7.
After inspecting the electrical cord to ensure it is undamaged, plug it
into the outlet.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to use the charger if the
cord appears to be spliced, altered, or damaged in any
way. Doing so may result in an electrical short, causing
damage to the vehicle, or electrical shock, causing
personal injury or death.
8.
If the battery leads are connected to the motor leads, firmly grasp
both connectors and pull apart to disconnect. Lay the motor leads to
one side (Fig. 5).
9.
Connect the battery leads to the charging connector.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect the charger to the motor
leads connector. Doing so may cause permanent damage
to the motor and the charger.
10. Depress the power switch to the “ON” position. This should cause
the “Power On” and “High Rate” indicator lights to appear.
11. After 4 hours of charging, the batteries will be charged to 90% of
their total capacity, and the “High Rate” indicator light will turn off.
24 hours of continuous charging is required to charge the batteries to
their full capacity, however.
CAUTION: The charger contains a built-in charge sen-
sor which automatically reduces the charge rate when
the batteries are fully charged to prevent overcharging.
Once fully charged, however, the batteries and charger
should not be left plugged into an electrical source any
longer than necessary.
NOTE: Recommended ambient temperature for charging is
between 34
°
and 100
°
F (2
°
- 38
°
C). The charger case will get very
warm to the touch during the high rate phase of the charge
cycle. This is normal. As the batteries become more fully
charged, the case temperature will drop.
