FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE
WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than
7.1
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
7.2
Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
7.3
Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible – then connect NEGATIVE
7.4
(BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
Do not face battery when making final connection.
7.5
When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first
7.6
connection while as far away from battery as practical.
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires
7.7
equipment specially designed for marine use.

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug. The charger must be
8.1
grounded, to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet).
Do not use with an ungrounded system.
DANGER: Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper grounded outlet
8.2
installed by a qualified electrician. An improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian Regulations, use of an adapter plug is not allowed in Canada. Use of an adapter
plug in the United States is not recommended and should not be used.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
8.3
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If you must use an extension cord, follow these guidelines:
• Pins on plug of extension cord must be the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger.
• Ensure that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• Wire size must be large enough for the AC ampere rating of charger, as specified:
Length of cord (feet)
AWG* size of cord
*AWG-American Wire Gauge

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the cables prior to using the battery charger.
9.1
Extend the handle from the retracted position by pulling it upward until it locks into place. (Press the
9.2
small silver buttons inward, if necessary.)
10. CONTROL PANEL
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The Digital Display gives digital indication of voltage, % of charge or alternator status. It also gives Cool Down
time remaining during Engine Start. When chosen by the Display Button, the display will show the battery
voltage, % of charge or alternator status under certain conditions. First, when connected to a battery but not
charging, all three options are available. When charging begins, the display will automatically change to the
Voltage option, show On to indicate charging has started, and then either 6 or 12, the voltage type of the
battery determined by the charger. If the battery voltage is low, the display will continue to show On until the
voltage type is determined. % of charge is an option only after the voltage type, 6 or 12 is determined, and also
only for the Charge rate. Alternator status is an option only when not charging and for 12V battery types. When
the battery is fully charged, indicated by the Charged/Maintaining (green) LED lit, the display and all other
LEDs will turn off to conserve energy during Maintain mode.
