For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) damp from battery charger to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to vehicle cliassis or
engine block away from battery. Do riot connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body
parts. Cormect to heavy gauge metal part ot the frame or engine block.

7.
When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle cfsassis, and then
remove claitip from battery terminal.
8.
Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
9.
See operating instructions for leisglh of charge information.
FolSow these steps when the battery has been removed from a vehtde. A spark near
the battery may cause an explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near the battery:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. The POSITIVE post (marked POS,P,
+ )
usually has a larger diameter
than the NEGATIVE battery post (marked NEG, N, -}.
2 .
Attach a 24-inch (minimum length) 6 AWG irssulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE battery post
(marked NEG, N, -).
3. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) battery damp to the POSITIVE battery post (marked POS, P, + or red).
4.
Stand as tar back from the battery as possible, and do not face battery when making final
connection.
5.
Carefully connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of the battery cable
connected to the NEGATIVE terminal.
6. Set the charge rate to appropriate setting according to battery size.
7. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break
first connectioii while as far away from battery as practical.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the 40/20/10/4 Amp Smart Battery Charger. With
proper care and use, it will give you years of dependable service. This battery
charger has a high charge rate of up to 40 amps, a low charge rate of 4 amps and
110 amps of engine starting power. It is designed for charging only
12 volt lead-acid batteries — conventional automotive, maintenance-free, marine
deep cycle and gel — used in cars, trucks, farm equipment, boats, RVs and SUVs,
lawn mowers/garden tractors, motorcycles, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, ATVs
and various applications.
Smart Battery Chargers feature 3-stage high-efficiency charging technology built-in
microprocessor control that ensures fast, sate and complete charging of serviceable
batteries.
Charge Curve
Stage One — Rapid Start Charge at 40 amps delivers maximum charging
amperage to "wake up" any serviceable 12 volt battery and allows for quick engine
starting in just 1 minute (based on a midsize vehicle battery at 50% charge level).
When battery reaches a maximum safe predetermined voltage, the charger will
automatically signal a "beep" and move into Stage 2 of the charging process.
