Frayed or broken cables.

Loose or over-tightened battery hold-down.

Correct size and capacity for vehicle.

2. Set Charging Mode Switch to:

Standard, or

Fleet.

3. Set Standard or Fleet Voltage Range switch. Determine

battery voltage from vehicle owner's manual or battery
instructions. Use:

6 LO or 6 HI (6 volt battery),

12 LO or 12HI (12 volt battery),

18 LO or 18HI (combination of 6 volt and 12 volt), or

24 LO or 24HI (combination of 6 volt and 12 volt).

4. Measure and record battery state of charge.

Specific gravity.

Open circuit voltage.

State of charge is used in step 10 to determine charge
time.

5. Verify AC power cord is disconnected from outlet and

Length of Charge Timer is set to OFF.

6. Connect charger cables to battery and power cord to

outlet. For additional information refer to 

Important

Safety Instructions–Charging Instructions.

Never alter AC cord or plug provided. If it will not
