To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk. 10. WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE
  • WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
  • To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the Review cautionary marking on these products and the engine

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

• Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or
• Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and If acid enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool It might spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part that may cause an explosion.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid A lead- acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
• Use a charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery
• It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use a battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and property damage.
• NEVER charge a frozen battery.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

Operation instructions ****

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before setting up or use of this product.

WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY DO NOT PLUG IN CHARGER UNTIL DIRECTED TO DO SO.

Controls

Reversed Polarity:
The cables are connected improperly. Immediately disconnect the cables and connect them properly to prevent damage to the battery.

charge Status:

• red Light – The battery is bad or wrong battery voltage is
• Green Light – The battery is charging/fully
  • charging: Green Light is on, Amps Gauge Needle shows amps
  • Fully charged: Green Light is on , Amps Gauge Needle shows 0A

Note : This is disabled in start mode.

Setting switch:
Use the Setting Switch to change the output amperage between 2/5A, 10A, & 50A, and to select charging and start modes.

Battery type switch:
Use this switch to set the battery type:

• Set to Regular for flooded and maintenance-free batteries.
• Set to AGM for Absorbed Glass Mat batteries
• Set to AC Off to switch off the power

Note : The Amps Gauge shows the amount of current being drawn from the charger. It does not show what the charger is capable of delivering. The current drawn is limited as the battery voltage reaches full charged level. When the battery is fully charged and the Amps Gauge needle settles at 0A, a small current will continue to trickle to the battery. If the charger is not disconnected from the battery, eventually heat build-up will cause the battery acid to boil and overcharge the battery causing damage to the battery. Monitor battery charging progress constantly and if the battery gets warm, stop charging it immediately

Preparing to Charge

Use this charger only on flooded or AGM lead-acid batteries. Other batteries may be damaged or may overheat, leak, or catch fire.

WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY Wear ANSI-approved splash-resistant safety goggles and heavy-duty rubber work gloves whenever connecting, disconnecting, or working near the battery. Battery acid can cause permanent blindness

6. Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure it matches the output rating of the battery charger. If the charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the battery initially at the lowest rate.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. Charging it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use. SHORTED BATTERIE S – will read on Charge Meter as a high-end peg at the beginning of the charging process. If after 5-10 minutes, the needle does not move off the high end, the battery probably has a short circuit.
   • Unplug the charger and discontinue use. Have the battery checked by a qualified technician.
   • COLD BATTERIE S – begin charging at a low rate, increase as the battery reaches a normal temperature, then the rate will decrease normally.
   • DO NOT CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY . BATTERIE S WITH HYDROMETER EYE: Do not depend on the hydrometer eye to determine the battery charge level

Grounding and AC Power Cord Connection Instructions

The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. The charger is equipped with an electriccord havingg equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded by all local codes and ordinances.
