CHARGER CARE & MAINTENANCE
CAUTION – Make sure charger is
unplugged from electrical outlet
before performing any
maintenance.
A minimum amount of care can keep
your battery charger working and
looking good for years.
• Clean the clamps after each use.
Wipe off any battery fluid that may
have come in contact with the
clamps to prevent corrosion. Battery
fluid may be neutralized with a
solution of water and baking soda.
• Once a year, apply some grease to
the exposed wires on the ends of
the cables where the clamp is
connected to prevent corrosion.
• If needed, the case may be wiped
clean with a soft cloth.
There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
For information concerning use,
applications, or service, call Griot's
Garage at (800)345-5789.
• If ammeter reads zero, the
internal circuit breaker may have
tripped. Wait six to seven
minutes. The circuit breaker will
reset automatically and the
ammeter needle will again
register amperage. Charge
battery for another 10 to 20
minutes and attempt to start the
engine again.
• If after several attempts, the
engine still won’t start, there may
be a problem with the engine that
will need to be corrected before it
can be started or the battery may
not be capable of accepting a
charge and will need to
be replaced.
• Verify that the vehicle’s battery
cables are in good condition and
properly connected to the battery.
