For series charging, both batteries must be at identical
depths of discharge (DOD); ie, they are used in series
in the vehicle. A mismatch in DOD of the two batteries
will result in severe overcharge of the lightly discharged
battery and severe undercharge of a deeply, dis-
charged battery.
Operate this charger as instructed in Operation chapter
of this manual, except that charger must be connected
to both batteries instead of just one. Refer to
Figure 7-2.
CAUTION: Make sure all connections are made
positive to positive and negative to negative as
shown.

control. Closely observe wire color coding.

ments. The switch must be in the open (OFF) position
