AMMETER
The Ammeter indicates the amount of
current, measured in amps, that is being
drawn by the battery. As a battery takes
on a charge, it draws less current from
the charger. Correspondingly, the meter
will show less current being drawn by the
battery. When the current stops decreasing,
the battery is charged. The 2 amp charge
rate may indicate some activity on the
meter, although the meter does not have
the resolution to display this low rate.
5. Connect the charger to the electrical
outlet.
6. Place the charge rate selector
switches (switch #1 and #2) in the
preferred position.
• For the 2A charge rate, switch #1 is
not used and switch #2 should be
toggled up.
• For the 35A charge rate, both
switches (#1 and #2) should be
toggled down.
7. MONITOR THE CHARGER AND THE
BATTERY.
8. When disconnecting the charger,
set switch #2 to the OFF position,
disconnect the charger from the
AC power, disconnect the negative
clamp, and finally the positive clamp.
9. A marine (boat) battery must be
removed and charged on shore.
MANUAL CHARGING MODE
When manual mode is performed, the
charger will continue to charge and will not
shut off. Monitor the charging process and
stop when the battery is fully charged. Not
doing so may damage your battery and
result in property damage or personal injury.
USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used to jump
start your car if the battery is low. Follow
all safety instructions and precautions for
charging your battery. Wear complete eye
protection and protective clothing.
WARNING: Using the ENGINE START
feature WITHOUT a battery installed in
the vehicle could cause damage to the
vehicle's electrical system.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery
and it still will not start your car, do not
use the Engine Start feature, or it could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
Have the battery checked.
