Maintenance And Care; Troubleshooting And Error Codes - UL LISTED 101-11 Manual Del Usuario

POWER-UP AUTO-START
This charger is equipped with an auto-start feature, which is triggered only when the charger is first
powered up. If the START button is not pressed within 30 seconds, the unit will search for a battery. If the
unit detects a battery that is properly connected, the unit will set the rate to Boost, battery type will be set
to AGM, it will automatically start the charge process, and the ON (yellow/orange) LED will light.
FAN OPERATION
The fan will operate as needed and it is normal for the fan to sometimes operate continuously. Keep the
area near the charger clear of obstructions to allow the fan to operate efficiently.

12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may have come
in contact with the clamps to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help
prevent corrosion.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help prevent accidental damage
to the cords and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC power outlet in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not store the clamps on the handle, clipped together, on or around
metal, or clipped to the cables.
