OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGING A BATTERY
Remove the battery from the vehicle.
Remove the battery caps to allow any excess gas to escape and to prevent the
case bursting.
Check the battery liquid and top up if required.
Connect the + (red) lead to the correct voltage terminal on the charger de-
pending on the voltage of the battery to be charged.
Put the red clamp of the charger to the + terminal on the battery and the black
clamp to the - terminal on the battery and confirm that connection is correct.
After both clamps are attached to the battery, slightly rotate it so as to remove
any dirt or oxidization, this will ensure a good contact.
Select charge (setting 1 slow or 2 medium) or boost charge (maximum) on the
switch, (boost charge is for a maximum of 1 hour, after 1 hour you must manually
turn off boost charge or you will damage the charger/battery).
The battery charger should then be connected to the mains supply and switched
on.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the battery connected to the charger once the charge
has finished, this may cause excessive heating of the cells and the electrolyte to
“boil”. If this happens during charging select a lower setting or stop the charge.
Danger / Caution:
Do not touch the positive clamp (red) with the negative clamp
(black) to check the battery charger output – this may cause the internal fuse to
blow or the mains fuse to blow.
Important:
The boost charge is not designed to jump start a car, doing so
will damage the charger/battery and void any warranty you may have.
Note:
Never exceed the boost charge setting;
maximum 1 hour charge,
after which
if required the battery charger should be switched to normal charge or turned off so
it can cool down for a few hours. Failure to adhere to this will void your warranty.
Charge
Setting 1: Slow charge rate.
Setting 2: Medium charge rate.
Boost Charge
Maximum charge rate, boost charge should only be used for a
maximum of 1 hour, after which if required the battery charger
should be switched to normal charge or turned off so it can cool
down for a few hours (when boost charge is selected it will override
the charge settings).
