the battery clips until a battery is properly connected. The clips will not spark if touched
together.
Startup Defaults: When rst turned on, the charger will default to the following
startup settings:
• Battery Type: Standard
• Charge Rate: OFF (No charge rate selected)
After 10 minutes, if no charge rate is selected, the charger will automatically start
charging at the following defaults:
• Charge Current: The lowest charge rate setting available, 3 amps.
• Charge Voltage: The lowest charge rate voltage available, usually 14.7 volts (Gel
Cell), if not, then 15.4 volts (AGM), otherwise it will be 16.0 volts (Standard battery).
Battery Connection Indicator
If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the CONNECTED LED
will not light. Charging will not begin if the CONNECTED LED is not on.
Automatic Charging Mode
When a charge rate is selected, the charger is set to perform an automatic charge.
When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain mode
automatically after the battery is charged.
Aborted Charge
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger’s output is shut off, all of the LEDs are turned off and the digital display
will show an error code (see Troubleshooting for a list of error codes). In that state, the
charger ignores all buttons. To reset after an aborted charge, unplug the charger.
• 6 •
Desulfation Mode
IMPORTANT
Battery must be removed from the car when using this mode, or damage to
the car’s electrical system may result.
If the battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it could become sulfated
and not accept normal charge. If you select , the charger will switch to a special
mode of operation designed for sulfated batteries. If successful, the charger will fully
desulfate and charge the battery, then the green LED will go on. If desulfation fails, the
charger will abort and the CHARGING (yellow) LED will blink.
Completion Of Charge
Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED LED. When lit, the charger has
stopped charging and switched to the Maintain Mode of operation.
Maintain Mode
When the CHARGED LED is lit, the charger has started Maintain Mode. In this
mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small current when
necessary. The voltage is maintained at a level determined by the battery type selected.
NOTE: If the charger has to provide its maximum maintain current for a continuous 12
hour period it will go into Abort Mode. This is usually caused by a drain on the battery
or the battery could be bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. If there are,
remove them. If there are none, have the battery checked or replaced.
Maintaining a Battery (3A Charge Rate)
This charger has a maintenance setting that maintains both 6 and 12 volt batteries,
keeping them at full charge. On this setting, it can charge small batteries and maintain
both small and large batteries. We do not recommend charging a large battery on the
maintenance setting.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology utilized in Schumacher’s chargers allows you
to safely charge and maintain a healthy battery for extended periods of time. However,
problems with the battery, electrical problems in the vehicle, improper connections
or other unanticipated conditions could cause excessive current draws. As such,
occasionally monitoring your battery and the charging process is recommended.
Using the Engine Start feature
Your battery charger can be used to jumpstart your car if the battery is low. Follow these
instructions on how to use the ENGINE START feature.
IMPORTANT
Using the ENGINE START feature WITHOUT a battery installed in the
vehicle could cause damage to the vehicle’s electrical system. NOTE: If you have
charged the battery and it still will not start your car, do not use the ENGINE START
feature, or it could damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
1. With the charger plugged in and connected to the battery and chassis (see section 6),
press the CHARGE RATE button until the ENGINE START LED is lit.
2. This product is rated for 3 seconds of engine cranking.Crank the engine until it starts
or 3 seconds pass. If the engine does not start, wait 3 minutes before cranking
again. This allows the charger and battery to cool down.
NOTE: During extremely cold weather, or if the battery is under 2 volts, charge the
battery for 5 minutes before cranking the engine.
3. If the engine fails to start, charge the battery for 5 more minutes before attempting to
crank the engine again.
IMPORTANT
Do not leave the charger in Engine Start Mode for more than ten minutes at
a time, or you may damage the charger.
4. Clean and store the charger in a dry location.
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.
• 7 •
Engine Starting Notes
During the starting sequence listed above, the charger is set to one of three states:
Wait for cranking – The charger waits until the engine is actually being cranked before
delivering the amps for engine start and will reset if the engine is not cranked within 15
minutes. (If the charger resets, it sets itself to the default start up settings). While waiting
for cranking, the digital display shows rdy.
Cranking – When cranking is detected, the charger will automatically deliver up to its
maximum output as required by the starting system for up to 3 seconds or until the engine
cranking stops. The digital display shows a countdown of the remaining crank time.
Cool Down – After cranking, the charger enters a mandatory 3 minute (180 second)
cool down state. The digital display indicates the remaining cool down time in seconds.
It starts at 180 and counts down to 0. After 3 minutes, the digital display will change from
displaying the countdown to displaying rdy. The CHARGING LED will then be lit.
Using the Battery Voltage Tester
1. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to the battery
following the instructions given in sections 6 and 7.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into the AC outlet, following the instructions given in
section 8.
3. If necessary, press the BATTERY TYPE button until the correct type is indicated.
4. Read the voltage on the digital display.
NOTE: After 10 minutes, the charger will automatically switch from tester to charger.
Tester and Charger: When rst turned on, the unit operates only as a tester, not as a
charger. Selecting a charge rate activates the battery charger and deactivates the tester.
