REPLACING
THE FUSE
The DC charger’s fuse
blows if you connect its
clamps to the wrong battery
terminals. This protects the
charger, the battery pack,
and your vehicle’s electrical
system. We recommend
that you keep some spare
7-amp, 1
1
/
4
-inch slow blow
fuses (such as Cat. No.
270-1029) with your charg-
er, in case the fuse blows.
Caution: Do not use a fuse
with ratings other than those
specified here. Doing so
might damage your charger.
If the
CHARGE
indicator
does not light or the charger
does not operate when you
turn it on, follow these steps
to check and replace the
fuse.
1. Disconnect and remove
the battery pack from
the charger.
2. Remove the DC
charger’s clamps from
your vehicle’s battery
(and chassis, if you con-
nected the black clamp
to it).
3. Push and twist the fuse
holder’s ends together
until it springs apart. If
the fuse is blown,
replace it with an identi-
cally rated 7-amp fuse.
Note: Blown fuses usu-
ally are discolored or
have a broken center
wire.
4. Reassemble the fuse
holder by pushing and
twisting its ends
together.
