STEP 2 - Pre charge check & electrolyte level check
•
Check the Battery Electrolyte levels (Not required on sealed & maintenance free batteries or
Lithium batteries).
If necessary, remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are halfway between
the upper and lower fill lines.
•
Check the battery voltage, type and Ah capacity to ensure the charger is compatible.
•
Ensure the battery is in a well ventilated area and the charger should be as far away from the
battery as the cables permit.
STEP 3 - Connecting the battery charger to your battery
If the battery is still
in the vehicle
, determine if the vehicle is positively or negatively earthed.
STEP 4 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (240Vac)
•
The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.
•
IMPORTANT
: Please double check and make sure the correct Battery Type and your desired
Charge Rate is selected to suit your battery once the unit is turned on as per STEP 1.
Note:
If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it’s likely that
the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed.
If the Battery is
out of the vehicle:
Connect the Red/Orange (+) Crocodile clip or
ring terminal to the positive (+) battery terminal.

terminal lead to the vehicle’s chassis or negative (-)
battery terminal. 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
negative (-) battery terminal and then connect
the Red/Orange (+) Crocodile clip or ring
