OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that all installation and operating instructions and safety
precautions are understood and carefully followed by anyone
installing or using the charger. Follow the steps outlined in
“Important Safety Instructions” at the front of this manual.
Charge Rate Selection
After charger clamps are correctly connected, plug the charger into a 120 volt AC
outlet. The power indicator light will light. Select the proper charge current rate
based on battery size.
WARNING
If FAULT indicator lights, the connection to the battery terminals is bad.
Follow the steps outlined in “Important Safety Instructions” at the front
of this manual.
If Rev. Polarity indicator also lights, the RED (POSITIVE) and BLACK (NEG-
ATIVE) clamps are incorrectly connected to battery terminals. Follow the
steps outlined in “Important Safety Instructions” at the front of this
manual.
Charging the Battery
1. Press Charge Rate Selector 2A/4A/6A button once to begin charging at the
2 amp rate; the unit sounds a beep and the charging current LED lights.
2. Pressing the Charge Rate Selector 2A/4A/6A button again advances charging
rate to 4 amps, and pressing once more advances charging rate to 6 amps.
(Pressing the button again will turn OFF the charger output.) This selection and
actual battery charge rate are monitored by the microprocessor and the unit
will stop charging if the selected rate is too fast or too slow for battery size or
condition.
As the battery nears full charge capacity, the unit’s output will automatically
drop to a lower charge rate.
3. The FUL LED lights when the battery is fully charged.
4. Disconnect the AC power cord first, then the NEGATIVE clamp, and finally the
POSITIVE clamp.
Automatic Float Charging
Automatic Float Charging is ideal for maintaining a fully charged battery.
1. Keep the 120 volt AC power and battery connected after battery is fully
charged.
2. The charger monitors the battery and tops it off as needed.
Full –
Lights when charging is complete.
Fault –
Lights when the battery is not connected properly or not chargeable.
Rev. (Reverse Polarity) –
Lights when clamps are incorrectly connected to
battery terminals.
Below the Charge Rate LEDs are a series of four LEDs that light on the following
conditions:

are monitored by the microprocessor and the unit will stop charging if the rate is
too fast or too slow for battery size or condition.
