CHARGING & ENGINE START INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 – CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Prior to charging the battery, remove the vent caps and check the electrolyte level. (Not required on sealed &
maintenance free batteries). The electrolyte should be 6mm (1/4”) above the battery’s plates. If low, top up the
electrolyte with distilled water to the correct level and refit the vent caps.
STEP 2 – SET BATTERY VOLTAGE (HDBC33 only)
The positive DC charging lead is fitted with a ring terminal. To select or change the battery voltage, connect
the positive DC charging lead to the terminal la12V or +24V as required. Always ensure the terminal
is firmly secured by tightening the plastic knob by hand.
STEP 3 – CONNECT TO BATTERY
There are two options for connecting to battery.
Step 3A – Connecting to a battery that is out of the vehicle
Step 3B – Connecting to a battery fitted to a vehicle
STEP 3A – BATTERY OUT OF VEHICLE
Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery post.
Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Negative (-) battery post.
STEP 3B – BATTERY IN VEHICLE
Determine if the vehicle is Positively (+) or Negatively (-) earthed. Negatively earthed vehicles have a cable
(usually black) from the Negative battery terminal to the vehicle’s chassis.
Negatively earthed (Most Vehicles)
Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery terminal.
Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the vehicle’s chassis away from the fuel line or
moving parts.
