KNOW YOUR CHARGER

Read this entire manual before using your charger. The items below are additional features of your charger.

Fan: Your charger is equipped with a fan. It is normal for the fan to be on while the charger is charging (as long as the voltage is above 9V). The fan is normally off at other times but may cycle on and off due to temperature or other conditions. Keep the area near the charger clear of obstructions to allow the fan to operate efficiently.

CHARGING TIPS

Read this entire manual before using your charger. The tips below serve only as a guide for specific situations.

Reviving your battery: If you only wish to charge your battery enough to operate your vehicle; you don’t need to wait for the entire charging process to be completed. When the charger displays a battery % of 77 or more (see page 14), the battery has usually been charged enough for the vehicle to start and operate normally.

Completing an interrupted charge: If the charging process has been inter- rupted and restarted after the charger displays a battery % of 85 or more, the charger could go straight to Maintain Mode (see previous page). However, if the original charge was started using 25A, the charge can often be completed using the 2A rate.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.

1.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.

2.Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger.

3.Occasional cleaning of the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.

4.Store the battery charger in a clean and dry location.
