Sealy 320/1.V2, 420/1.V3, 410.V2 manual Charging the Battery, Starting a Vehicle with a Flat Battery

20th June 2002

3.3. CHARGING THE BATTERY

3.3.1 Set the mode switch to ëchargeí, indicated by the battery symbol.

3.3.2. Set the required rate of charge by using the charge level switches as shown in fig.1 or fig.2. ( Please note that when MAX is selected in fig.2 the switch marked 1 & 2 is over-ridden.)

3.3.3 Connect the charger to the mains power supply.

3.3.4. Check the current delivery to the battery by reading the ammeter on the front of the battery charger (fig.3 ammeter face may vary by model). Initially, there will be a high rate of charge which will slowly decrease according to the capacity and condition of the battery.

3.3.5. When fully charged the ammeter reading should be close to ì0î and the electrolyte in the battery should begin to gas. Stop charging to protect battery plates from oxidisation and damage.

3.3.6. Switch charger off and unplug from mains power. Disconnect the power clamps, clean the charger and store in a safe, dry area. 3.3.7. Replace the battery electrolyte cover or caps. Wipe up any splashes or spillage (remember the electrolyte is a corrosive acid). Return the battery to the vehicle, secure according the manufacturerís instructions and re-connect the power leads. Check to ensure all

tools are removed before closing the bonnet or boot.

3.4.	NOTE: If charger is connected to a fully charged battery the ammeter will show a low charging output. NO charging is necessary.
3.5.	DO NOT continue to charge a fully charged battery, as this will damage the battery. DO NOT leave a battery on charge unattended.
	STARTING A VEHICLE WITH A FLAT BATTERY
	Your starter/charger will deliver sufficient output to start a certain size of vehicle. ( This will vary according to what model you have.)
3.5.1.	To charge a battery under normal circumstances refer to 3.3. To start a vehicle which has a flat battery proceed as follows:
	Check the vehicle manufacturerís handbook and follow any special instructions. Check that the battery is in good condition.
3.5.2.	Ensure the starter/charger is disconnected from the mains power supply and, for models with dual voltage output, set the output voltage
3.5.4.	to the same as the vehicle battery: i.e. 12 or 24 volts.
	Check that the charger clamps and battery terminals are clean and free from oxidation.
3.5.5.	Without removing the power leads that connect the battery to the vehicle, connect the charger POSITIVE (red) lead to the
3.5.6.	POSITIVE (+) terminal on battery and the NEGATIVE (black) lead to NEGATIVE (-) terminal on the battery.
	Plug starter/charger into mains power supply, select a low rate of charge and turn on. Allow the battery to charge for 2-3 minutes.
3.5.7.	Turn starter/charger switch to the ëBoostí position (see figs.1 & 2) and wait for approximately 25 seconds (to allow charge to build). Turn
	the vehicle ignition on and crank the engine for a MAXIMUM of 10 seconds. If the vehicle does not start, wait 30 seconds and then
F	try again.
	WARNING! If the vehicle does not start after two attempts, DO NOT continue as vehicle battery and electrical circuits may be
3.5.8.	damaged, and the fuse in the charger will blow. Disconnect the charger and investigate for vehicle faults
	When the vehicle is running successfully, switch the starter/charger off, unplug from the mains power and disconnect the power terminals
	from the battery. DO NOT attempt to start engine with starter/charger if the battery is disconnected from the vehicle.

Your starter/charger is equipped with a safety fuse, or fuses, which will cut the power to the unit in the following circumstances: a) Overload - too high a current to the battery.

b) Short circuit - clamps touch, or cross-connection to battery. c) Prolonged starting attempts.

Should the fuse blow take the following action:

4.1. Turn the unit off and disconnect from the mains power supply.

4.2. Allow the unit to cool down, establish the reason for failure and correct.

4.3. Replace the fuse (under fuse cover on control panel). Use only Sealey replacement fuses. DO NOT use a fuse with copper bridges or similar as these will damage your starter charger. Refer to Section 2 ëSpecificationsí for fuse information and part numbers. We recommend you hold 2 or 3 spare fuses with the starter/charger.

Note: The use of an incorrect fuse will invalidate your warranty.
