Do not touch battery terminals or any exposed electrical parts. Contact
with battery terminals or other exposed electrical parts may cause an
electric shock. Remove all watches, rings, and jewelry to avoid arcing and
electric shock.
Initial Installation
Only trained technicians with knowledge of the equipment and batteries the charger will be
used with should install the charger.
Ensure that the charger is the correct type and voltage for the battery pack to be charged. This
charger is only to be used with lead acid type flooded or Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) type
batteries only.
Determine if the batteries to be charged are flooded or Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) lead acid
type. For AGM type batteries the yellow wire loop at the back of the charger should be cut and
the wire ends taped. This selects the charging profile for the AGM type batteries.
Wire the output (separate red and black wires) of the charger to the battery. For on-board or
other installations the charger can remain permanently connected to the battery. Connect the
red wire to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) terminal of the battery. Connect the black wire to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) terminal. Ensure that any terminals used are capable of carrying 15
amperes, that all crimp connections are good, and that the connections are clean and tight.
Operation
WARNING:
There could be a spark during charging. Be careful when using fuels,
solvents or other flammables near the charger or batteries. An explosion may result
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of an electric shock, connect only to a properly
grounded single phase (3wire) outlet. Electric shock hazard may cause serious injury
or death.
CAUTION: Use of an incorrect charger for the type of battery or battery voltage
can result in battery explosion and serious injury and property damage.
