IMPORTANT:

  Although  the  charger  is  constructed  of 

materials and in a manner which make it highly resistive 

to the corrosive effects of moisture in the environment, the 

charger is not waterproof. Do not mount the charger where 

there is a possibility of water entering the unit. Evidence 

of water entry into the charger will void the warranty.

C) Mounting

Charger  only  (not  using  optional  Slide-in  Bracket 

Assembly.)

 

The charger may be mounted on either a metal or non-

metal surface. You will require four (4) screws (wood or 

machine screws, depending on mounting surface) with 

washers, sized for ¼”  holes, located on the tab end panel. 

For extreme vibration installations, use optional High-Vibe  

Mounting Kit (model Kit-L).

Optional Slide-In Bracket

For installation in hard to access locations such as under  

a seat or in storage compartments, an optional “slide-in” 

bracket assembly is available (P/N: 444-52790-0), which 

permits total front access only removal and re-installation. 

The  system  consists  of  a  base  mounting  plate  which  is 

secured to the vehicle, and a slide plate which attaches 

to the bottom plate of the battery charger. This slide plate 

has pins that slide in and engage with the base mounting 

and are secured in place by front panel screws. The slide-in 

plate can be oriented to the rear of the assembly or facing 

out, at installers discretion. Reference 

Figure 2

Slide-in and Lock Mounting System Description

The Slide-in and Lock mounting plate system is designed 

to ease installation and removal of the EV-40 charger in 

hard to access areas such as under seats and in small 

compartments:

• Charger is secured to the slide-in and lock plate 

   via 4 stud mounts.

   Note charger can be oriented either direction      

   on the plate to meet desired location of front 

   panel wiring.

• The Vehicle mounting bracket is secured in its    

   desired location via 6 fasteners.

• Charger with plate attached the slides on to the 

   vehicle mounting bracket and is captured via 

   two insertion pins at one end and secured in 

   place via stainless steel fasteners and compression 

   angle bracket at other end. 

Kick Plate

To protect wiring on the charger end panel, an optional 

Kick Plate is available, (P/N: 444-5280-0)

It installs using the front end panel screws. Loosen the two 

(2) screws shown in 

Figure 3

, and attach the kick plate to 

the battery charger case. Re-tighten screws.

Figure 3: Kick Plate

D) DC Output Wiring To Battery

Secure battery wiring to the output terminal block observing 

proper  polarity  and  wire  gauge  per  the  table  on  the 

following page. Strip wires 1/2”, insert in barrel terminal 

and secure in place by tightening the screw. Note, wire 

terminals are not necessary. See 

Figure 4
