Charge Pro™ Chargers

MODELS: 28106, 28210

The Marinco chargers are designed to both recharge your batteries, and extend
your battery’s life in applications where it is stored for long periods of time.
They are multi-stage, completely automatic, lightweight, silent, battery chargers
and each output produces 12 Volts DC at either a full 5 or 6 Amps (model
specific), while using much less AC current than other charger types. When
the charger is attached to your batteries and plugged into a standard 115 Volt
/ 60 Hz AC outlet, the red and green LED’s let you know the unit is recharging
and maintaining your batteries. Model 28210 uses Sense-Send Technology
to quickly charge two batteries and will automatically start charging when the
battery voltage becomes low.

WARNING THIS CHARGER SHOULD BE USED TO CHARGE ONLY LEAD
ACID OR AGM TYPE BATTERIES. USE ON OTHER BATTERY TYPES MAY
EXPLODE AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety and

operating instructions for the chargers. Read the entire manual before using.
Also read all instructions and cautions for and on the charger, batteries and
equipment in the vicinity of the batteries.

B) Use of an attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a

risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

C) To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather

than cord when disconnecting the chargers.

D) An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of

improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:

i. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape

as those of the plug on the charger;

ii. That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition

iii. Wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of the charger as specified

below

E) Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or

plug immediately.

F) Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or

otherwise damaged in any way.

G) Do not attempt to disassemble the charger.

H) To reduce the risk of injury unplug charger from outlet before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls alone will not reduce the risk.

I) Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

Personal Precautions

A) Someone should be within voice range or close enough to come to your aid

when you work near a lead-acid battery.

B) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts

skin, clothing, or eyes.

C) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes

while working near a battery.

D) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap

and water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with cold, running
water for at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.

E) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery.

F) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It

may spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause
an explosion.

G) Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and

watches when working with a lead-acid battery. 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.

H) 8. Use battery charger for charging a lead-acid battery only. It is not intended

to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter
motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry cell batteries
that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries will burst and
cause injury to persons and damage to property.

I) NEVER charge a frozen battery.

WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

1) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL
OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS UTMOST IMPORTANCE
THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE
CHARGER.

2) To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instruction and those
published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these
products and on engine.

Preparing To Charge

A) Before charging a battery with the charger, read the following precautions: 1.

Do NOT operate the charger if the cables or an LED is damaged.

B) Make sure all accessories on the product you are charging are OFF.

C) If the battery or batteries must be removed from the product, always remove

the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories in the
product are off, so as not to cause an electrical arc.

D) Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is

being charged.

E) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact

with eyes.

F) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches levels specified by

the battery manufacturer, if applicable. Do not overfill. For a battery without
cell caps, carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.

G) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions while charging and

recommended rates of charge.

H) Determine voltage of battery by referring to product’s manual, and make sure

it matches output rating of battery charger.

AC Connection and Grounding Precautions

! DANGER DO NOT OPERATE THIS CHARGER WITH A TWO BLADED
ADAPTER PLUG OR EXTENSION CORD. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

AFTER SECURING THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS, PLUG THE AC LINE
CORD INTO AN AVAILABLE AC OUTLET THAT IS PROTECTED BY A
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) BREAKER.

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS:

Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. 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 Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not fit outlet, have
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can
result in a risk of an electric shock.
