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 in the rectangular opening on the front
of the charger. Using a small screwdriver, 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.
Set "BATTERY TYPE" switch to the proper style
of battery to be charged.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE BATTERY
PACK IS A 24-VOLT, 12 CELL, SERIES
CONNECTED, 50-120 AMP-HOUR (20 HR. RATE),
AND RECHARGEABLE DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY
SYSTEM. THE "GEL CELL AND SEALED DEEP-
CYCLE BATTERY" SETTING CHARGES TO A
MAXIMUM ON-CHARGE VOLTAGE OF 2.38
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 OF BATTERY
YOU ARE USING.
DANGER: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL
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.
Move the "POWER" switch to "OFF" position.
3.
Connect the power supply cord to a properly
grounded single-phase outlet that matches the
voltage setting on the AC voltage selector
switch.
4.
Connect charger's DC output plug to the
equipment-charging receptacle. Do not connect
the DC plug unless the "POWER" switch is in
the "OFF" position.
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 THE EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
5.
Move the "POWER" switch to "ON" and the RED
and GREEN lights will come on steady for a few
seconds to test the lights. If the lights do not
come on, either the AC cord is not plugged in or
the AC outlet is not live. Test for a live AC outlet
by connecting a suitable appliance into the
specific outlet.
WARNING: CHARGER IS NOT TO BE USED
WHILE THE EQUIPMENT IS OPERATING.
ATTENTION: Ne pas utiliser le charger
pendant que l'equipment est en marche.
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.
WARNING: ALWAYS SHIELD EYES WHEN
WORKING NEAR BATTERIES. DO NOT PUT
WRENCHES OR OTHER METAL OBJECTS
ACROSS BATTERY TERMINAL OR BATTERY
TOP. ARCING OR EXPLOSION OF THE
BATTERY CAN RESULT!
Charger will output power three to five (3-5)
seconds after turning switch "ON" as indicated
by the RED light turning off, the slow blinking
GREEN light (once per second), and a slight
transformer hum.
If both lights go off about five seconds after AC
is applied, check to see if the DC plug is
correctly connected to the battery. If the DC
plug is connected properly, either an open circuit
exists in the equipment's internal circuitry, or the
battery voltage is below seven (7) volts (see
Troubleshooting).
