Ensure the mains supply to the battery charger is off.
Check battery liquid and top up if required.
Connect the + (red) lead to the correct voltage terminal on the charger de-
pending on the voltage of the vehicle to be started.
Connect the lead to the battery first (no). The other connection is to be
made to the chassis as far away as practical from the battery and fuel line (a
spark can be generated when connecting the second clamp which can ignite
battery or fuel gases).
Once the clamp is attached to the battery, slightly rotate it so as to remove any
dirt or oxidization, this will ensure a good contact.
Select charge (setting 1 slow or 2 medium) or boost charge (maximum) on the
switch, (boost charge is for a maximum of 1 hour, after 1 hour you must manually
turn off boost charge or you will damage the charger/battery/car).
Note:
The battery clamp connected to the chassis should be removed
first. The other clamp connection can then be removed from the battery
terminal.
Note:
The battery terminal not connected to the chassis has to be connected
first. The other connection is to be made to the chassis, remote from the bat-
tery and fuel line.
Important:
Check with the manufacturer of the vehicle that the battery
can be charged whilst still connected to avoid any unwanted damage to
the vehicle.
Danger:
The engine must not be running whilst the battery charger is
charging the battery.
CHARGING A BATTERY ON A VEHICLE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Note:
Never exceed the boost charge setting;
maximum 1 hour charge,
after which
if required the battery charger should be switched to normal charge or turned off so
it can cool down for a few hours. Failure to adhere to this will void your warranty.
The battery charger should then be connected to the mains supply and switched
on.
Once the battery on the vehicle has charged, remove the clamps from the bat-
tery / vehicle - chassis connection first followed by the battery connection.
