USING AN EXTENSION CORD
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.
AMMETER
The Ammeter indicates the amount of
current, measured in amps, that is being
drawn by the battery. As a battery takes on
a charge, it draws less current from the
charger. Correspondingly, the meter will
show less current being drawn by the
battery. When the current stops decreasing,
the battery is charged. The start area of the
meter indicates a high rate of current being
drawn from the charger. When cranking an
engine, the meter needle will be at the
extreme right side of the start area. The 2
amp charge rate may indicate some activity
on the meter, although the meter does not
have the resolution to display this low rate.
CHARGE RATE SELECTOR SWITCH
Use the Charge Rate selector switch to
select the charge rate or engine starting
setting you require.
• Switch #1 – Use this switch to select the 55
WARNING: A spark near battery may cause
battery explosion.
CHARGING A BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE
1. Turn off all the vehicle's accessories.
2. Keep the hood open.
3. Clean the battery terminals.
4. Set the charge rate switch to the OFF
position.
5. Lay the AC/DC cables away from any fan
blades, belts, pulleys and other moving
parts that can cause injury.
6. For a negative-ground vehicle (as in
most vehicles), connect the charger's
POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post. Next, connect
the charger's NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp
to the vehicle chassis or engine block,
away from the battery.
7. For a positive-ground vehicle, connect
the charger's NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
battery post. Next, connect the charger's
POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle

and the 20 Amp Charge Rate. Switch #2
must be in the down position (Select
Position) when using Switch #1.
• Switch #2 – Use this switch to select the 2
amp Charge Rate and the OFF position.
Also, use to select use of Switch #1. Note
that Switch #1 is only effective when Switch
#2 is set to "Select Position."
• 2A Slow Charge Rate – For small batteries,
such as those commonly used in garden
tractors, snowmobiles and motorcycles.
• 20A Rapid and 55A Boost Charge Rate –
For charging automotive, marine and
deep-cycle batteries. Not intended for
industrial applications.
• Engine Start 150A – Provides 150 amps
for cranking an engine with a weak or
run-down battery. Always use in combination
with a battery.
chassis or engine block away from the
battery. NEVER connect any clamps to
the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal
body parts.
8. Connect the charger to an electrical outlet.
9. Select the desired charge rate.
10. Monitor the charger and the battery.
11. When disconnecting the charger, set the
charge rate switch to the OFF position,
disconnect the charger from the AC
power, remove the clamp from the vehicle
chassis, and then remove the clamp from
the battery terminal.
