DANGER.
Before using an adapter as illustrated, be certain that the center screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid
ear or lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace the
original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure the adapter ear or lug to the outlet cover plate and make ground
connection to grounded outlet.
NOTE: USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO NOT
USE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
21.
NOTE: SIDE TERMINAL TO BE USED IN POSITIVE CLAMP ONLY!
For instructions for NEGATIVE clamp attachment
refer to section 18f or 18g.
Storage position
Will not get lost. Always ready to use.
Extended position
Note: Pressure, when handle is squeezed,
holds adapter firm. Will not slip back.
Thrust on terminal
Note: Clamp is released and spring tension
holds adapter firm.

LENGTH OF CHARGE
a.
Test the battery for state of charge. Do not charge if it is over 75% charged or the battery is determined to be defective.
b.
Set beginning amps charge rate for size of battery and state of charge per charts
c.
Charge for length of time per charge,
d.
Discontinue charge when the specific gravity of electrolyte reaches 1.260 or above. A temperature compensating hydrometer should be
used for this reading. Discontinue charge if the battery begins to gas excessively or if the temperature of the electrolyte reaches
approximately 125
°
F. Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging results in excessive water loss and eventual damage to the battery.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Attach the handle to the charger using the four screws provided. Attach the front leg to the base with the four
hex head screws provided. To attach wheels and axle to the base, tap one axle nut onto the axle with a
hammer, slide one wheel onto the axle. Push the axle through the base, place wheel on opposite side. Tap
axle nut onto the axle with a hammer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
- This battery charger must be fully assembled before operating. Failure to do so may result in risk
of injury.
USE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL:
The MINUTES CHARGE timer has an OFF position, a CONTINUOUS CHARGE position
and a timed charge range from 0 to 90 minutes.
a.
OFF
- Always make sure the timer is in the OFF position before connecting or
disconnecting the clamps from the battery. The charger will not charge with the timer in
this position.
b.
CONTINUOUS CHARGE
- This position is used for slow charging or parallel charging and will not turn the charger
off. Do not use this position for fast charging.
c.
0 to 90 MINUTES TIMED CHARGE
- The timer will automatically turn the charger off at the end of the pre-set
charging time. Turn the timer past 20 before setting the desired time.
d.
VOLTS/AMPS CHARGE SWITCHES
- These switches are used to regulate the output voltage and current of the
battery charger.
