1.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

1.1WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION, AND WHEN DISCHARGED OR CHARGED. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

1.2To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these safety instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine, and on vehicle or equipment containing the battery.

1.3CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only rechargeable LEADACID TYPE batteries which may include MAINTENANCE-FREE, LOW-MAINTENANCE OR DEEP CYCLE batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

If you are uncertain as to the type of battery you are attempting to charge, or the correct procedure for checking the battery’s state of charge, contact the seller or battery manufacturer.

1.4Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

1.5To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.

1.6Position AC and DC leads to avoid tripping over them and to prevent damage by hood, doors, or moving engine parts; protect from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

1.7Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service center.

1.8Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service center when repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

1.9To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from the AC outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.

1.10BOAT BATTERIES MUST BE REMOVED AND CHARGED ON SHORE. TO SAFELY CHARGE THEM ON BOARD REQUIRES EQUIPMENT ESPECIALLY DESIGNED AND UL LISTED FOR MARINE USE.

1.11Connect and disconnect battery leads only when AC supply cord is disconnected.

1.12Do not overcharge battery. (See sections 3, 10, and 11.)

1.13When charging a battery, locate in a dry, well-ventilated area.

1.14Never place articles on or around charger, or locate charger in a way that will restrict the flow of cooling air through cabinet.

1.15An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. (See paragraph 4.3.)

1.16Have damaged cord or plug replaced immediately.

1.17Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

2.PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

2.1Always have someone within range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid, when working around lead acid batteries.

2.2Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.

2.3Wear complete eye protection, clothing protection, and wear rubber soled shoes. Place damp cloth over battery to protect against acid spray. When ground is very wet or covered with snow, wear rubber boots. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

2.4If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flush with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention.

2.5NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

2.6Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.

2.7Before working with a lead acid battery, remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, etc. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld such items causing a severe burn.

2.8CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only rechargeable LEAD ACID TYPE batteries which may include MAINTENANCE FREE, LOW MAINTENANCE, OR DEEP CYCLE batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

The charger is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than applications using rechargeable, lead-acid type batteries. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause personal injury and property damage.

2.9NEVER charge a frozen battery, thaw it out first. Charging will then be safer and more efficient.

3.PREPARING TO CHARGE BATTERY

3.1If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.

3.2Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.

3.3Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes.

3.4Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without caps, carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions

3.5Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.

3.6Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage. If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate. If charger has only one voltage, verify that battery voltage matches voltage of charger.

For a charger not having an output voltage selector switch, determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and make sure it matches output rating of battery charger.

4.GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1Charger must 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 CHARGER’S ORIGINAL AC CORD AND PLUG. IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT OUTLET, HAVE PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. dISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN CHARGER IS IDLE.

4.2This 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 Figures B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

DANGER: BEFORE USING ADAPTER AS ILLUSTRATED, BE CERTAIN THAT CENTER SCREW OF OUTLET PLATE IS GROUNDED. THE GREEN-COLORED RIGID EAR OR LUG EXTENDING FROM ADAPTER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET; MAKE CERTAIN IT IS GROUNDED. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE ORIGINAL OUTLET COVER PLATE SCREW WITH A LONGER SCREW THAT WILL SECURE ADAPTER EAR OR LUG TO COVER PLATE AND MAKE GROUND CONNECTION TO GROUNDED OUTLET.

4.3An 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 extension cord must be used, make sure:

a.that pins on plugs of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger;

b.that extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition;

c.that wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified in the following table.

5.CHARGER LOCATION

5.1Locate charger as far away from battery as charger cables permit.

5.2Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.

5.3Never allow electrolyte to drip on charger when taking gravity readings or filling a battery.

5.4Operate charger only in well ventilated area, free of dangerous vapors.

5.5Store charger in safe, dry location and maintain in perfect condition.

5.6Do not set battery on top of charger or where its acid might drip onto charger.

6.DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

6.1All switches should be set in OFF position and AC cord should be DISCONNECTED from electrical outlet before you connect and disconnect charger clamps. Never allow clamps to touch each other.

6.2When attaching charger clamps, be certain to make the best possible mechanical as well as electrical connection. This will tend to prevent clamps from slipping off connections, avoid

dangerous sparking, and assure safer and more efficient charging. Clamps should be kept clean.

CAUTION: Setting switches to OFF does not always disconnect charger electrical circuit from AC power cord or DC charger clamps.

7.BATTERY IN VEHICLE OR CONNECTION TO ENGINE

7.1Before working on vehicle, firmly apply emergency brake and place gear shift to NEUTRAL—shift an automatic transmission to PARK.

7.2Locate charger as far away from battery as charger cords permit and position AC and DC cords to avoid stepping on or tripping over them and to prevent damage by hood, doors, or moving engine parts.

