Note: Extension cords should be industrial grade/heavy duty UL approved and grounded. Check extension cord before use
for damage, bent prongs and cuts. Replace if damaged.
Connect the extension cord to the charger; then proceed to plug the extension cord to the GFCI protected (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Always remove the extension cord from the GFCI protected outlet first when charging is completed, followed by unplugging
the charger.
GENERAL OPERATION
Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID (lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel cell and AGM) battery only.
It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor
application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage to property.
Utiliser le chargeur pour charger une batterie au plomb uniquement. Ce chargeur n’est pas concu pour alimenter un réseau
électrique très basse tension ni pour charger des piles sèches. Le fait d’utiliser le charger des piles sèchespourait entrainer
l’éclatement des piles et causer des blessures ou des dommages.
DO NOT attempt to attach a charger to a battery pack if the output of the charger does not match the
battery pack voltage. Example: Model i-3625 is a 36 volt output charger and is only usable on 36
volt battery systems. Charger and battery damage can occur.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might cause a spark or
short-circuit a battery or other electrical part, possibly resulting in an explosion. If damaged,
contact PCS (
615.471.5300
).
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
Ne jamais charger une batterie gelée.
Assure that the area around your charger and batteries is properly ventilated. Connect your extension cord, with no AC Power
present, to the battery charger and proceed to plug your extension cord into a 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupt) outlet.
Risk of electrical shock! Do not touch uninsulated parts of the battery charger output connector,
battery connector, or battery terminals.
Once you plug in your PCS battery charging system, the charge cycle will begin automatically. State of charge will be
displayed by illumination of the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the battery status indicator located on the front of the unit.
DO NOT disconnect the DC output electrical cord from the battery receptacle when the charger is on.
The resulting arcing and burning of the plug and receptacle could cause the batteries to explode. If
the charger must be stopped, first disconnect the AC power supply cord from its outlet, then
disconnect the charger DC output plug from the battery receptacle.
We recommend that you leave your system plugged in. This will reduce sulfation on the lead plates of the batteries and allow
your PCS charging system to keep your batteries fully maintained and ready to perform at their best.
In order to reduce the risk of fire, use only on 230 VAC circuits provided with 30 Amperes Branch
Circuit Protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
Prendre connaissance des measures de précaution spécifiés par le fabricant de la batterie, p. ex., vérifier s’il faut enlever les
bouchons des cellules lors du chargement de la batterie, et les taux de chargement recommandés.
