VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
WARNING
The front panel switch has two settings, marked
12V and 16V, with OFF in the center.
The switch must be set to 12 Volts when charging 12 Volt
(SIX CELL) batteries.
The switch must be set to 16 Volts ONLY when charging
16 Volt (EIGHT CELL) batteries.
Sixteen Volt (Eight Cell) batteries are special high performance
batteries used in racing applications only, which need a higher
voltage recharge. They are identified as 16 Volts on the battery
label, and have eight cell caps on top of the battery.
Setting the charger to 16 Volts
, when connected to
the "12-Volt Post" on a three terminal 16 Volt battery, will apply
excessive voltage to the battery cells and to the vehicle
electrical system, and may result in emission of explosive
gasses, overheating and damage to the vehicle electrical system.
Damage caused by incorrect setting of the Voltage is not covered
under the warranty, so check which type of battery is connected
before using the charger. If in any doubt, use only the 12 Volt
setting.
CHARGER LOCATION
1. Locate charger as far away from battery as charging cables
will permit.
2. Never place charger above battery being charged; gasses
from battery will corrode and damage charger.
3. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
specific gravity or filling battery.
4. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
5. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