7.3Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and any other parts that can cause physical injury.

7.4Turn OFF all vehicle loads, including door lights, and correct any defects in car’s electrical system that may have caused low battery.

7.5Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS., P, +) post usually has larger diameter than

NEGATIVE (NEG., N,–) post.

7.6Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to chassis. If negative post is grounded (as in most vehicles), see paragraph 7.7. If positive post is grounded, see

paragraph 7.8.

7.7For negative-grounded vehicle, first connect POSITIVE (red) clamp from charger to POSITIVE (POS., P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of frame or engine block. When disconnecting charger, turn switches to OFF, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.

7.8For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from charger to NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Then connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of frame or engine block.

When disconnecting charger, turn switches to OFF, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.

CAUTION: WHEN POSITIVE (+) POST OF VEHICLE BATTERY IS GROUNDED, DOUBLE CHECK POLARITY.

8.BATTERY OUTSIDE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT—NOT CONNECTED TO ENGINE

If necessary to remove battery from vehicle or equipment, always remove grounded terminal from battery first.

WARNING: Make sure all vehicle loads are OFF to prevent a possible arc.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK:

8.1Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS., P, +) post usually has larger diameter than

NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –) post.

8.2Attach at least a 24-inch, 6-gauge insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –) battery post.

8.3Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to POSITIVE (POS., P, +) post of battery.

8.4Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible—do not face battery when making final connection—then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to free end of cable.

8.5When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure; break first connection while staying as far away from battery as practical.

9.CHARGER FEATURES AND CONTROLS

9.1AMMETER

Supplied on charger’s front panel, indicates amount of amps flowing from charger into battery. The meter’s front has zones marked “CHARGE”, “START” and a graphed numerical value.

9.2VOLTMETER

Supplied on charger’s front panel (if equipped) and indicates the following:

10 ▪

PERCENT CHARGED Scale

Indicates battery’s approximate state of charge. Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendation for removing surface charge before reading voltage.

VOLTAGE Scale

The voltmeter will indicate voltage (8–16 volts), whether the charger is on or off.

CHARGING SYSTEM Scale

Use to test the alternator. When the ambient temperature is within the range of –40 to +120 oF, (–40 to +49 oC)alternator output should indicate a reading in the “O.K.” range.

9.3TIMER Switch

The TIMER Switch is located in the upper right-hand corner. The “OFF” position disconnects the output of the charger. By rotating the dial clockwise the output is turned on for a duration of time determined by the number of minutes the dial is set at. The “HOLD” function can be used when charging times longer than 120 minutes are required. While in the timing phase, the output can be turned off by rotating the dial counterclockwise to the “OFF” position. When determining charging time, refer to the Quick Reference Guide and Battery Charging, section 11.

9.4RATE/VOLTAGE CONTROL Switch

The charger has a Rate/VoltageCONTROL switch, located near the upper left-hand corner, which controls the voltage and current. Ensure that the voltage setting selected matches the voltage of the battery intended for charging. Select the amperage rate that suites your application as described below.

SLOW CHARGE

2 AMP: For slow charging low rated batteries used in motorcycles, snowmobiles, lawn and garden tractors, etc. Trickle charging automotive size batteries.

NORMAL CHARGE

10–30 AMP: For charging automotive style, regular and deep-cycle batteries.

FAST CHARGE

30–60 AMP: For fast-charging automotive style, regular and deep-cycle batteries. DO NOT use on small, low-capacity batteries. This setting can be used for parallel battery charging. (See section 12.)

BOOST CHARGE

50–80 AMP: For brief, high output charging. Follow BOOST CHARGE ratings (min/max, on/off times) on charger’s front label. Refer to Quick Reference Guide for more details.

ENGINE START

150–250 AMP: For automotive engine starting/cranking assist only. Follow ENGINE START ratings (min/max, on/off times) on charger’s front label. Refer to Quick Reference Guide and paragraph 9.4 for more details.

WARNING: At hiGHER AMP RAtes, IT BECOMES EASIER TO BOIL AND OVERCHARGE THE BATTERY. do not leave the charger unattended. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s charging instructions. Use the Charging Time Chart in the Quick Reference Guide Section, or the calculation in section 11, to determine how long to charge.

11 ▪

9.5ENGINE START

The ENGINE START setting provides a high current suitable for crank-assist/starting a vehicle that will not start due to a discharged battery. Use the step-by-step instructions of the Quick Reference Guide or use the following procedure. With the rate selector switch set to a fast charge (not boost) setting (30–60 AMP), charge battery for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of charge, select the ENGINE START position (150–250 AMP), set the timer to the HOLD position. Attempt to start the engine using the ignition key.

If the engine fails to start within 3 to 5 seconds, stop cranking. Return charger to the fast charge setting (30–60 AMP), and charge battery for another 5 minutes.

