OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before charging, make sure the capacity of the battery to be charged is not lower
than 4Ah. On the rear of the charger you will find separate connectors for 6V/12V and
24V batteries making sure the correct cable is connected to the appropriate battery.
CONNECTING TO A BATTERY
1. Identify the polarity of the battery posts. The positive battery terminal is typically
red and marked by these letters or symbols (POS, P, +). The negative battery
terminal is typically black and marked by these letters or symbols (NEG, N, -).
2. DO NOT make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines or thin metal parts.
3. Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by
identifying which battery post (NEG or POS) is connected to the chassis.
4. For a negative grounded vehicle (most common), connect the RED POSITIVE
clamp first to the positive battery terminal, then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE
clamp to the negative battery terminal or vehicle chassis.
5. For a positive grounded vehicle (very uncommon), connect the BLACK NEGATIVE
clamp first to the negative battery terminal, then connect the RED POSITIVE
clamp to the positive battery terminal or vehicle chassis.
6. When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the negative
first (or positive first for positive ground systems).
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it onboard requires equipment specially designed for marine use.

Page 20
4. If the engine fails to start, use the BOOST rate to charge for 5 minutes before
attempting to crank the engine again.
5. After the engine starts, unplug the AC power cable before disconnecting the
battery clamps from the vehicle.
NOTE: If the engine does turn over but never starts, there is not a problem with the
starting system; there is a problem somewhere else with the vehicle. STOP
cranking the engine until the other problem has been diagnosed and
corrected.
During the starting sequence listed above, the charger is set to one of 3 states:
1. Wait for cranking – While waiting for cranking, the digital display shows STARTREADY. The charger waits until the engine is actually being cranked before
delivering the amps for engine start. Press the remote button before crank the
engine immediately. If the remote is not used, the charger will automatically detect
whether engine is trying to crank.
2. Cranking – When cranking is detected, the charger will automatically deliver up to
its maximum output as required by the starting system for up to 5 (15)seconds.
3. Cool Down – After cranking, the charger enters a mandatory 240 seconds cool
down state (The remote or any button does NOT work). The digital display
indicates the remaining cool down time in seconds. It starts at 240 and counts
down to 0. After 4 minutes, the digital display will change from displaying the
countdown to displaying START-READY. If using the engine starter again, please
continue to press the remote button.
VOLTAGE TESTER AND CHARGER
When first turned on, the unit operates only as a tester, not as a charger.
If the ‘TEST’ function is used, stop the ‘FUNCTION’ and the corresponding working
mode is turned off. Then select the ‘TEST’ button to detect and view the connected
battery voltage and charge level.
ALTERNATOR CHECK
1. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to the battery,
following the instructions given in previous sections.
2. Plug the charger AC power cable into the AC outlet.
3. Start the vehicle and turn on the vehicle’s headlights. Read the state on the digital
display. If you get a reading “0-100%”, the alternator is working properly. If the
reading is ‘LO’ or ‘HI’, have the charging system checked by a qualified technician.
NOTE: When first turned on, the unit operates only as a tester, not as a charger (The
charger must stop charging).
