Detailed Operation Instructions Model 12248
After carefully reading and understanding the Safety Instructions
contained in this manual (pages 3 to 7) and having evaluated
your battery as described in Qualifying Your Battery (pages 8 to
10) you are properly prepared to begin using your charger.
1.
Attach output cord of charger to either the Battery Clip(s)
Assembly (BCA) (supplied) or the Ring Terminal Assembly (RTA)
(supplied) depending on your preference. However never use

Never use either of these assemblies on any other charger
or for any other purpose such as improvised “jumper
cables”, etc.
Using the RTA on batteries remaining in their normal use location
(in same place they are regularly installed will normally prove the
safest and most convenient. If you have several applications you
may wish to purchase additional Ring Terminal Assemblies (RTA)
available from your dealer or VDC Electronics, Inc. directly.
Note: this assembly contains a 15 Amp automotive type fuse
and is replaceable should for any reason it were to blow.
Never replace this fuse with any type whose rating is higher
than 15 Amps, as seriously harmful results may occur.
2.
Identify the positive and negative posts or connections on
your battery, usually clearly designated with the polarity markings
of + (positive) and – (negative). If you have previously installed
the RTA referred to in 1. above, you need only to press the
connector plug of the charger’s output cord into the mating plug
of the RTA. Push firmly and do not leave any space between
them. Correct polarity and a good connection will be your reward.
Attach the
BCA
to the proper battery posts, clamps or screw
terminals, depending on type of battery.
ALWAYS connect the
negative (Black) clip to a metal grounding point (Negative
