1.3. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the charger as well as the potential hazards. Also refer to the vehicle
manufacturer’s hand book.
IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Ensure the charger is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit, contact your Sealey Dealer.
Use the charger in the upright position only and ensure it is placed on a stable surface which will adequately support its weight.
Ensure the charger is disconnected from the mains supply before attaching/detaching the power clamps to/from the battery.
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
Ensure the output of the charger is the same voltage as the battery.
If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power clamps. If
necessary top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions (apply the personal safety
precautions described in part 1.2).
If the charger receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty clean them before attaching the power clamps.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
DO NOT
smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.
DO NOT
dis-assemble the charger for any reason. The charger must only be checked by qualified service personnel.
DO NOT
try to charge a non-rechargeable battery.
DO NOT
try to start engine when charger is connected to battery.
DO NOT
try to charge battery if battery fluid is frozen.
WARNING!
To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion
DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow
them to touch the battery terminals.
DO NOT
allow power clamps to touch each other or to make contact with any metallic part of the vehicle.
DO NOT
cross connect power leads from charger to battery. Ensure positive (+/RED) is to positive and negative (-/BLACK) is to negative.
DO NOT
pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.
DO NOT
use the charger outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and
DO NOT
operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
DO NOT
use charger inside vehicle or inside engine compartment.
Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases, and do not cover or obstruct charger ventilation louvres.
DO NOT
use the charger for a task for which it is not designed.
WARNING!
DO NOT simultaneously charge batteries of different capacities or discharge levels.
WARNING!
If a fuse blows, ensure it is replaced with an identical fuse type and rating.
This charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physiclal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
When not in use, store the charger carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.
2. INTRODUCTION
3. SPECIFICATIONS
Fully automatic microprocessor controlled battery chargers and maintainers featuring patented Speed Charge technology that actively
monitors the charge acceptance and constantly modifies the charge output. These models charge the battery up to 3 times faster than
conventional battery chargers without damaging the battery. These chargers have heavy-duty sturdy cases, no-nonsense controls, bright, clear,
easy-to-read LED status lights, wipe clean touch pad controls and LED progress display screens. Battery pre-sets include conventional,
AGM/Gel, leisure and stop/start batteries. The charge rate selector allows the operator to override the standard charge rate and choose a soft-
start programme for very cold batteries which also enables the charging and maintenance of small batteries. Both models have a de-sulphating
mode enabling deeply discharged batteries to be charged. Fully automatic float mode ensures that the battery is kept fully charged and ready
to use, for extended periods of time. Automatic voltage detection determines if the charger is connected to a 6V or 12V battery. Reverse polarity
protection and automatic shut-off are included as standard.
