1. Note the polarity of the battery posts

by checking the identification marks
on the battery: POSITIVE (POS, P or
+) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N or -). The
positive post is usually larger than
the negative post.

2. Attach at least a 24-inch-long, 6-

gauge (AWG), insulated battery
cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N or -)
battery post. Rock and twist the
clamp back and forth to be sure a
solid electrical connection is made.

3. Connect the red (POSITIVE) output

clamp to the POSITIVE battery post.
Rock and twist the clamp back and
forth to be sure a solid electrical
connection is made.

4. Position yourself as far away from

the battery as possible, and then
connect the black (NEGATIVE)
output clamp to the free end of the
cable.

5. Plug the power cord into an AC

outlet. The charger will be set to the
default state of 2A charge rate and
REGULAR battery type (tester).

6. Press the appropriate control buttons

to select the desired charge rate and
battery type. Within a few seconds,
the CHARGING (yellow) LED should
light and the charging process should
start. If the CHECK (red) LED is on,
check for correct cable connections.

7. To disconnect the Charger, unplug its

power cord before attempting to
disconnect the charger clamps. Then,
standing away from the battery,
remove the output clamp from the

CHARGING BATTERY REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE:

NEGATIVE battery post. Finally,
remove the output clamp from the
POSITIVE battery post.

8. Clean and store the charger in a dry

location.

Your battery charger can be used to
jump start your car if the battery is low.
Follow these instructions on how to use
the ENGINE START feature.

tions and precautions when charging
your battery. Wear complete eye
protection and clothing protection.
Charge your battery in a well-ventilated
area.

IMPORTANT: 

Using the ENGINE

START feature WITHOUT a battery
installed in the vehicle could cause
damage to the vehicle’s electrical
system.

1. With the charger plugged in and

connected to the battery of the
vehicle, set the CHARGE RATE to
60A START. Only the 60A START
and CHARGING LEDs (both yellow)
should be lit.

2. Crank the engine for no more than 8

seconds. If engine does not start,
wait 2 minutes before cranking again.

3. After the engine starts, unplug the

power cord before disconnecting the
output clamps from the battery.

4. Clean and store the charger in a dry

location.
