QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS:
The No Polarity chargers do not have positive and negative
connections. The two clips may be connected to the battery(s)
either way. Move the switch to the OFF position. Before making
battery connections, be sure the charger voltage matches that of the
battery(s). Once conn ect ed , the green battery LED should lite. If
not, see the trouble shooting section before proceeding.
Plug the charger into AC power with the same ratings as that of the
charger. (See decal). Move the switch to the voltage that matches
the battery. The red LED should lite, and the ammeter should
deflect to the right or left of 0. As the battery becomes charged, the
meter will work its way back to 0. The charger may be left on, and
will maintain the battery(s).
While the charger is on, it will adjust the voltage applied to the
battery depending on the air temperature. As it increases, the
charger will lower the voltage, as the temperature falls, the voltage
will rise. This optimizes battery life.

SAFETY INFORMATION AC WIRING:
Before making AC connections, refer to the requirements on the
charger ID label. If your charger is not equipped with an AC plug,
for example, a 230 volt charger, have a qualified electrician install
one.
To reduce the risk of fire, use this charger only on branch circuits
that are protected by a circuit breaker or fuse, and that are adequate
to carry the power drawn by the charger. All wiring should be in
accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and
all local codes and ordinances.
This battery charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric
shock. 117 volt chargers are equipped with a grounding type plug,
230 volt chargers are shipped without a plug. Have a qualified
electrician install a properly grounded 3 wire plug.
DO NOT USE THIS CHARGER ON A TWO POLE
UNGROUNDED OUTLET OR ATTEMPT TO BREAK OFF
THE GROUND PRONG FOR USE ON A RECEPTACLE OR
EXTENSION CORD NOT HAVING A GROUND.
If an extension cord must be used, make sure it is in good
condition. Use a three conductor cord no smaller than the size
being used on the charger, and keep it as short as possible. The use
of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of a fire or
electric shock. Locate all cords so that they will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
