P.2
hood, door or moving engine part.
6.2 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and any other
parts that can cause injury to persons.
6.3 Check polarity of battery posts
POSITIVE (POS.,P,+)
post usually has larger diameter than
NEGATIVE -
(NEG.,N,-).
6.4 Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected)
to chassis. If negative post is grounded (as in most
vehicles), see paragraph
6.5
. If positive post is grounded,
see paragraph
6.6
.
6.5 For negative-grounded vehicle, first connect
POSITIVE
(RED)
clip from charger to
POSITIVE (POS.,P,+)
ungrounded post of battery. Then connect
NEGATIVE
(BLACK)
terminal to vehicle chassis or engine block
away from battery.
6.6 For positive-grounded vehicle, connect
NEGATIVE
(BLACK)
clip from charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG.,N,-)
ungrounded post of battery. Connect
POSITIVE (RED)
clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery
keeping the battery terminal well-removed therefrom.
6.7 Do not connect any charger clips to carburetor, fuel lines,
or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.8 When disconnecting charger, turn switches (if supplied)
to off, disconnect charger from AC power, remove clip
from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery
terminal. See operating instructions for length of charge
information.
6.9 Make sure the 6V/12V select switch position is correct.
Do not select 12V position to charge a 6V Battery. Do not
select 6V position to charge a 12V Battery.
7.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS
OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
7.1 Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS.,P,+)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG.,N,-) post. Some batteries are
equipped with 'Wing- Nut' terminals allowing for easy
placement of the terminals to these posts.
7.2 Attach at least a 24-inch long 18-gauge (AWG) insulated
battery cable to
NEGATIVE (NEG.,N,-)
battery post.
7.3 Connect
POSITIVE (RED)
charger terminal to
POSITIVE
(POS.,P,+)
post of battery.
7.4 Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from
battery as possible - then connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK)
terminal to free end of cable.
7.5 Do not face battery when making final connection.
7.6 When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse
sequence of connecting procedure and break first
connection while as far away from battery as practical
7.7 A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged
on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
7.8 Place select switch in 6V position to charge a 6V Battery.
7.9 Place select switch in 12V position to charge 12V
Battery.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once the connection instructions have been followed,
the
'A.C. POWER' Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.) lights
when A.C. Power is present. A Red Light is present in
12V charge mode, a yellow Light is present in 6V charge
mode, The Yellow 'CHARGING' L.E.D.
lights to indicate
‘
Charging Mode
’
and that a proper connection to the
battery has been made. The battery charges to
approximately
14.4Vdc in 12V charge mode, or 7.2Vdc
in 6V charge mode,
and then transitions into the
‘
Float
Mode
’
where
the white 'FLOAT' L.E.D. turns GREEN
and the regulating voltage reduces to a lower level. The
Float Mode allows the charger to effectively be left
connected to your batteries, over the course of a season,
without overcharging your batteries, and maintains the
full charge on your batteries. A regular, periodic check on
your charging system, if left unattended and powered, is
still recommended (just as you would with any electrical
appliance). The
‘
Float Mode
’
also contains a special
charging waveform, that pulses power into your batteries,
and helps to peak the power into your battery. Also, while
in this mode, if the charger senses a load that has
activated, the charger recycles to the
‘
Charging Mode
’
to start charging again, up to the
14.4Vdc level in 12V
charge mode or 7.2V level in 6V charge mode.

PROTECTION DEVICES AND MEASURES
9.1
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The charger employs the use of a
‘
Solid State Circuit
Interrupter
’
that opens under severe overload. This
condition may occur if attempting to charge any severely
discharged or heavily sulfated battery. Once the
Interrupter opens,
the charger will stop charging for a
short period and then resume charging automatically
and the yellow. 'CHARGING' L.E.D. will be OFF, until
charging resumes.
Overloading could be due to an
external load, remove the load condition prior to
attempting to recharge the battery.
9.2
REVERSE BATTERY / OVERLOAD CONDITION.
The charger has reverse battery and short circuit
protection. If a reverse battery condition
exists (the white
'FLOAT' L.E.D. will turn RED,
only, while output leads
are connected backwards), simply unplug charger from
AC power and properly remake the connections as
described in this manual.
10. MAINTENANCE
Store in clean, dry place. Occasionally clean the case
and
the
cords
with
a
dry
cloth.
