Owner’s Guide
Disconnect the DC supply before making or breaking the connections to the battery while
charging. Do not open or disassemble charger. Do not operate charger if the AC supply cord is
damaged or if the charger has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way – refer all repair work to qualified personnel. Not for use by children.
Use charger ONLY on 48 volt battery systems. Other usage may cause personal injury and
damage. Lead acid batteries may generate explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away from batteries. Provide adequate ventilation
during charging. Never charge a frozen battery. Study all battery manufacturers’ specific pre-
cautions such as recommended rates of charge and removing or not removing cell caps while
charging. Portable chargers must be mounted on a platform above the ground or in such a man-
ner as to permit the maximum air flow underneath and around the charger.
Portable chargers are shipped with the vehicles. Prior to vehicle or charger operation, the charger must be removed and
mounted on a platform or wall above the ground to permit maximum air flow around and underneath the charger. A dedicated
circuit is required for the charger. Refer to the charger manual for appropriate circuit protection. For optimum performance
and shortest charge times, place the charger in an area with adequate ventilation. The charger should also be placed in an
area that will be relatively free of dirt, mud, or dust since accumulations within the fins of the charger will reduce their heat-dis-
sipating qualities. Optimal cooling also occurs when the charger is placed on a horizontal surface with the fins vertical. More
airflow from below the charger will help cool the fins, so placement above open areas or areas with cut-outs for airflow is desir-
able. If the charger is operated in an outdoor location, rain and sun protection must be provided. The charger may get hot dur-
ing operation and must be placed such that risk of contact by people is reduced. The charger may be mounted on a wall or
shelf using #10-M5 screws. The charger’s status display must be visible to the user.
Fig. 3 Charger Installation
Looping the DC cord through the steering wheel when charging serves as a good reminder to store the cord out of the way
when finished with charging. The DC plug can be damaged by driving over or catching the cord on the vehicle when driving
away.
An ungrounded electrical device may become a physical hazard that could result in an electri-
cal shock or electrocution.
Using the Charger
The charger may remain plugged into the AC outlet when not in use. To charge the vehicle refer to the instruction labels on
the charger. Insert the polarized DC plug completely into the vehicle receptacle. The charger will automatically start a few
seconds after the plug is in place. The charger will automatically stop when the batteries are fully charged and the DC plug
can be removed to permit use of the vehicle.