Pressing the CHARGE RATE button when the ENGINE START LED is lit (except during
the 180 second cool down) will shut off the charger and activate the tester.
Power-Up Idle Time Limit: If no button is pressed within 10 minutes after the battery
charger is rst powered up, the charger will automatically switch from tester to charger if a
battery is connected. In that case, the charger will be set to the start up default settings.
Testing After Charging: After the unit has been changed from tester to charger (by
selecting a charge rate), it remains a charger. To change the battery charger back to a
tester, press the CHARGE RATE button until all charge rate LEDs are off.
NOTE: The battery tester is only designed to test batteries. Testing a device with a
rapidly changing voltage could yield unexpected or inaccurate results.
Using the Alternator Performance Tester
1. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to the battery
following the instructions given in Sections 6 and 7.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into the AC outlet, following the instructions given in
section 8.
3. Start the vehicle, and turn on the vehicle’s headlights. Read the voltage on the digital
display. If you get a reading between 13.4 volts and 14.6 volts, the alternator is
working properly. If the reading is less than 13.4 volts or more than 14.6 volts, have
the charging system checked by a qualied technician.
Fan: The charger is designed to control its cooling fan for efcient operation. It is normal
for the fan to start and stop when maintaining a fully charged battery. Keep the area
near the charger free of obstructions to allow the fan to operate efciently.

ACHTUNG
GEFAHR EXPLOSIVER GASE.
2.1 Beim Arbeiten an Bleisäurebatterien Schmuck oder andere Metallgegenstände wie Ringe,
Armreifen, Halsketten und Uhren abnehmen. Die von Bleisäurebatterien erzeugten
Kurzschluss-Ströme können so stark sein, dass Ringe oder ähnliche Gegenstände mit
Metall verschweißt werden, wodurch schwere Verbrennungen entstehen können.
2.2 Insbesondere ist darauf zu achten, dass keine Metallwerkzeuge auf die Batterie fallen.
Die dadurch entstehende Funkenbildung oder ein Kurzschluss der Batterie oder anderer
Elektroteile kann zu einer Explosion führen.
2.3 Dieses Ladegerät nur zum Laden von BLEISÄURE-Batterien verwenden. Es ist nicht für
die Stromversorgung eines elektrischen Niederspannungssystems vorgesehen. Dieses
Batterieladegerät nicht zum Auaden von Trockenzellenbatterien verwenden, wie sie oft
in Haushaltsgeräten verwendet werden. Solche Batterien können bersten und dadurch
Körperverletzungen und Sachbeschädigungen verursachen.
2.4 NIEMALS eine eingefrorene Batterie auaden.
2.5 Ziehen Sie in Erwägung, Ihre Arbeiten in der Nähe einer Bleisäurebatterie nur dann zu
verrichten, während sich eine andere Person in der Nähe aufhält. Für den Fall, dass
Batteriesäure mit Haut, Kleidung oder Augen in Kontakt kommt, viel frisches Wasser und
Seife bereithalten.
2.6 Falls Batteriesäure mit Ihrer Haut oder Kleidung in Kontakt kommt, den betroffenen Bereich
sofort mit Wasser und Seife waschen. Falls Säure in die Augen gelangt, diese mindestens
10 Minuten lang mit ießendem kaltem Wasser spülen und sofort einen Arzt hinzuziehen.
Wird Batteriesäure versehentlich verschluckt, Milch, Eiweiß oder Wasser trinken. KEIN
Erbrechen herbeiführen. Sofort einen Arzt aufsuchen.
3. VORBEREITEN AUF DAS LADEN
ACHTUNG
RISIKO DES KONTAKTS MIT BATTERIESÄURE. BEI BATTERIESÄURE
HANDELT ES SICH UM STARK KORROSIVE SCHWEFELSÄURE.
3.1 Alle Kabelhüllen entfernen und die Kabel vor Verwendung des Batterieladegeräts abwickeln.
3.2 Falls die Batterie zum Auaden aus dem Fahrzeug entfernt werden muss, stets den
geerdeten Anschluss zuerst abtrennen. Alle Zubehörteile im Fahrzeug müssen abgeschaltet
sein, um eine Bogenbildung zu verhindern.
3.3 Batterieanschlüsse vor dem Auaden reinigen. Während des Reinigens verhindern, dass
Korrosionspartikel in der Luft in Kontakt mit Augen, Nase oder Mund kommen. Batteriesäure
mit Backnatron und Wasser neutralisieren, um ein Freisetzen von Korrosionspartikeln in die
Luft zu verhindern. Augen, Nase oder Mund nicht berühren.
3.4 Destilliertes Wasser in jede Zelle füllen, bis die Batteriesäure den vom Batteriehersteller
vorgegebenen Pegel erreicht. Nicht überfüllen. Bei einer Batterie ohne abnehmbare
Zellkappen, wie z. B. einer geschlossenen VRLA-Bleisäurebatterie, ist die Anleitung des
Herstellers zum Auaden einzuhalten.
