FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
a. Position the AC and DC cords to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door, or moving engine parts.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
post.
d. Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most
vehicles), see item "e". If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see item "f".
e. For negative-grounded vehicles, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis, heavy gauge metal part of the frame, or engine block, away
from the battery. Do not connect to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
f. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of
the battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the
carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
g. When disconnecting the charger, turn the switches to OFF, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, and then
remove the clamp from the battery terminal.
h. See the operating instructions for length of charge information.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
a. Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b. Attach at least a 24 inch long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
c. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery.
d. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from the battery as possible - then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the
free end of cable.
e. Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
f. When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure, and break the first connection while standing as
far away from the battery as practical.
g. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
19.
The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. This charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER.
connection can result in a risk of an electric shock. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in FIGURE (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in FIGURE (C), may be used to connect this
plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in FIGURE (B), until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER.
that the center screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The greencolored rigid ear or lug extending from the adapter must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is
grounded. If necessary, replace the original outlet cover plate
screw with a longer screw that will secure the adapter ear or lug to
the outlet cover plate and make ground connection to grounded
outlet.
NOTE:
Never alter the AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper

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
are determined by multiplying the number of hours times the number of Amps supplied by a battery to a load and normally indicated on the battery.
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.
21.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: CHARGING
* SLOW BLINKING RED LIGHT - Indicates possible weak battery.
* FAST BLINKING RED LIGHT – Before charge this indicates battery is connected backwards, check connection.
* CONTINUOUS RED LIGHT - Indicates AC power is on.
* CONTINUOUS GREEN LIGHT - Indicates correct connection. If when battery is connected, the green light does not light, check for proper
polarity or poor connections. If the battery voltage is below 4 volts the green light will not come on.
* BLINKING GREEN LIGHT - Indicates charge is complete, charger in the float mode.
* CONTINUOUS YELLOW LIGHT - Indicates charging, bulk charge, less than 80% charged.
* BLINKING YELLOW LIGHT - Indicates finish charge, greater than 80% charged.
* FLASHING GREEN AND YELLOW LIGHTS - Flooded batteries only. Indicates deep discharge recovery process.
NOTES:
FOUR SECOND DELAY - To avoid sparking, the charger tests for correct polarity before applying current to the battery. When connected properly,
the green light will come on for 4 seconds before the yellow light comes on.
DEEP DISCHARGE RECOVERY - If the charger determines a battery is deeply discharged, it will attempt to recover the battery with a program
designed to enhance charge acceptance. Because of the high voltage levels required for recovery, this program is not included for sealed
batteries.
OPERATING PROCEDURE:
1. Plug AC cord into outlet. Turn POWER switch ON. RED light will come on.
2. Select mode of operation Flooded or Sealed/GEL. Most VRLA would be charged with flooded see battery manual for details, if in doubt
charge with sealed.
3. Connect the RED clamp to the positive (+) and the BLACK clamp to the negative (-). The GREEN light will come on for 4 seconds. See
PREPARING TO CHARGE portion under IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS of this manual.
4. The YELLOW light will come on when the GREEN light goes off and charging will begin.
5. If the battery is deeply discharged, the YELLOW and GREEN lights will flash on and off for up to 30 minutes, in flooded setting.
6. Charging will be discontinued if the battery will not accept charge after a reasonable amount of time and the RED light will flash.
7. Charging time will depend on the size and state of charge of the battery.
8. When charging is complete, charger will go into a float mode and the GREEN light will blink.
NOTES ON RECOVERY OF DEEPLY DISCHARGED BATTERIES:
a. Not all deeply discharged batteries can be recovered.
b. Most weak batteries will be detected while charging. However, some batteries which have been recovered from a deep discharge will maintain
an acceptable open circuit voltage but have a reduced capacity under load. Always load test or otherwise test a recovered battery to
determine if the CCA capacity is within 80% of the rated value.
DEAD BATTERY OVERRIDE
If the battery voltage is below 4V the battery charger will not recognize that it has been connected to a battery. Most batteries even if completely
discharged will recover to a voltage greater than 4V, but if a battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period of time the voltage may fall
below 4V. This charger has been equipped with a Dead Battery Override switch; this can be used to start the charger if the battery voltage is below
4V.
OPERATION:
a. Connect the deeply discharged battery to charger, battery should be placed as far away from the charger as the cables will allow. (See
Section 18). Please insure that the battery is connected with the correct polarity.
b. Press and hold the override switch; green LED should light, if monitoring the battery voltage should see it rise.
CAUTION: Never press the override switch without a battery connected.
c. After several seconds release the override switch, if the battery will accept a charge it should now start charging. For best results the Battery
Type switch should be set for flooded. If the battery is a sealed type; the Battery Type switch can be changed after the battery has reached
the gassing point (Yellow Led starts to flash).
d. The battery may have to be connected to the charger several times before the charger will not fail the battery as a bad battery (Red Led

General operation:
Flashing). NOTE: The operator should only need to press the override for the first attempt to recover the battery.
. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: ELECTRICAL STABILITY SYSTEM
1. With AC cord plugged into an outlet the RED light will be on continuously.
2. For best results the battery should be fully charged before being used with the Electrical Stability System
3. Set the selector switch to the ESS/FLASH setting (center).
4. Connect the RED clamp to the battery positive (+), connect the black clamp to the grounded frame of the vehicle (see Sec-17 on charging
batteries installed in a vehicle), in the unusual case that the vehicle has a positive ground, connect the black clamp to the battery negative post
(-) and the red clamp to the chassis.
5. When the charger detects the battery voltage is present the GREEN light will light for 4 seconds. The YELLOW light will then come on and the
unit will start to ramp up the DC current. When the charger reaches the safe operating level the YELLOW light will start to blink.
6. The unit will not shut off, it will maintain the voltage within it’s capabilities until the unit is turned off.
7. If the voltage should fall below the specified level the YELLOW light will return to continuously on. If the unit can not maintain the voltage level
for more than 20 seconds then the RED light will start to flash. At this point the unit is supplying maximum output and the battery voltage
should be monitored to make sure it does not drop below minimum levels required for testing and/or programming.
