Timer (most models) switch allows the selection of any charging time, up to 120 minutes. When the selected time

is up, the timer automatically shuts the charger OFF. On manual to automatic Model OS6140, the charger switches

to an automatic on/off mode that will start and stop charging as the battery requires.

Ammeter indicates the charging current being drawn from the charger by the battery. See Reading an Ammeter in

this manual.

Voltmeter the voltmeter (if so equipped) will indicate voltage whenever the charger is turned on, or when the

clamps are connected to a battery. If the unit is turned on and connected to a battery, it will read the combined

voltage of the battery and the charger. If there is no reading when connected to a battery, check the connections

and/or the battery.

Volt Selector (Model OS6140 only) allows the selection of 6 Volt or 12 Volt charging. This switch also has an OFF

position to turn the charger OFF.

Voltmeter/Test Meter (if so equipped) the combination test meter/voltmeter on the front of the charger is used to

read the voltage across the battery charger clamps.

Control Setting Instructions

Charge Voltage and Rate Selection

charged. Use the battery manufacturer's specific instructions or see the guidelines below. If the battery voltage is

not clearly marked on the battery, refer to the operator's manual for the vehicle/equipment where the battery is

used/intended to be used. Do not begin charging if the battery voltage cannot be determined. The available
