4, 6, 8 Amp Battery Charger

Manual for models: SS3629, SS3630, SS3631

Read these Operating Instructions carefully before use. Keep these instructions
for later reference. Always operate the charger according to these instructions

Operation

1. Consult the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to determine whether the battery
must be disconnected from the vehicle electrical system. For standard batteries,
loosen cell plugs and check electrolyte level. (The electrolyte must cover the plates
in the individual cells. If it does not, top up with distilled water). Maintenance-free
batteries should not be opened; this can be done only at an authorized repair facility
using special equipment. For maintenance-free batteries, discontinue charging once
out-gassing voltage (14.4V) has been reached.

2. Connect the red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the
battery, then the black clamp to the negative terminal (-).
When charging a battery that has not been removed from
the vehicle, first attach the charging clamp to the battery
terminal that is not electrically connected to the vehicle
chassis. Make the other connection to the chassis at a
location away from the battery and fuel line. The charge
status red LED will illuminate to show the battery is
connected.

3. Plug the charger into the 240V mains socket and set the charger power switch to
‘ON’; the charger will begin charging the battery. The charge status of the battery
is displayed by the LED’s. When the battery is fully charged the corresponding ‘Full
charge’ LED will illuminate.

4. Once charging is complete, remove the power plug from the 240V mains socket and
set the charger power switch to ‘OFF’.

CAUTION: Always pull on the plug itself, never on the cord. Only then can terminal
clamps be removed from the battery. If the battery has not been removed from the
vehicle, first disconnect the clamp from the chassis then from the battery, in that order.
Re-tighten the battery cell plugs if fitted.

Charger Characteristics

This unit contains a temperature-sensitive switch that automatically shuts the charger
off in the event of power overload or excessively high temperatures. The unit will auto­matically switch back on after a cooling period. Not suitable for continuous charging. DO
NOT use for trickle charging. Use this unit with caution on completely maintenance-free
batteries; the charging operation must be monitored.
