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
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 battery type and charge rate.
10. When charging is complete,
disconnect the charger from the AC
power, remove the clamps from the
vehicle's chassis, and then remove
the clamp from the battery terminal.
CHARGING A BATTERY OUTSIDE
OF THE VEHICLE
1. Place battery in a well-ventilated area.
2. Clean the battery terminals.
3. Connect a 24-inch long, 6-gauge
(AWG) insulated battery cable to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post
(i.e., jumper cable, not provided).
4. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to
the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post.
5. Position yourself and the "negative
post extension" cable as far away from
the battery as possible, and connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the
cable's free end.
6. Connect the charger to the electrical
outlet.
7. Select the battery type and charge rate.
8. When charging is complete,
disconnect the charger from the AC
power, disconnect the negative clamp,
and finally the positive clamp.
9. A marine (boat) battery must be
removed and charged on shore.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with
an auto-start feature. Current will not be
supplied to the battery clamps until a
battery is properly connected. The clamps
will not spark if touched together.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an Automatic Charge is performed,
the charger switches to the maintain mode
automatically after the battery is charged.
BATTERY CHARGING TIMES
APPLICATION
POWERSPORTS
AUTOMOTIVE
MARINE
Times are based on a 50% discharged battery
and may change, depending on age and condition
of battery.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off and the
CHARGING (yellow/orange) LED will
flash. The digital display will show an
error code (see Troubleshooting for a
description of the error codes). To reset
after an aborted charge, unplug the
charger from the AC outlet, wait a few
moments and then plug it back in.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours. If
desulfation fails, charging will abort and the
CHARGING (yellow/orange) LED will flash.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED/MAINTAINING (green) LED.
When pulsing, the charger has switched
to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the CHARGED/MAINTAINING
(green) 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.
If the charger has to provide its maximum
maintain current for a continuous 12 hour
period, it will go into abort mode (see
Aborted Charge section). This is usually
caused by a drain on the battery or the
battery could be bad.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The 28.71326 charges and maintains both
6 and 12 volt batteries.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology
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 required.
