If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
- Connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or ring terminal to the (+) battery terminal.
- Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or ring terminal to the (-) battery terminal.
Note: The Temperature Sensor should be connected to the Negative Battery terminal.

If the battery is still in the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is positively or negatively earthed.
If Negatively Earthed (Most Common) – FIRST Connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or ring
terminal lead to the (+) battery terminal and then connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or ring
terminal lead to the vehicle’s chassis. DO NOT connect the Black (-) lead to the carburettor or
fuel lines.
•
If Positively Earthed – FIRST Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or ring terminal lead to the
(-) battery terminal and then connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or ring terminal lead to the
vehicle’s chassis. DO NOT connect the Red (+) lead to the carburettor or fuel lines.
STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (220-240Vac)

The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure the correct Battery Type and your desired Charge Rate is
selected to suit your battery by pressing the Select Buttons within the first 5 minutes of charg-
ing. For Example do not charge a Gel Battery on the Calcium Battery Type setting as this may
damage your battery and / or reduce your battery life.
Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it’s likely that
the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed.
