1.

Check that the Charging Controller (6) is in the “O” (OFF) position.

2.

Connect the appropriate lead to the unearthed battery terminal (on most modern
vehicles, this is the positive (+ve) terminal), then connect the other lead to the chassis
(or a suitable engine bolt) away from the battery and fuel line.

REMEMBER, Positive to Positive, Negative to Negative.

3.

Select, via Voltage Selector switch (7), the appropriate voltage required (12V or 24V),
which will be indicated on the voltmeter (5).

4.

Switch ON the Charging Controller (6) to SLOW position.

5.

Turn the current controller (8), clockwise to a position between 1 and 6 so as to obtain
the desired charging rate as indicated on the ammeter (3).

PROCEDURE FOR NORMAL CHARGING

Ref. Fig. 1

FAST  CHARGING  WITH  TIMER

1.

Follow the same instructions as for NORMAL CHARGING, up to and including
paragraph  (c).

2.

Turn the timer control knob (1) clockwise to the desired charging time setting.

3.

Switch ON the Charging Controller (6) to fast position.

4.

Turn the current controller (8) clockwise to position 5 or 6 so as to obtain the desired
charging  rate  as  indicated  on  the  ammeter(3).

NOTES

1.

A complete charge is best done slowly, so in this case we recommend that the
charging rate (Amps) should not exceed 10% of the battery capacity rating
(Ampere Hour) i.e. a normal car battery has Ampere Hour rating of approximately
40 A.H. so the charging rate should not exceed 4 Amps (a complete charge
should  therefore,  take  approximately  10  hours).

A slow charge rate will also extend the life of the battery.

2.

If a low current reading is obtained at any setting, this may indicate that the
battery is either (a) already fully charged, or (b) at the end of its useful life and in
need of replacement. Check the SG of the battery with a hydrometer to check its
condition.

3.

DO NOT exceed a charging rate of 80 Amps.
