11. CALCULATING CHARGE TIME
Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to bring a battery
to full charge. First, identify where your battery fits into the chart.
NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Find your battery’s rating on the following chart and note the charge time given for
each charger setting. The times given are for batteries with a 50 percent charge prior to
recharging. Add more time for severely discharged batteries.

12. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
12.1
Before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the battery charger (see sections
5.8 and 6.7).
12.2
After use, unplug the charger and use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt
or oil from the terminals, cords, and the charger case.
12.3
After every 100 hours or whenever you see dust accumulating on
the fan blades, you should clean both fans using compressed air
(as shown). NOTE: Use the compressed air on the fan blades only.
Do not blow dirt into the fan shaft or bearing. These fans push a lot
of air and are precision balanced. Excessive dirt and grime buildup
will cause the fan to be unbalanced and wear out quickly. If the fans
fail, the charger may overheat and the thermal protection of the
charger will shut it down.
12.4
Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working condition,
including the plastic boots on the battery clips.
12.5
Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable parts.
13. MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
13.1
If the charger is moved around the shop or transported to another location, take care to
avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and charger. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or property damage. Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on
or around metal, or clipped to cables.
13.2
Store the charger unplugged. The cord will still conduct electricity until it is unplugged from
the outlet.
13.3
Store inside, in a dry, cool place (unless you’re using an on-board marine charger).
