clip to carburettor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage
metal part of the frame or engine block.
f) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery
charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE
(RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect
clip to carburettor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage
metal part of the frame or engine block.
g) When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip
from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
h) See operating instructions for length of charge information.
16. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK
NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a
larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
b) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
c) 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.
d) Do not face battery when making fi nal connection.
e) Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet and when disconnecting
charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break fi rst
connection while standing as far away from battery as practical.
17. FOR CHARGING BATTERIES WITHIN A VEHICLE USING THE PERMANENT
RING LEAD CONNECTOR LEADS
a. Check to make sure that the permanent ring lead connectors are a suitable size to
connect to the battery screw clamp connections.
b. Connect the red ring lead to the positive (+) and the black ring lead to the negative
(-) battery connection. Ensure that the connection is not loose.
c. This battery lead can be permanently left in position on the battery and the end
connector can be positioned somewhere suitable that will allow for a quick and
convenient connection to the Oximiser 900 when required. The leads provided are
supplied with a weatherproof cap to ensure that the connections do not become
corroded.
Note: The advanced electronic programming of the Oximiser 900 makes it impossible
to create any sparks which could otherwise ignite the gases of a battery. It is also
impossible to cause a short circuit or sparks from the battery clamps/crocodile clips as
the unit returns to STANDBY if it is not connected to a battery.
(D) HOW TO START THE CHARGING PROCESS
1. Read the digital display to ensure that the Oximiser 900 has been connected
correctly to the battery connections. If the red warning light is fl ashing, it means
that the positive and negative leads need to be swapped over. If the red warning
light is lit but not fl ashing, then it means that the battery voltage is too low and the
charger should be disconnected from the battery.
2. As soon as the mains power is turned on, the Oximiser 900 will start charging
automatically. The charging process can be interrupted by switching off the mains
power and then disconnecting the leads.
