Operating Instructions
Please read the technical data
on the front of these instructions
for the maximum battery capacity
recommended for use with this
charger. Using this product with
batteries smaller than this capacity
may lead to damage to your battery.
If you have a maintenance free/
sealed battery it is not necessary
to carry out the following checks.
Carefully remove all the caps from
each battery cell and ensure the
liquid is at the recommended level.
Top up with distilled or de-ionised
water if required (Always wear
protective gloves as this liquid is
corrosive). Tap water should not be
used under any circumstances. Allow
time for any gases to escape before
replacing the caps.
Step 1 Switch Off Power
Make sure the AC power cord is
unplugged from the mains before
connecting the charger to the battery.
Step 2 Red Positive
Connect the RED
(+ POSITIVE)
clip
to the positive post of the battery.
All car batteries have a
“+”
sign
stamped near the positive terminal
post.
Step 3 Black Negative
Next connect the BLACK
(
- NEGATIVE
) charger clip onto a
non-painted metal bracket or bolt
head as far away from an installed
car battery as possible. This will
reduce the risk of sparks from
occurring near the battery, which
can cause an explosion.
For batteries removed from the
vehicle, place the black clip directly
onto the negative terminal post
(marked with a “-” symbol).
