STEP 2 - Connecting the battery charger to your battery
•
If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
- Connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal to the (+) battery terminal.
- Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal to the (-) battery terminal.
•
If the battery is still in the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is positively or negatively earthed.
If Negatively Earthed (Most Common) – FIRST Connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or optional
ring terminal lead to the (+) battery terminal and then connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or
optional ring terminal lead to the vehicle’s chassis. DO NOT connect the Black (-) lead to the
carburettor or fuel lines.
If Positively Earthed – FIRST Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal lead
to the (-) battery terminal and then connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal
lead to the vehicle’s chassis. DO NOT connect the Red (+) lead to the carburettor or fuel lines.
STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (240Vac)
•
The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure the correct Battery Type and your desired Charge Rate is
selected to suit your battery by pressing the Select Buttons within the first 5 minutes of charg-
ing. For Example do not charge a Gel Battery on the Calcium Battery Type setting as this may
damage your battery and / or reduce your battery life.
Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it’s likely that
the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed.
