Before Using Your Battery Charger

It is important to understand the charger’s requirements. This section explains the charger’s electrical requirements and how to prepare a battery for charging.

PLUGGING IT IN

Your charger requires a 120V AC electri- cal outlet installed according to all local codes and ordinances.

USING AN EXTENSION CORD The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If you must use an ex- tension cord, please make sure that you follow these guidelines:

•Make sure that pins on plug of exten- sion cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger.

•Check that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

•Make sure that the wire size is large enough for its length and for the AC ampere rating, as specified in the chart below.

MINIMUM RECOMMENDED EXTENSION CORD

Length of Cord, in Feet	25	50	100	150
AWG* Size of Cord	18	18	16	14

*AWG=American Wire Gauge

Versatile Quick-Harness Snap any of the three connectors into place in seconds:

50 amp Battery Clamps Connect the end of the charger power cord and the end of the 50 Amp Battery clamps together. Follow the Operating Instructions to connect the output clamps to the battery. After a solid electrical connection is made to the battery, plug the power cord into a 3-prong grounded 110V AC electrical wall outlet.

Permanent Ring Connectors The ring connectors permanently attach to the battery providing easy access to quickly charge your battery. This application is appropriate for motorcycles, lawn tractors, ATVs and snowmobiles. To permanently attach to a battery, loosen and remove each nut from bolts at battery terminal. Connect the red POSITIVE ring con- nector ring to the POSITIVE battery terminal. Connect the black NEGA- TIVE connector ring to the NEGATIVE battery terminal. Replace and tighten the nuts to secure. Take care to keep both wires and plug away from metal and the engine hood. Plug the power cord into a 3-prong grounded 110V AC electrical wall outlet.

12V Accessory Plug

Charge or maintain your battery with- out lifting the hood.

1.Connect the end of the 12V accessory plug to the matching end of the charger power cord. Make sure connection is tight.

2.Insert the 12V accessory plug into the 12V accessory outlet.
