3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P. + ) post of battery.
4. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible-then
connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
5. Do not face battery when making final connection.
6. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting
procedure and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
I. GROUNDINGANDACPOWERCORDCONNECTIONINSTRUCTIONS
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with
anelectriccordhavinganequipment-groundingconductorandagroundingplug. Theplug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet
Page3
Installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric
shock.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 117-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated In sketch A In Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks
like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-
pole receptacle as shown In sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
DANGER - Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate
is grounded. The green colored rigid ear or lug extending from adapter must be connected
to a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original
outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet
cover plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.
Use of an adapter is not allowed in Canada. It a grounding type receptacle is not available,
do not use this appliance until the proper outlet is installed by a qualified electrician.

J. OPERATIONINSTRUCTIONS
This battery charger is equipped with a self-resetting circuit breaker. This device protects
the charger from temporary overloads. In the event of an overload, the circuit breaker
will trip open, and after a short cooling off period will reset automatically. This process
is known as cycling and can be recognized by an audible clicking sound.
K. OUTPUTVOLTAGESELECTORSWITCH
Set output voltage selector switch to match voltage of battery to be charged. For models
without voltage selector switch make sure voltage of battery matches that of the charger.
Battery charger models having a voltage selector switch are for charging a 6 or a 12 Volt
battery. Those having no voltage switch are intended for charging a 12 Volt battery only.

OUTPUTCURRENTSELECTORSWITCH
In addition to the voltage selector switch, some models are equipped with a two position
switch, allowing the operator to select the ampere charge rate to a battery, as follows:

Before making any connections to battery, read instructions F, G and H carefulIy.
Connect DC output clips only when AC power supply cord is removed from electrical
outlet.
Never allow cilps to touch each other.
M. CHARGE PERIOD: The approximate required time to bring a battery to full charge state
depends upon the number of ampere hours (AH) depleted from the battery. AH’s are
determined by multiplying the number of hours times the number of Amps supplied by a
battery to a load.
For example - If a load was connected to a battery, which drew 7 Amps for a period of
5 hours, the battery will have supplied 35 AH. The approximate recharge time would then
be calculated by dividing the 35 AH depleted from the battery, by the ampere charge rate
of the charger. To allow for tapering of the charge rate add 25 percent to the charge time.
Indications of a fully charged battery are:
When the ammeter indicates the charge rate has tapered to approximately one half the
charger rated output.
A hydrometer reading of the specific gravity of the electrolyte (fluid) of a battery in good
condition should be between 1.250 and 1.285.
When a battery reaches 80 - 85% of full charge bubbles will appear on the surface of
the fluid. As the battery nears full charge, bubbling will become more noticeably
vigourous.
Disconnecting from Battery:
Before disconnecting from battery read instructions F. G and H carefully.
N. STORAGE: Store battery charger In a dry area.
O. PROBLEMCHECKLIST
1. If no meter reading, check the following:
a. Remove the charger power cord plug from the AC outlet and recheck the battery
charger clips for clean, tight connections.
b. Check voltage selector switch for proper setting.
c. Check for voltage at the AC outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
2. If Ammeter pointer moves to extreme right, remains a short time, then returns to zero,
accompanied by a cilcking sound, check the following:
a. Possibly, the charger connections are reversed. (Positive to negative, instead of
positive to positive).
Page5
b. A severely discharged, but otherwise good battery. In this situation, the circuit
breaker will continue to cycle and the ammeter pointer will swing from one side
to the other, until the battery has recovered sufficiently to allow a normal charging
rate.
c. A defective battery may cause repeated circuit breaker cycling. A battery in this
condition will not accept a charge and should be replaced.
d. Check voltage switch for proper setting.
3. If charging current Is less than full output rating of the charger, check the following:
a. Perhaps battery is partially charged.
b. Perhaps battery is sulphated and will not accept full charge rate.
c. Perhaps power line is providing low AC supply voltage.