If the engine fails to start after a second or third attempt, disconnect the charger. Before replacing the battery, use a battery tester to test it.

DO NOT attempt to start a vehicle without the battery properly installed. Damage may result to the vehicle’s electrical system.

9.6OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The charger uses an output circuit breaker and a thermal breaker to prevent overheating and damage to the charger and the vehicle. If after repeated starting attempts, the charger does not indicate any output on its meter, it may be because one of the two breakers has opened. If the output breaker opens due to excessive current, a popping noise will be heard. It will automatically reset itself in a couple of minutes. If the thermal breaker opens, it will automatically reset itself in about 15 to 30 minutes.

10.ELECTRICAL CONDITION OF BATTERY

10.1The state of charge of refillable-top batteries can be checked by using a hydrometer. A hydrometer is a bulb-type syringe which is used to extract a small quantity of the electrolyte from each battery cell. A float in the hydrometer barrel indicates the specific gravity of the electrolyte. This specific gravity reading indicates the battery’s state of charge at a given temperature, as shown in the table below:

**Initial specific gravity readings vary, depending on battery type and manufacturer. Contact the seller or manufacturer of the battery for this specification.

10.2The state of charge of sealed-top (maintenance-free and recombination-type) batteries must be checked with a high resolution voltage tester.

10.3If uncertain about type of battery you will be charging, or the correct procedure for checking the battery’s state of charge, contact the seller or manufacturer of the battery.

12 ▪

10.4The temperature of the battery and the equipment the battery is used with has a dramatic effect on battery efficiency and system power requirements. For example, at 0 oF (–18 oC), a battery is operating at 40% of its rated efficiency, while the engine it is attempting to start requires over twice as much power as would be necessary at 80 o F (27 oF).

11.BATTERY CHARGING

11.1Determine battery’s state of charge by following the instructions and chart in Section 10, connect charger as per instructions in Section 7 and/or 8.

11.2From the Charging Time Chart (located in the Quick Reference Guide Section), pick the ROW which has the Reserve Capacity rating and measured battery voltage that is closest to the battery being charged. Follow across the row until you are under the desired charging rate. This value indicates the approximate time required to recharge the battery.

11.3An alternative method for calculating the time required to recharge a battery in good condition is to follow this formula:

(reserve capacity in minutes) + 15.5 = amp hour capacity

2

(amp hour capacity) x (percent of charge needed) = time in hours charger amp rate setting

(time in hours) x (recharge factor of 1.25) = recharge time

Example: Suppose a battery has an RC of 120 minutes and is discharged down to 25%. We need to put in 75% more charge and we want to use our charger’s 40 AMP charge setting:

120 minutes + 15.5 = 75.5 amp hours

2

(75.5 amp hours) x (0.75) = time = 1.4 hours 40-amp charge rate

Then: (1.4 hours) x (recharge factor of 1.25) = 1.76 hours or 106 minutes recharge time.

12.MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING

12.1PARALLEL CHARGING

Batteries of the same type and voltage rating may be connected in parallel for maintenance charging. Charge time increases in proportion to the number of batteries. Rate of charge decreases in the same proportion.

Example: Charging 2 batteries in parallel will take 2 times longer; each battery receives 1/2 the amount of charge showing on the ammeter. Thus, if the ammeter shows a 40-amp charge, each battery will be getting a 20-amp charge (when batteries have the same rating, same state of charge, etc.).

13 ▪

12.2SERIES CHARGING

Batteries of the same type and voltage rating may be connected in series for charging. The charger’s VOLTAGE setting equals the sum of the individual battery voltages and the current through each equals the amount of charge showing on the ammeter.

Example: Charging two 12-volt batteries in series requires a 24-volt charger (VOLTAGE) setting. If the ammeter shows 30 amps, each battery will be getting a 30-amp charge.

13.ATTACHING THE CHARGER HANDLE

CAUTION: THE CHARGER MUST BE FULLY ASSEMBLED BEFORE OPERATING.

13.1Locate the handle and four screws provided. The charger comes with one of two types of handles.

13.2Remove the top two screws at the rear from both sides of the charger.

13.3Straddle the handle over the charger and align the mounting holes. If the charger has the Type 2 handle, make sure the handle is flush with the edge of the charger. Refer to the drawing below.

13.4Attach the handle with the four screws and tighten securely.

14 ▪

Notice offset of holes

to orient handle correctly.

14.MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The charger is designed and built with high quality materials requiring only a minimum amount of care:

14.1Clamps should be cleaned each time the charger is used to prevent corrosion from battery fluid.

14.2Cords should be coiled when the charger is not being used to prevent damage.

14.3Other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.

15.TROUBLESHOOTING
