Gel cell and sealed "maintenance-free" deep-cycle
batteries are generally distinguished by non-
removable cell caps. The physical appearance of
the battery case is frequently the same as that of a
replacement liquid electrolyte battery though the cell
caps are generally not removable.
Refer to the battery manufacturer's information panel
on the battery case to determine the type battery
you have. If the information panel is missing or not
legible, do not use the battery. Refer to your dealer
if you do not understand what type battery you are
using and have them set the "BATTERY TYPE"
switch accordingly.
The "BATTERY TYPE" switch is a two-position slide
switch visible in the rectangular opening on the front
of the charger. Using a small screwdriver, slide the
switch from one setting to the other through the
opening. Take care not to damage the switch when
moving it to the desired setting.
NORMAL OPERATION
Instructions printed on cover of charger are for
daily reference.
1.
Set "BATTERY TYPE" switch to the proper style
of battery to be charged.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE BATTERY
PACK IS A 24-VOLT, 12-CELL, SERIES
CONNECTED, 28-90 AMP-HOUR (20 HR. RATE),
RECHARGEABLE DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY
SYSTEM. THE "GEL CELL AND SEALED DEEP-
CYCLE BATTERY" SETTING CHARGES TO A
MAXIMUM ON-CHARGE VOLTAGE OF 2.38
VOLTS PER CELL. THE "REPLACEABLE
ELECTROLYTE DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY"
SETTING HAS AN ON-CHARGE VOLTAGE OF AT
LEAST 2.50 VOLTS PER CELL. VISUALLY
CHECK THAT THE BATTERY TYPE SWITCH IS
SET CORRECTLY FOR THE TYPE OF BATTERY
YOU ARE USING.
CAUTION: MANY DC PLUGS DO NOT HAVE
A STANDARDIZED WIRING PATTERN. BEFORE
CONNECTING TO EQUIPMENT, VERIFY THAT
THE CHARGER PLUG WIRING PATTERN
MATCHES THE EQUIPMENT BEING CHARGED
BEFORE CONNECTING. DAMAGE MAY RESULT
IF A PLUG THAT IS WIRED FOR OTHER
APPLICATIONS IS USED ON YOUR EQUIPMENT.
CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
DANGER: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT TOUCH UNINSULATED PARTS OF THE
CHARGER DC OUTPUT CONNECTOR, BATTERY
CONNECTOR, OR BATTERY TERMINALS. MAKE
SURE ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ARE IN
GOOD WORKING CONDITION. DO NOT USE
CONNECTORS THAT ARE CRACKED,
CORRODED, OR DO NOT MAKE ADEQUATE
ELECTRICAL CONTACT. USE OF A DAMAGED
OR DEFECTIVE CONNECTOR MAY RESULT IN A
RISK OF OVERHEATING OR ELECTRIC SHOCK.
2.
Move "POWER" switch to "OFF" position.
3.
Connect the power supply cord to a properly
grounded, 120 volt, 60 Hertz single-phase outlet.
4.
Connect charger's DC output plug to the
wheelchair charging receptacle. Do not connect
the DC plug unless the "POWER" switch is in
the "OFF" position.
5.
Move the "POWER" switch to "ON" and the RED
and GREEN lights will come on steady for a few
seconds to test the light. If the lights do not
come on, either the AC cord is not plugged in or
the AC outlet is not live. Test for a live AC outlet
by connecting a suitable household appliance
into the specific outlet.
WARNING: CHARGER IS NOT TO BE USED
WHILE THE EQUIPMENT IS OPERATING.
ATTENTION! Ne pas utiliser le charger
pendant que l'equipment est en marche.
WARNING: LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
GENERATE GASES WHICH CAN BE EXPLOSIVE.
TO PREVENT ARCING OR BURNING NEAR
BATTERIES, DO NOT DISCONNECT DC
CHARGING CORD FROM BATTERIES WHEN
THE CHARGER IS OPERATING. IF THE CHARGE
CYCLE MUST BE INTERRUPTED, MOVE THE
"POWER" SWITCH TO "OFF", AND
DISCONNECT THE CHARGER POWER SUPPLY
CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE DC
OUTPUT CORD FROM THE BATTERIES. KEEP
SPARKS, FLAME, AND SMOKING MATERIALS
AWAY FROM BATTERIES.
WARNING: ALWAYS SHIELD EYES WHEN
WORKING NEAR BATTERIES. DO NOT PUT
WRENCHES OR OTHER METAL OBJECTS
ACROSS BATTERY TERMINAL OR BATTERY
TOP. ARCING OR EXPLOSION OF THE
BATTERY CAN RESULT!
Charger will output power three to five (3-5)
seconds after turning switch "ON" as indicated
by the RED light turning off, the slow blinking
GREEN light (once per second), and a slight
transformer hum.
If both lights go off about five (5) seconds after
AC is applied, check to see if the DC plug is
correctly connected to the battery. If the DC
plug is connected properly, either an open circuit
exists in the wheelchair's internal circuitry or the
