chassis.
5) For a positive grounded vehicle (very uncommon): connect the BLACK
NEGATIV clamp first to the negative battery terminal, then connect the
RED POSITIVE clamp to the positive battery terminal or vehicle chassis.
6) When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing
the negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).
7) Follow these steps when using 12V accessory plug: keep the vehicle
hood open. Connect the end of the 12V accessory plug to the charger;
insert the 12V accessory plug into the vehicle

s 12V outlet. If the

charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine
use.

CHARGING MODES

CT-15000 has nine modes: Standby, 12V NORM, 12V COLD/AGM, 24V
NORM, 24V COLD/AGM 12V AGM+, 12V LITHIUM, REPAIR, 13.6V SUPPLY
and 12V JUMP CHARGE. Some charge modes must be held for three (3)
seconds or / and pressed to enter the mode. Do not operate the charger
