CHARGER/MAINTAINER LOCATION
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.
1. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
2. Never place charger directly above battery being charged. Gases from battery will corrode and
damage charger.
3. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery.
4. Do not operate charger in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
5. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
SETTING UP & OPERATIONS
1. Make sure the room has plenty of ventilation.
2. Mount this charger away from any vehicle repair or service. Make sure never to start or run an
engine near the batteries being charged.
3. Be sure the total amperage used by this charger 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.
4. Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after setting any charger switches to off position and
removing AC cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
5. Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if necessary. Clamp the black end
(NEG, -) to the negative battery terminal. Clamp the red end (POS, +) to the positive battery
terminal.
6. Connect the charger to a grounded power receptacle that is wired in compliance with local
electrical codes.
Note that side mounted batteries will require the insertion of a lead post adapter. Plain bolts are not
safe. They will not allow for accurate reading and should not be used.
CHARGE TIME CALCULATION
This charger has a rated output of Ampere. (by models) These outputs will vary with the age and
condition of the battery being charged. Find your battery's rating on the chart below, and note the
charge time given for each charger setting.
Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to bring a battery to 80%
charge. Identify where your battery fits into the chart.
