Replaceable liquid electrolyte deep-cycle batteries
gave removable cell caps. Water electrolyzed by
discharging and charging the battery is replaced
through these openings.
Gel cell and sealed deep-cycle, maintenance free
batteries are generally distinguished by non-
removable cell caps. The physical appearance of
the battery case is frequently the same as that of a
replacement liquid electrolyte battery though the cell
caps are generally not removable.
Refer to the battery manufacturer's information panel
on the battery case to determine the type battery
you have. If the information panel is missing or not
legible, do not use the battery. Refer to your dealer
if you do not understand what type battery you are
using and have them set the BATTERY TYPE switch
accordingly.
The BATTERY TYPE switch is a two-position slide
switch visible at the opening in the front panel of the
electronic timer assembly. Slide the switch from one
setting to the other through the opening. Take care
not to damage the switch when moving it to the
desired setting.

NORMAL OPERATION
Instructions printed on cover of charger are for
daily reference.
1.
Connect charger DC output cord to the
wheelchair charging receptacle. Do not connect
the DC plug unless the Power switch is in the
"OFF" position and the power supply cord is
disconnected.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE BATTERY
PACK IS A 24-VOLT, 12-CELL, SERIES
CONNECTED, 28-85 AMP-HOUR (20 HR. RATE),
RECHARGEABLE DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY
SYSTEM. THE "GEL CELL AND SEALED DEEP-
CYCLE BATTERY" SETTING CHARGES TO A
MAXIMUM ON-CHARGE VOLTAGE OF 2.37
VOLTS PER CELL. THE "REPLACEABLE
ELECTROLYTE DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY"
SETTING HAS AN ON-CHARGE VOLTAGE OF AT
LEAST 2.50 VOLTS PER CELL. VISUALLY
CHECK THAT THE BATTERY TYPE SWITCH IS
SET CORRECTLY FOR THE TYPE BATTERY
YOU ARE USING.
CAUTION: MANY DC PLUGS DO NOT HAVE
A STANDARDIZED WIRING PATTERN. VERIFY
THAT THE CHARGER PLUG WIRING PATTERN
MATCHES THE EQUIPMENT BEING CHARGED
BEFORE CONNECTING. DAMAGE MAY RESULT
IF A PLUG THAT IS WIRED FOR OTHER
APPLICATIONS IS USED ON YOUR EQUIPMENT.
CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
DANGER: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT TOUCH UNINSULATED PARTS OF THE
CHARGER DC OUTPUT CONNECTOR, BATTERY
CONNECTOR, OR BATTERY TERMINALS. MAKE
SURE ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ARE IN
GOOD WORKING CONDITION. DO NOT USE
CONNECTORS THAT ARE CRACKED,
CORRODED OR DO NOT MAKE ADEQUATE
ELECTRICAL CONTACT. USE OF A DAMAGED
OR DEFECTIVE CONNECTOR MAY RESULT IN A
RISK OF OVERHEATING OR ELECTRIC SHOCK.
2.
Connect the power supply cord to a properly
grounded, 115 volt, 60 Hertz single-phase outlet.
3.
Move the POWER switch to "AUTO". The
ammeter needle may bounce initially and the
transformer should hum slightly.
WARNING: LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
GENERATE GASES WHICH CAN BE EXPLOSIVE.
TO PREVENT ARCING OR BURNING NEAR
BATTERIES, DO NOT DISCONNECT DC
CHARGING CORD FROM BATTERIES WHEN
THE CHARGER IS OPERATING. IF THE CHARGE
CYCLE MUST BE INTERRUPTED, MOVE THE
POWER SWITCH TO "OFF", AND DISCONNECT
THE CHARGER POWER SUPPLY CORD BEFORE
DISCONNECTING THE DC OUTPUT CORD FROM
THE BATTERIES. KEEP SPARKS, FLAME, AND
SMOKING MATERIALS AWAY FROM
BATTERIES.
