8. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
This battery charger is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounded plug. The charger must be
grounded, to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The plug pins

Pins on plug of extension cord must be
the same number, size, and shape as
those of plug on charger.
Ensure that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
Wire size must be large enough for
the AC ampere rating of charger, as

30A Boost –
This setting may be used for
a quick charge, prior to using the engine
start setting. Do not use this setting to
fully charge your battery.
Engine Start –
Provides additional amps
for cranking an engine with a weak or run-
down battery. Always use in combination
with a battery.
AMMETER
The ammeter gives a reading of the Amp
draw by the battery from the charger.
When a fully discharged battery is
connected to the charger, the ammeter
will read the maximum output rating
of the charger, either 2, 6 or 10 Amps,
depending on the Amp selection. The
charge current will gradually taper down
