Associated Equipment 6019 - Manual (Page 3)

NOTE: USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE,
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
20.
LENGTH OF CHARGE
a. Test the battery for state of charge. Do not charge if it is over 75% charged or the battery is determined to be defective.
b. Set beginning amps charge rate for size of battery and state of charge per charts.
c. Charge for length of time per charge.
d. Discontinue charge when the specific gravity of electrolyte reaches 1.260 or above. A temperature compensating hydrometer
should be used for this reading. Discontinue charge if the battery begins to gas excessively or when the temperature of the
electrolyte reaches approximately 120°F. Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging results in excessive water loss and
eventual damage to the battery.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the screws from the back of charger and attach the handle in an upright position with screws
provided.
2. Remove the three screws on the bottom toward the front of the charger and attach the leg with the screws
provided.
3. Put one of the axle nuts on one side of the axle by tapping the nut on with a hammer. Then slide the axle
through one of the wheels and then through the hole in the charger until it comes out the other end. Put
the other wheel and axle nut on.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION - This battery charger must be fully assembled before operating. Failure to do so may result in risk
of injury.
USE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL:
The MINUTES CHARGE timer has an OFF position, a CONTINUOUS
CHARGE position and a timed charge range from 0 to 90 minutes.
a. OFF - Always make sure the timer is in the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting the
clamps from the battery. The charger will not charge with the timer in this position.
b. CONTINUOUS CHARGE - This position is used for slow charging or parallel charging, the timer will not shut the charger OFF
while in this position. Do not use this position for fast charging.
c. 0 to 90 MINUTES TIMED CHARGE - The timer will automatically turn the charger off at the end of the pre-set charging time.
Turn the timer past 20 before setting the desired time.
TO CHARGE BATTERIES:
Make connections to the battery per the instructions in previous sections of this manual.
Determine if the battery is 6 or 12 volts and then set the CHARGE VOLTAGE switch to 6V for a 6 volt battery or 12V LO for a 12 volt
battery.
Turn the timer on and read the AMPERES meter.
If a higher rate of charge is desired for charging 12 volt batteries, set the CHARGE VOLTAGE switch to the 12V HI position.
Set the timer to the desired minutes charge.
DO NOT USE THE 12V ENGINE START POSITION TO CHARGE BATTERIES.
