatically turn the charger off at the end of the pre-set charging time. Turn the timer past
20 before setting the desired time.
d. VOLTS CHARGE AND AMPS CHARGE - These switches are used to regulate the output voltage and current of the battery charger.
TO CHARGE BATTERIES
Make connections to the battery per the instructions in preceding section of this manual. Determine the battery voltage and turn the VOLTS
CHARGE switch to the lowest appropriate setting. Turn the AMPS CHARGE switch to "LO". Turn the timer on. If a higher rate of charge is
desired, advance the AMPS CHARGE switch to a higher position. If the charge rate is still not satisfactory, return the AMPS CHARGE switch to
"LO" and advance the VOLTS CHARGE switch one position. Adjust the AMPS CHARGE switch to the desired rate.
Extended position
Note: Pressure, when handle is squeezed,
holds adapter firm. Will not slip back.
