USING THE ALTERNATOR

connect the charger to the battery, following
the instructions given in previous sections.
2.
Plug the charger AC power cord into the
AC outlet.
3.
Start the vehicle, rev the engine at 2000 RPM
for 30 seconds and turn on the vehicle's head-
lights or other accessories.
4.
Set the Display mode button to Alternator %.

alternator is working properly. The percentage
will be proportional to the voltage between

trical system checked by a qualified technician.
MAINTENANCE
A minimal amount of care can keep your battery
charger working properly for years.
•
Clean the clamps each time you are finished
charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may
have come in contact with the clamps to
prevent corrosion.
•
Occasionally cleaning the case of the charger
with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny
and help prevent corrosion.
•
Coil the input and output cords neatly when
storing the charger. This will help prevent
accidental damage to the cords and charger.
•
Store the charger unplugged from the AC
power outlet in an upright position.
•
Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not store
the clamps clipped together, on or around
metal, or clipped to the cables.
