
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas
can be forcefully blown away using a non-metallic material like cardboard.

Inspect the receptacle found on the Equipment or Vehicle into which the charger
output cable connector is expected to mate into:
o
The receptacle must not be worn in any way. Also, carefully inspect
receptacle contacts for wearing, burn or pitting marks.
o
The receptacle contacts must be clean and free of any dirt, grime, grease,
liquids, or other contamination.
o
High power currents flow across the contacts between Charger Plug and
Vehicle Receptacle and can be a source of high heat when mating contact
surfaces are worn or dirty. Replace receptacle or charger plug, or both when
worn. It is also highly suggested to periodically replace the plug and
receptacle every three years, but subjective to use, as is the case with all
plugs and receptacles on all appliances.

Inspect the Equipment or Vehicle Cabling periodically – (at least monthly), for
loose or worn wires, connectors, terminals and ensure that fuse safety devices
have been installed by the Equipment or Vehicle manufacturer. Start at the
receptacle and inspect each wire and joint connecting the battery, including inter-
battery connections.

Follow the wire connection from the Equipment or Vehicle’s receptacle down to
the first battery on both the positive and negative conductors. On one of those
conductors, an in-line fuse or a fuse-box fitted with a fusing protection device
must be installed – preferably within 6 inches (150mm) of the battery post on the
first battery.
If fusing is not found, install fuse protection prior to using
charger with that equipment or vehicle.

If the OEM Equipment or Vehicle was not properly protected with fusing, as may
be the case with much older equipment or vehicles, DPI has made available a
‘Battery Terminal to Receptacle Wire/Circuit Fuse Protection Kit’, such as
KITS0009’ which is easy to install. Visit
www.DPIpower.com .

The charger is factory preset to charge in MODE-1, unless supplied with an
OEM’s equipment or vehicle – in which case, the MODE will be set to that mode
defined by the OEM Equipment Specification. If changing battery type, verify and
re-establish the Charger MODE settings.

If charger was purchased ‘used’ or with used equipment – IDENTIFY BATTERY
INSTALLED IN THE EQUPMENT AND VERIFY THAT THE MODE IN WHICH
THE CHARGER IS SET, IS APPROPRIATELY SELECTED FOR THAT
BATTERY.
This will ensure that an ‘inventory-stocked charger’ at the Dealer’s
location was not mismatched with the battery installed on the equipment or
vehicle.
