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 four 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 12LO 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 12HI position.
Set the timer to the desired minutes charge.
DO NOT USE THE 12V ENGINE START POSITION TO CHARGE BATTERIES.
12 VOLT ENGINE START:
Turn off all the lights and accessories in the stalled vehicle.
Connect the charger to the battery per the previous instructions.
Set the CHARGE VOLTAGE switch to the 12HI position.
Charge the battery on 12HI for at least 5 minutes before setting the CHARGE VOLTAGE switch to the
12V ENGINE START position to start the vehicle. Start the vehicle with the charger connected to the
battery.
NOTE: Do not crank the engine more than 20 seconds in any five minute period; excessive cranking may overheat and damage the starter.
DO NOT USE THE 12V ENGINE START POSITION TO CHARGE BATTERIES.
If the vehicle fails to start, return the CHARGE VOLTAGE switch to the 12HI position.
While waiting for the starter to cool, allow the charger to continue to charge the battery.
Turn the timer to the OFF position before disconnecting the clamps.
CHARGING SULFATED BATTERIES
If your battery has sat in the discharged state for an extended period of time, it can become SULFATED. This usually is seen as a white deposit near
the top of the battery. The sulfate is formed when a battery with low water levels remains discharged for an extended time. Sulfated batteries exhibit
the characteristic of accepting no charge regardless of the rate of charge.
The charging method is two staged. The first stage of attempting to break down the sulfation to allow the battery to accept a charge must be closely
watched to avoid excessive charge rates as the battery begins to charge and overheating. The second stage is a slow charging to restore the
battery to full charge.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS IN YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE
